I don't think there is a difference in the actual seat itself, just that one had a Lightning bolt transfer and one did'nt :-\.

Post by: hunterdubber on June 13, 2012, 11:24 PM: I asked this a couple of years ago ::)

but the general concensus from replies on here was, that they're not being reproduced and they are all old stock from the Far east ::) :)

I'm not sure that the conspiracy site is a good reference point for fakes; too many ~~arseholes~~ opinions and not enough facts imho :D.

I bought one of the black ones from HK about 5 years ago. I compared it with an original 80's one and it was exactly the same. If mine was a repop, they must have used the original moulds. :-\

I don't know if there's a new batch of seats knocking about - if Babelovely etc. is involved, I'd avoid like the plague...
