From the little I know mate...

Kenner sent overstock accessories to Mexico which were subsequently put with LL figures then put on made in Mexico cards. Think they were mainly to then send back to the American market.

So if a LL figure was put next to a MIM figure, there is no difference,

I'm sure LL aficionados will chip in mate

The figure itself is the same. Accessories may be 'Kenner' . In squid's case the MIM weapon is V5 the 'more correct' Ledy weapon is V1. http://www.imperialgunnery.com/bespinblasters.htm BUT LL Lando bespin MOC has been seen with V5.

Do they command a higher price tag generally??

 

[Michael Sith]

If it's loose, it's just LL and dictates the price LL figures fetch.

If it's carded I.e. MIM, then it will demand a price due to MIM collectors and variant collectors wanting it.
If it is MIM and carded, the back of the card Is usually more Matt in finish and slightly darker in colours.
Also ( not all) MIM cards have a small hole in the back behind the bubble, which I think was something to do with letting the heat out during the bubble sealing process, also MIM may have a smooth seal ( not a waffle pattern).

But I am no expert, just trying to learn :wink:
