I may be wrong but......
I thought burgundy caped bibs were LL only and never found on Palitoy cards??? Can someone with more knowledge chime in?

This guys description hit close to home for me, because I used to buy SW figures from JM in Torquay in 1983 and saw all the SW films at the Odeon across the road too.
Custom right?

I would honestly tell you to avoid this if you're thinking about buying it. Three reasons that make me think it's not legit. First being the fact they didn't release a Palitoy Bib Fortuna burgundy cape on the card. Secondly, he say's that he's never seen another? But surely he's goggled Bib Fortuna burgundy to get a price idea for it. And third, he has no pictures of the inside lining that would show for sure if it was a legit burgundy cape. Now, if you're thinking it might be a Lilli Ledy version, then I will tell you that Lilli Ledy Bib Fortuna came with a darker stuff and chest plate than the one for sale here.

Your welcome buddy it's a lot smarter to ask before hand than pay £180 and then ask.
