So I didn't cancel; it was delivered today. I'm pleasantly surprised - seems to be good quality.
Have a real one to compare it to?

No but I'd be happy to compare with anyone in Lakewood.

Often amazon puts all items together in the warehouse so even if a seller provides amazon with fake products you may end up with legitimate products.

I just got mine, I do not either have anything to compare it to. I have read the real ones in the past and this feels the same.

Only if it's commingled. Look at the barcode - if its a UPC, or if the barcode starts with B00, then it can be commingled with other sellers merchandise, otherwise if it starts with X00 then it's not commingled.

Incorrect.
Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you're right.

Got mine. Looks like a British edition with the printed price only in GBP, but quality looks comparable to the individual books we already have.

One thing I noticed is that the box has a different list of titles than what the books are. The list doesn't include Tintin and the Soviets or Alph Art which are in the set but does include Tintin & Co. which is not in the set.

The more people buy this stuff the more Amazon will be flooded with Chinese knockoffs. Before you know it you’ll be able to buy a Chinese full sized English Artscroll Scottenstein Shas (all 73 volumes) for $600...
