  Hello. I just recently purchased quite a few star wars minigigures from various
people here on bricklink. I noticed that some of the helmets (clone troopers,
storm troopers) have the Lego logo inside the helmet where it attaches to the
head. Some do not. I looked it up online but couldn't get a solid answer.
So here I am asking the experts. Do all star wars Lego minifigures have the logo
inside the helmet? Or only some? How can I tell if they are genuine or fakes?

1) Read million posts, help, google, whatever about LEGO logo, copyright presence
or such.

2) Trust BrickLink (serious shops) and LEGO which (try to) rule them all.

3) Do NOT buy LEGO for Collection if you can't tell.

Only some of them do.

If you have doubts about any of them, you can post pictures here. But I think
if you got them on BrickLink the chance of their being fake is very very small.

I know I’ll probably get yelled at by the “not always!” crowd, but in my experience
helmets made in that recently (2020) have the logo. Sometimes very small on that
connecting piece inside the helmet.

Of course I could be wrong.

Most new ones do indeed have them but many older headgears only have a C, a number,
or nothing at all

There's misinformation (unintentional), disinformation (intentional) and
then there's the uninformed. The latter is preferred until certain of the
facts.

Why the OP cancelled is that it's been resolved via pm. Several headgear
parts within 2020 sets are without either copyright or logo molding

Ah ok I looked but didn’t see a year in sub posts of the original one so I must
have missed that
