I'm a noob but I feel bad for Tony. It seems like you don't bother to inform yourself about the different versions produced by the factory and relied on Tony to offer the best replicas. Replicas being the key word, which are made clandestinely and with poor QC. He might have taken you for a ride but you had every right to stop it at the QC pictures. Instead you didn't bother to pick up on flaws that aren't up to your standards. Yes, Tony took you for a ride for the prices (I mean for USD1K you could buy some really nice pieces right there - rep and gen) but it's as much your fault for not picking up the quality... Sounds like what Donald Trump would do tbh.
