DT saber or broken Tip...??

[Dublinjeff]

Contradicting myself here when i said on another post it should be easy to spot a DT saber on a carded figure. Couldn't really make out from the photos online. Took a punt anyway.

Just wondering what people's first impressions are of this. It's on an original, 1980's, recarded figure I have on the way...just looked slightly different to me. Guess I will find out soon enough... :lol: :lol:

Hi mate

I was watching that, thought it wouldn't go as its a rough reseal, but the sabre caught my attention

Pm sent

Did you read the emails on the listing where he mentioned a retractable tip :shock:

Couldn't afford to take a punt though, so I hope you have a peach there mate, lets hope it's DT :wink:

:lol: :lol: They were my emails to the seller....I reckoned it was a bit bargain considering the price of loose Palitoy cardbacks anyways.

realised and edited my post and pm d you :lol:

Hope your on a winner mate, like you say for that price you'll do ok anyway

Good spot if it comes off :wink:

:lol: No worries.

It looks like a Brown eye paint figure to me

When you get it, will you then open it to find out more about the saber ?

 

[Dublinjeff]

I reckon so, yes. It's a very poor reseal. Bubble is loosely attached.

I believe there's a world of difference opening this back up as opposed to a Factory sealed card?

 

[Pomse2001]

I think you would also love to know if it is a real DT or just a repro ? or do you know if it is a real or repro ?

 

[Dublinjeff]

Seller has said it's a genuine figure bought complete in the 80's

 

[Dublinjeff]

Another shot of the card.

Got everything crossed for you Jeff, really hope it is mate

The suspense is killing me :shock:

 

[walkie]

my money is on broken (sorry jeff), but I hope i'm wrong.

 

[mumbo]

That would be one hell of a pick up, really hope it comes good Jeff

 

[itfciain]

my money is on broken (sorry jeff), but I hope i'm wrong.

I'm with Stef - however would be a great score if it is genuine

Deep down, Gut is telling me this too, but you have to dream...

 

[Dublinjeff]

Although I will be a little disappointed, as i asked straight out if the tip of the saber was missing. And was told, no its there, just fully retracted...

 

[walkie]

We'll keep are fingers crossed

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Fingers Crossed for you Jeff!

I hope it is real, do you know how to spot those original sabers ? Some years ago I heard about a guy who melt original broken sabers and make new out of them. I am still confused about how we spot those sabers :?
