reported - good work.

- V1 can be identified by the vertical line highlighted (1). - V2: the site highlighted is much more squared off (2a) on this version than the Repro. In addition you can see that there is a line running all the way along the barrel (2b). - v3: again the site is much more squared off than the...

what is the tell then? i.e. how do we identify the new modified end blaster from an original? I'm still not 100% clear on this...I've seen pictures on tig but could do with an explanation.

would polish also be okay to use if the residue is on the bubble?

Yeah, when I questioned them, he said he got them in the late 80s as overstock. But like I say they didn't seem like any I had so I returned them. Couldn't take the chance on them as I am almost 100% certain my other sabres are genuine as they look right, have letteres/dots on the hilt or in the...

Not sure if this is frowned upon but i deliberately bought repros back in mid noughties - they live in a repro bag - its way more re-assuring when you have them to compare originals against. In fact, only last week I bought a re-valveIt luke sabre - (as i had a few sabres that I was...

Like I said in another post about sabres, I bought 3 sabres off him, returning 2. I wasnt sure about the 2 (non lettered), they weren't like any other in my collection. He said he got them in the late 80s with a bunch of overstock. However, I would really love to know where people buy their...

Did a uv light test. All the Sabres I know to be original , 3 lettered, 1 Taiwan and 1 other all glow. The two posted on this forum don't. I have a revalve it one which also doesn't glow. I'm not sure if uv light is 100% fool proof but results don't offer any encouragement. Like I said I am...

Yep, thanks all, I am going to contact TIG (John Paul Ragusa) to get his thoughts. These little investigations sure keep things interesting!!

Thanks for this, that was really confusing me about the v3 on TIG. As it did seem to be a match. I can get my money back on this one. Really appreciate the help!! Thanks again, Armand.

Meant to ask, M4K3R1, where did you get those screen shots from above? I never saw those sorts of detailed ones on TIG, at least I didnt't notice. Thanks again. Armand.

Hi, thanks for this. This is really good info. I will check when I get home again this evening. But my gut feeling is your analysis is correct. One further note of caution, I noticed from another thread that a certain marsking was the seller of this sabre (both in fact). Not sure if this was...

I have sabres of my own to which they compare favourabley with but it's so difficult to be 100% sure. I'll try the uv approach also. Never had a rough texture one though but colour size and shape all seem good. Thanks all.

Got these on eBay - paid slightly over the odds but not too bad I guess. Both float - the one on the right has a rough texture but seems to match v3 on TIG. It's hard to be conclusive with these things but any opinions welcome. Is there any other method of verifying? I heard someone mention...

Although I've had a few issues with RM recently I still believe in the overall service, particular because I live in quite a remote area and our postie is superb. Really stand up guy (although supports Liverpool) but always makes sure we get our post. Will go out of his way to do so. At times he...

Thanks Christian, I'll take a look. Its defo not a baggie version as its from my childhood, most likely a ROTJ card bought in Toymaster!! Thanks, AJ

Hi, I have been looking through my loose collection and I noticed (was never paying much attention before to coo's) but I have several raised bar china figures. Luke Farmboy Luke X-wing I don't think these are even uncommon although they say that the China Luke Framboy keeps his colour...

Hi, I was looking for advice on postage costs on loose figures. I posted two last week. Standard sized figures. I took them to the post office and they weighed them and put the letter through a fake letter box and then charged me either 2:80 per figure(or was it 3:80 – I hadn’t asked for...

Most of my Star Wars figures and accessories were all bought at Toymaster stores here in N Ireland. Brings me back.
