Thanks Steve, it is direct. I take it it will need full insurance on shipping if it invoice type PP.

Hello Folks, What is the current 'must do' tips if you shipping to US if someone uses Paypal for payment. Is it tracking the most important to cover against any potential claims rather than value/ insurance. What the most reliable couriers? Cheers Jules

Hello Folks, Was Takara sold in UK in the 70/80's? The reason why I ask, I remember buying Vader from a toy shop in Chichester. I had always remember Vader was different to my other figs as he had JAPAN stamped on his leg. In case you asking, I no longer have him thanks to Mother!

Cheers Mike for directing me to here. It is nice to see this thread, especially as I am lucky enough to still have my childhood 99p pack :-)

UKG90 Princess Leia ESB45 proof card (Arena Offer) added to the list!

Thanks for the input guys. There is a key question that isn't answered in my eyes - What about the factory style of bubble sealing to the MOC under uniform pressure, which I see on this MOC. Can Toni fake this I ask, if so - this could take it to another level of fakery? Cheers, Jules

Hello Jason, I enclose some more pics of the front of the card as looking at the back is very faint - you need to move the card in the light reflection to see it - there a very slight bend where the seal is. Points to include (From the photos): there actually 5 dimbles - 2 extra on left side...

Hi Jason, Would it be possible to link me to the video in case it is of a one or quality that I not seen. Also note the stormie MOC got an uniform pressure indention around the seal area on the card all round the bubble - it does look like a factory press device or similar. Cheers, Jules

I got the stormtrooper card out and had another look. There a 3rd dimble between the bubble stems above L of Ltd. I had another good look at the seal. It is definitely done under a uniform pressure all the seal area round implying a proper pressing kit such as they had in the factory. It is...

I definitely believe that Toni has original stock as I used to visit the display stall in Brighton over several years - I believe this is Toni's? Among the various MOCs usually included Trilogos with dents, RoTJ with yellow bubbles, mecanno Jawas - some bubbles with slight yellowing - they...

I tried to read some of this thread and there a lot to digest. Dimbles was mentioned within. The Storm card photo seem to indicate dimbles (i need to dig him out to check). Does dimbles indicate anything?

Thanks for chipping in Jason. the storm is German and snow is a 65d. So it is Toni, does it mean it is a fake or just suspect as I gather he sold some genuine as well? I haven't been following the forums when this first broke out and there too many posts all over too to read the relevant bits...

I could do with some PC tips and happily pay a fiver Andy - so please add me if not too late! Cheers, Jules

I know there be a lot of posts of the potential Toy Toni scam all over the place including on RS, it quite hard to find what you want . The evidence for most part is circumstantial I gather? So I appreciate your inputs on the 2 stormies below - any concerns? Cheers, Jules
