I agree with you all... thats why ENDLESS Japan has told us to let the customer know about this issue... You might be able to get the pads cheaper from unknow sources (eg...internet trading etc) but what you are getting maybe something to consider about... remember you can never buy life...

If you've not already purchased them, the only way to make sure is to purchase them off an Authorised dealer.

If you already have, you can tell the difference because the copies are not as heavy as the genuine article, and if enough pressure is applied, they will snap in half!!!
