Hello everyone,

Just arrived here and posted a quick presentation of myself in the appropriate thread.
After having sold of most of my SW toys as a teenager, I've recently started collecting again to add to the few ships and figures I still had left.
I've bought off various websites and car boot sales but I'm starting to have doubts about certain weapons/accessories. I've noticed that repros seem to be a massive problem (depending on where you stand on the subject) and I'm having trouble telling if some of the ones i have are fake or not.
If anyone can help me, here are a few pictures of the ones I have doubts about. Thanks !!
PS : They all float except for Yoda's cane and Leia's cap

Some genuine telescoping lightsabers float and some sink so the float test can't be applied to those, the genuine Yoda cane's sink.

The float test is becoming a little bit outdated nowadays as they are making repros that float, having said that it's still worth doing the float test.

You can also do a drop test which is a bit hard to explain but the genuine weapons have a higher quality type of thud as opposed to the repros that have a cheaper more plasticky type of sound when they hit the floor.

Some of those you have you'll need to supply better pictures because the Imperial blasters for example, the repros of those nowadays are getting very close to looking like the originals.

Welcome, is that silver Pilot Blaster metallic, or has it been painted, or is it just the lighting?

It's just the lighting. It's black.
