Space Invader ...inventory, by Deleted on Sept 8, 2014 16:03:00 GMT 1, Surely if they did keep records and gave authentification for pieces it will just encourage the resale of the pieces. Better too not then people out to make a quick buck will leave em alone and real fans can buy and keep for ever, simple. I have no problem myself. Will only buy from source and don't need coa as I know its real and that's all the counts After reading that Invasion Kit thread, I'm only buying from source too.
Seems like they're way too easy to fake, and without any authentication method they're kind of dead once they've reached a secondary owner's hands. I don't see why you can't perfectly fake an invasion kit (i.e. get the embossing/tiles right) without anyone ever being able to tell.
The idea of "fake bag = fake tiles, real bag = real tiles" seems off too; I can easily see someone buying an invasion kit for themselves, keeping the real thing, and then putting fake tiles in the real bag to resell.
Scammers have so much time on their hands.

Ha ha, that's one way of looking at it. But at least there are things to look out for if purchasing.

But at least there are things to look out for if purchasing. I really just don't see how you can ever be sure one is real if you don't buy it from source.
It seems too easy for a scammer to find the right tiles used (especially if they can find the static-free bags used; that seems like it would be harder). Eventually the quality of a fake will be identical to the real thing. Maybe it already is, for all we know.
They really should just keep a system of records, pretty simple to do and saves a lot of hassle (or I guess creates more for them, but helps fans out).
