Bootleg Questions

[toyman941]

I'm nearing the end of my loose collection, but I have some new interests. I have been looking at the Polish bootlegs but I would need to read up on the subject before pulling the trigger.

I'm thinking about buying one, but I don't know what to look for or what the going rates are.

Also, are there any other country bootlegs?

Thanks in advance
Kevin

I have no idea about prices but there are some seriously cool items out there http://www.theouterrealmsw.com/

I have seen a couple of these with hongkong on them.

I'm not sure this is real or not. Polish bootlegs means, from Poland with no hongkong COO , right. Maybe, I don't really know.

The hong Kong text is not a problem , the figures are copies or recasts of the original figures including copyright information . Jakub has some more information on polish bootlegs http://www.starwarsy.pl/opowiadania/podroby_eng.htm
And there's a nice overview of polish and European bootlegs on theswca http://theswca.com/images-speci/polishboots/
