Hey guys!! Im doing so much better thank you!! I do have the pictures if you still need them.

Glad you're OK Johnny

Post your photos for sure! and email them to Jay

My wife gets out of work in 5 hours I will Post them then she has the real computer and Im just on the ipad right now!! Also my wife said when she was taking the pics of the repro saber she noticed that the round bumps on the handle on one side are more circular and the other side the bumps were mre oval??? I think that may help also.

Here are the pics n sunlight Craig.



I hope they are good enough, it is the best we can do so far.

Thanks Johnny!

Hi AJ,

Yep mate only one factory made the blue sabre!

The evidence (so far) strongly points to only one factory producing the blue sabre. My findings are consistent with other Luke Jedi collections.

See my limelight thread for more details but to summarise:
- The ROTJ Card back will have "HN" next to the POP on carded specimens.
- The Figure inside with have a pink painted face and a COO of “Hong Kong” on the leg
- Carded specimens include: USA, Canada, Austrailia Kenner Cards
- Bagged specimens include: Kenner & Palitoy Baggies with the correct "HN" Luke inside.

To answer the other questions though... I find this interesting...

The mould in general look very similar to me... but it is hard to tell what the bump looks like.

Can Dan do some extra photos? I would love to see the small thumbnail as a full size photo. And can we remove the yellow arrow as it blocking the view

Also I can’t see a significant increase in size; whereabouts should I be looking at?

As I can’t see the bump clearly to determine if it is a deliberate change, at moment there’s a few plausible reasons:

Tooling change at the HN factory with a slightly different mould, or the mould was compromised, or another mould was used in production at the same time – this would explain very slight differences in size.
