I remember my brother bought some bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh cards a few years ago. We had a great time reading the mistranslations: "If this card no Imperial Palace, it destroyed. Each turn, the opponent's monster will be ruined dub to the war."

Bootleg translations are freaking hilarious!

Also, I remember I used to play on a bootleg plug n' play console that had various NES hacks and stuff like that. I think it was called the Console TV and was made by (not)Phillips.

I once saw a Power Kracker at a flea market in Florida.

Multiple ones, in fact. All being sold by four or five different people.

I guess any any knock-off console could fall under the Bootleg Merch category.
It is important that you don't buy knock-off branded products as they are often are of lower quality and in the case of food and medicine, could actually lead to illness or death, and bootleg/counterfeited vehicles may have an increased risk of accidents.

Some dude was getting rid of his stuff when moving and my Friend bought it. He had to trade SMB3 for it but he had 2 copies and he likes SMW NES better than SMB3 because Yoshi.

I don't have a photo, but I was at a Chinese shop to buy a drink on the way home from school once, and I noticed a box with dolls of Elsa and Anna from Frozen. What was it called?
"Magic with Snow".
The dolls looked a little off-model, too.

I remember of a chinese bootleg of the tic tacs, but they were called "dot ums", and they contained gluten. I was like "wtf".
