| Hi everyone,
I bid on eBay lots often and am always suspicious of counterfeit Lego. I absolutely
want to avoid mistakenly selling counterfeit Lego in my store and I inspect the
lots I win HEAVILY.
I received some Super Battle Droids - Pearl Dark Gray Item No: sw0092. I see
the lego stamp on the torso and both arms, but not anywhere on the legs:
Part No: 42687 Pearl Dark Gray Legs Mechanical, Super Battle Droid.
I am trying to search the internet but can't get a definitive answer. Could
ya'll help me out which determining? I am going off the basic understanding
that if a single part does NOT have the "LEGO" stamp on the plastic somewhere,
it is counterfeit.
Thank you in advance!

| This statement is false. There are plenty of legitimate parts that did not have
Lego on them.

tEoS,
I have found a lot of battle droid parts with no "LEGO" stamped on them. They
do have numbers stamped on them and a copyright "C" inside a circle.
Would you say they are legitimate? I just don't want to list them unless
I find a way to confirm.

| When there's a © stamped on a part, it's probably LEGO.
I seem to remember BrickLink had a Help page about identifying genuine LEGO parts,
or more to the point how difficult it is because the stamps aren't necessarily
present on all genuine LEGO parts, but I can't find it anymore.

If the parts have a copyright symbol, they are LEGO.
