I haven't seen any of these bootleg bags in years, to be honest.

Playmobil Malta had a crackdown on market traders a few years ago and that seems to have more or less ended it.

I remember one year when we were in Malta for Christmas and in the Sunday market in Valetta, that someone asked on of the sellers if he had any Christmas figures, "No," he answered, "but I can get you some for next week."

Defence counsel Joe Giglio, asked the police superintendent what car he had. Supt Magri said he had a nine-year-old Peugeot and before that he had a Skoda.

Dr Giglio asked him whether he had authorisation from Skoda to sell on the car. Did he have authorisation to change its tyres.

The Superintendent said he did not have authorisation, but no official complaint was filed against him.

No... but if you bought the car from him, and then tried to sell it, could the superintendent stop him? :hmm:
And could the superintendent sell the car without Peugeot having him put in jail?

To me, this is a ridiculous case. :hmm:

I agree... plus I know Vicky and she has been great always and a very honest seller.
