The most immediate/obvious difference between the original and reissue is the packaging, with reissue First Aid looking like this. Otherwise, I think you need to check the copyright stamp. Some of the 1990-91 reissues had their copyright stampage blanked out. First Aid's copyright stamp is located on the inside of the front panel section.
My First Aid is an original and the copyright stamp says, on the left hand side:
(C)HASBRO
1986
Then on the right hand side:
(C)TAKARA
CO.,LTD
1986 .JAPAN
Note that the reissue is fully legitimate and not a fake -- so if it's easier for you to find a reissue then rest assured that it is an authentic reproduction from Hasbro.
My First Aid has 1986 stamped on the inside, i checked that when i bought it.
The guy has a selection of other combiners and i was just wondering what do they have stamped where 1980-whatever was stamped on the original?
Also the Reprolabels guy, is he on ebay?
Cheers, Ken
Yeah but some fakes may still carry the copyright stampage anyway... have a look at that link I provided that discusses the differences between real and fake First Aid.
I imagine it would be similar stampage somewhere on the toy.

Awesome, thanks. My First Aid has some contradicting evidence. It appears to have the "large" rear window of the counterfeit (i think, its hard to gauge the size accurately) but the "blood" red chest piece of the original (as opposed to bright red on the counterfeit). Not so bothered about that one, picked it out of a bin of random toys for a few bucks.
Also, is there a list of pre-rub transformers anywhere? i had a search and could not find one.
Cheers, Ken
