In Reply to: RE: Partsconnexion.com is shipping counterfeit Oyaide Plugs! posted by Awe-d-o-file on December 11, 2008 at 12:19:54
The M1/F1's are packaged in a nice box with cutouts for the connectors....other legitimate Oyaide plugs are packaged in a metal tube and cover. What Joe is referring to is the cardboard box used as a container for the knock-off's. If they were legit, you'd receive 037's, 046's, 079's, and 004's in the silver-colored metal tube.

I knew it was legit, I was just clarifying that the M-1's are boxed. Thanks for your reply. I love the metal toobz!

Me too. Having dozens of them, I wish I could make them into a sculpture of some sort. I won't throw them away, as it would only contribute to more unnecessary landfill waste.
With ecological concerns growing all the time, it would be nice if Oyaide would consider providing a nice recycled cardboard container. Maybe I'll suggest that idea at CES.
Manufacturers of novelty products are notorious for overly wasteful comes to packaging. Unfortunately Oyaide is no exception. I was given a box of nice Japanese semi-perishable dessert in package of 12 finger size pieces; each piece individually wrapped in 3 layers of very nice and very well decorated paper and plastic wrappers, then the pieces packaged in a beautiful wooden box and completed by another 2 nice layers of wrappers. I thought I was given a package of jewelery. The box was nice to keep though.

That's partially a Japanese thing . . . Japanese have a real fetish for excessive packaging . . .
