| Pulled the trigger on these as soon as I saw them for $30. Was able to locate
Ahsoka if she's legit, but can't find this Boba's chest plate anywhere.
Please tell me I'm not getting ripped off. Seller's feedback is 100%
with hundreds of items. I messaged him after the fact, but haven't heard
back yet. Thanks!

Bobas helmet looks fake and so does ahsokas lightsabers. Usually every lego piece
has the word "LEGO" molded into them so I would check for that. You can take
off their heads and in the head connector stud it should say lego.

You are wrong! Check this forum on searching for words like fake, real etc.
Since you are also a seller, please educate yourself in knowing what is real,
marked or unmarked.
Lego can be unmarked, marked with LEGO, with a C, a molding number, inside an
inner studholder in, for instance, a helmet, or just around the studholder (hard
to see sometimes). Lots if different ways.

Fakes, they come with the black tile missing the Lego logo on the studs.

Possibly a knock off
Lock at the top of the neck and in the hips for the logos.

| Fake, the quality isn’t there. The prints aren’t well enough, very visible on
BF knees, belt and crotch and Ahsoka’s tentacles. There are some visible molding
dots on BF hand, Ahsoka’s lightsaberhilts are a very bad example of cheap molding
and her legs have some strange markings and non flat feet undersides.
Poor quality fakes.

Pulled the trigger where ... on BrickLink or another large site with potentially
questionable products ?
If this happened on BL, the site needs to take a long hard look at that seller.

I was about to say this. These are so obviously fake it makes my eyes hurt.
No seller should have fallen for this.

They look fake to me. Check the top of the torso's neck for the Lego logo.
Should also be a logo between the tall studs on top of the hips if they're
legit. But they do not even look to be of Lego quality to be honest.

| I contacted the seller again and let him know BFs chest and ATs tentacles don't
match any BL products. I asked him to either produce pics with the logos on the
product and sets they're from or just cancel and refund the order. With a
three word reply, he immediately canceled and refunded everything. Haven't
seen them relisted yet either. Weird that his other products are packaged and
he has 100% feedback. These were still listed as Lego, which is why I jumped
so quick at the chance of that AT for $30.

Charitably, maybe he made a mistake.

| They're both fakes - here's my sw0711 which is taken from a new set.
I'm surprised that any Bricklink seller would think they were genuine.
I hope this helps

Those knockoffs come out of china/aliexpress for a couple dollars each then resold
as Lego to unsuspecting parents for too much money. I bought a few on aliexpress
to see the quality as compared to genuine Lego. The all red vader is one such
knockoff.

| Just look at Ahsoka's headdress... 5 dark blue lines on each side coming
straight up to the edge. The fake in your picture looks nothing like this.
