[QUOTE="laurencedyer, post: 488897, member: 5990"] I don’t think I have a steady enough hand for forensics Vince. In response to your question from your comment regarding having not had many questions relating to this post as of yet, are you referring to collectors asking questions about their packs that may have Suspect packs in their collections. 19 Palitoy packs and 2 Suspect packs were identified from 21 packs located on the main UK sources of the Forum, Vectis & Echo. Maybe this is why questions have not been asked as the UK identified items seem largely unaffected. Regarding the source of the packs I will detail the sources identified. I have been conscious of posting this data for several reasons. One of the reasons for this is that the comparisons from the research have been able to be considered in an unbiased manner. The research seems to have been well received with no collector questioning the comparisons. Another reason is that the source of a number of the Suspect packs trace back to one source. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to make direct contact with the source in order to establish the source further back and no accusations or allegations are being made but sharing the findings of the research that was documented. What also needs to be considered is that these packs have been noticed for sale at events such as NEC & LFCC through other vendors as mentioned on the link below. http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30926&hilit=heads+up+fake+warning Palitoy font source of origin.
