[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 517837, member: 8868"] I posted my findings on this last year in this thread... [url]https://starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32106&p=480872&hilit=figure+stands#p480872[/url] Here's what I posted again for ease. "The original Palitoy stands differ in three noticeable ways in comparison to the modern stands. The peg shape is different, the semi-circles on the underside rim are positioned differently and the plastic of the modern stands is of a far better quality. You can see the Palitoy ones have a rough, fine bubble like finish in spots. This is true of both the yellow Cantina and clear Death Star stands.

So being devoid of this circle isn't a clear indicator of originality. [/QUOTE]
