mayhaps Gok can help.... he's one of the meticulous resource persons I know who can provide dissertation like analysis and explanations to point out differences between an original and fake TF. Wish Ozformers has a letterhead though.... would need Griffins approval of course hehehe. Or ask Tiby he's a lawyer AND a certified TF collector at the same time - sorry couldnt provide much help only can try and point you to some more " resource person" types I know.
