[QUOTE="Capetown, post: 542038, member: 538"] Hey guys, Bought a Cantina playset and made the beginner's mistake of not asking for more pictures and ignoring several (in hindsight) glaring red flags. The seller assured me that everything was original, including the cardboard insert (in which I was especially interested). It wasn't. The guy said that he had bought the playset in the nineties and has been the pride in his collection for years. I'm inclined to believe him as he seems a nice guy and is willing to take back the playset without any qualms, but there's possibly a Darren Orme shaped hole in his story. The insert looks like it's one of Darren Orme's repro's at least, from the time he didn't mark them yet. Do you guys agree? And do you know if Darren was active on ebay in the nineties? If he wasn't, my guy either has a faulty memory or is full of it.
