Blue Falcon Struts

[Section 8]

I know these are becoming quite sought after so was wondering if there are any repro going around?

I recently had 3 of which one was a darker blue than the other matching two which are now in a Falcon I recently sold.

Anyone know the origin of my darker blue stru?. It looks and feels legit to me, but is the 1st I've ever noticed.

Todd chimes in on this thread about repro struts....

No conclusion though. The mention of struts from a modern Falcon is interesting though.

Thanks for the link. I don't think it's repro and I didn't know a vintage style replica Falcon had been released. There would be loads of these floating around Ebay otherwise, yet this is the only one I've come across.

I've come across them in different shades - not sure if the companies producing them used slightly different plastics or whether it is discolouration (could be both).

Not a vintage replica, just the same mold beefed up for the Power of the force 2 release...
