Hi,

further to edds post on the squared off wicket hood I thought I would chime in with my curious issues. I have two tri logo wickets. One is a clipper and the other isn't. I've had the non clipper for some time and ive always been annoyed with a circular indentation towards the top right. I happened to be admiring my clipper variant in all in wonderfulness the other day and was frankly bowled over to find the almost exact same mark in almost the exact same place. Does anyone else have a tri logo wicket with the same mark?

Iain currently has a Trilogo wicket for sale in the classifieds with the same mark visible on the reverse:

I also had one too so I guess a batch of cards picked up this mark somehow when they were produced.

I noticed that Joe - and thought I'd seen it elsewhere - hence I took a picture :D

Yes, I have a some Tri logo's that have that circle dent. Looks like a lady with high heels stepped on the cards. But I am 1000% shure that is done in the factory, because my figures came straight out of a factory shippingbox. And not only Wicket, I have a Imperial Gunner and an EV9D9 that has the same dent.

On the old, palitoy factory clips it shows the card being set in the correct position by metal pegs.

Could it be that these cards have pressed on one of those pegs somehow, while being put together.

So mis-aligned to start with, pressure put on it. Then re-aligned before the bubble was attached.

See pics showing these pegs

Interesting, it's just both of mine have been mis-aligned in the exact same place!
