Well, that was the same shop I went to. However, I believe the Serpent bags that are there could be the original as I did not check.
Well (too), when you go to Australia and buy a genuinely identical souvenir with that country, that is kangaroo (I mean a doll) and you will see in the label : Made in China. And if you buy a banana (this time the real one) the sticker was: Venezuela.
Wake up!! this is a global world.
If Serpents wants to stay like they used to be... fine, I will still drive their car anyway.
But one thing for sure, If company like BOSCH GmbH, Phillips GmbH, and other holland base company did their production outside Holland, mainly to cut the production and distribution cost, Serpent should not think twice about the benefit to do so.
And as long as their tooling quality is not as high as a Tamiya ones, I dont see the reason for not to making it in Taiwan or even China. Remember! we dont buy your car, most of us buy your brand. Please correct me if im wrong.
That is just a point of view form a serpent fan.
