| FAKE NETS FOR LL Removable Limbs C3PO: Characteristics on fake nets:-Smaller arm holes -The circular outside edge line on the arm hole is not smooth as it should be (seems hand cut) -Wrong material, too glossy (look at fake1) -The rectangular inside cuts are hand made -The heat seal goes all the way to the top -Wrong heat seal mark This is how a LL Net must look like:  |

| Good spot, Ozio! Thanks for warning us. Is the pattern of the holes the same as on the Ledy net?  |

| Ozio, was this anyone in particular trying to sell or you just happened across one from a private buy? It is a dang shame that now these are being faked. I suppose it was a matter of time until they started in on the ledy line with repro crap.......all the more reason to buy from reliable sources. |

Is the pattern of the holes the same as on the Ledy net? I can't see your picture buddy but no, the pattern is totally different and it's pretty clear it was made with a blade by hand. - trappedtexan wrote:

| Great Info Ozio
I have noticed a couple of these going for high $$ recently which is a shame if they where fakes.
Thanks
