have nowadays about counterfeit parts. The forum is replete with posts about
parts that people think might be fake because they don't match 100% with

Dear god I agree.


I go through hundreds of lbs a year and the only counterfeits that are even remotely
convincing are usually marvel figs once in a while. No one is bothering to copy
plates and other regular parts.




Some of us older fans have seen all the iterations, in real time, so I do get
that perhaps I can see and spot things newer hobbyists can't. That said I
agree its a way too common concern.
