| Man they are starting to make them harder to spot, do these float or sink. I know lots who use that method a lot. Detail was usually a good way to spot them as well as colour. The detail in these looks pretty good. |

| These float...
The fake Imperial blaster has the diamond cross hatch pattern very similar to the 'Taiwan' V5 blaster but barrel end, side clip and handgrip shape do not match. |

| These floating blasters have now been labelled as Imperial Blaster Repro V11 and Jawa Blaster Repro V6, and given an entry on the archive.

| Looks like they have moved into Blue, Green and Yellow lightsabers now.
All passing the standard tests |

| In addition to her eBay account, they have been on Gumtree as well.
And all because so many children were hurting themselves on the hard resin type reproductions... |

Weapons are very shiny, i hope they will not damage them a bit for a vintage aspect to trick the buyers

| I see people are starting to re-sell weapons these under 'Vintage Star Wars' banner and saying they pass float test without saying they are 'original' or 'reproductions'
Lines are definitely getting blurred now |

Thanks for sharing, it's really concerning to see how much progress is being made on these repro weapons.
