Got my eVilBay purchases through today, everyone was right

Only the Han Endor blaster seems genuine, bollocks. Let's see what the seller says.

Couldn't find this Endor version on TIG so I'll send them some pics

Scraped some paint off, black sabre underneath

These repos makers are really starting to get those black palace blasters looking original :evil:
Your Bespin blaster looks good I think but I'm not sure from that side 8)

 

[ollie]

The Bespin blaster has tonnes of flashing all over it, but it does float (should it sink?)

 

[snaggletooth]

Some of those bespin blasters do have flashing and they all float.

sorry to see all this repro, I am not sure about the bespin blaster but it looks strange :?

The black palace blaster looks legit to me :wink:

The black palace blaster looks legit to me :wink:

No chance, it perfectly matches one on TIG, although it does float.....

I've spoken to the seller who's given me a 50% refund so £8 for some vintage figures and one (maybe 2) blasters is cool

The palace blaster is a repro, I'm helping to write a report for TIG on these floating repros. In total there are 6 weapons!!

Might have some other floating repros if they can be of any help - Stormie blasters and Imp Stormie rifles. They look right though :? This is the problem with these things

Just had a look on TIG, I stand corrected, last I knew the fakes did not have a dot on the barrel, looks like the repro's are getting more convincing :|

Yes it is sad that they make those repro better, as I see it today the new ones are only made to trick people :evil:

Does that include that black Leia blaster I sold you a couple of years back that I thought was legit because it floated?!

repro is getting more and more like the original if i see any really good looking new ones on ebay with full repro disclosure i always purchase one just for comparisons.
always handy to keep hold of these to compare when buying vintage as some sellers honestly dont know they are fake,then there are the ones that do know :evil:

Great idea to catalogue these things
