I'm getting closer to biting the bullet on those damned Series 3 ones now, both of which I'm still lacking.  Patience was NOT a virtue with those...  >:(

Watch out for those fake Lograys!  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.   :-\

I read at KubrickWorld that the most notorious "fake Logray" seller, madsontoys, is now selling under a new name on eBay, anyone remember what it is so J-MAC can beware with his purchase?

I don't know his name but the combination of all the fakes and my hatred of Ewoks means my collection will never be complete because I won't risk major dollars on what may well be a fake. :-\

There is a Logray up now, but no real pics...
One is the same pic from the checklist here and then a teeny tiny smaller pic.
Buyer beware!

WTF?  Someone ripped JD's Logray picture for their eBay auction?

Sure enough, looks like the same pic with the watermark cut off...   >:(

Looks like a job for Dale!   ;)

Pardon me for being dense on the Logray thing (don't care for ewoks either), but why is it that the are faked so easy??  The wicket and paploo I have don't really look like him. Can anyone explain??  Do they make them from their own molds?
Anyone got a ben for sale??

I should have mentioned the pic sooner, I noticed it earlier today and thought it looked familiar.
Too bad it wasn`t linked right to the pic, fun times when that happens  ;)

Not sure why Logray is/was faked so much. Maybe someone just decided to try it and it turned out
good? Plus wicket was dirt cheap to buy for a box for the fake.
Tan can explain further, but I guess when you have it in your hands, you can tell right away
it was fake.
Quite a few early bearbricks were faked. There are bootleg spidey, venom and venom/punisher
kubs out there too. I got burned on a venom/punisher one  >:(

Yep, I have Luke displayed with cloak on and off.  :)

You got that right, eBay has been informed on this matter. Just hope they will do something about it, time will tell. Piece of ******* ****!  >:(

Hey I noticed there's a toy show on the 4th.  Think Series 6 will be revealed?  Maybe we'll get a Jabba boxed set finally.  There better be something cool.  I'm just not satisfied with the 25+ SW Kubricks 2005 gave us.    ;)

World Character Convention starts on the 4th. Might be some news released.
Also, the VCD Stormie will be sold, so start watching eBay if anyone is looking for one  :)
