Spotting Poon fake Stormtroopers from a picture

[Pomse2001]

How and why would RS but there neck on the line for this guy!

He has flooded the market with repro Vlix, boba fetts and now stormtroopers!!

He is a "Respected" collector. On the other hand a novice guy who may list a horrible looking repro cardback....and they are all over it. It's not what you do...as much as ...who you are.

Sound like a politician :lol:

I'm amazed that mark poon is still allowed to be a member on other star wars forums after pulling a stunt like this?

Why not delete the coo or replace it with "made in china 2012" or "repro"!!!

I agree mate - isnt this counterfeiting? and thus illegal?

 

[Pomse2001]

I would think it is, I contacted Hasbro last year about it. But it looks like they have not done anything about it

It's a strange one Lars - Something should be done about it - This sort of thing could ruin the hobby - Repro weapons are bad enough without repro figures

Yes you are right about that. Hasbro told me they would look into it. But that was last year. Maybe we all should complain about it to hasbro, if they get many mails about those fake stormtroopers then they will maybe do something about it :? or if we make a petition and mail it to Hasbro.

Yes it is a good guide and at least another forum agrees that these are "Repros".....not bootlegs as another forum believes these to be. :roll:

 

[walkie]

Only us clever people refer to them as repro :lol:
