Bought Verbatim 43888 off Amazon.fr from seller Quality Value Supplies.

Both my computer and MakeMKV detected an LG BU40N.

While it did have the notable Super Multi and Bluray logo on the drive tray fascia plate,

• It did not have the small picture of the drive on the back of the door.

• The Model code of the label on the back of the drive was KIAB, not KIAA.

I will be returning it and trying Amazon.de. Does anyone know if they still send out Pioneers?
I don't think so from what I have heard over the past few days. I think all of the Pioneer 43888's are gone. Only LG BU40N versions from now on.
Cheers :D

I too received a LG 43888 from Quality Value Supplies via Amazon.de. It was worth a shot.
