[ravrick]

Hi,
I have had this case and pin for a few years, I think it is ok but would appreicate any forum experts opinions as I have never had the oppotunity to compare it next to another case.
Cheers,
Rick

I don't know about the pin, but the case is original.

The pin is bad and I´m not keen on the case either...

It looks the same set to me but amazingly this bad set is now being sold on Ebay in UK as a genuine set by someone with the same user name that is used for WAF.

I hope nobody here is going to get stung.
If it's the same seller as WAF member, that is very poor form

Screen capture for the record. (Deleted by mod since listing pulled)

It appears that the situation has been resolved in regards to the ebay listing.

Here is an example of an original case posted in 2006

Nice case, the mini is a fake though.

I think the pin is a copy too.

I am moving this thread to cases for review and comment. I would like to see further specific explanation on why the case is bad before moderation determines if an infraction is warranted or not for the thread starter.

He said he thought the case was good, others said the case was bad, but did not explain why the case is bad. We could leave it like it is now except for the fact it was listed on ebay for sale--since removed from sale by the poster.

Since there are so many variations for a period blockade breaker case (I think at least 7 but not sure), we would like to address this specific case before we proceed.
