Shite!
Whereas I respect both of your opinions regrding the use of legit pictures as a the most obvious explanation for these they were simply the first pair i came across in about 20 pages of search results. Even though many are of the fakes that i listed above (noticed mainly from the laces) there are a suprising number of which appear legit. They are all using different pictures which again does not prove that they are the sellers own but it points in that direction.
I can totally respect that you guys have been doing this for years and provide a valuable service to us all in keeping us one step ahead of the fakers. However, I ask you, if they can make the shoe in the first place why do such indicators exist? In my humble opinion it is due to their lack of knowledge at the time of maufacture (even slight variations would not exempt them from copyright laws!) The evidence suggests (check out the worst fakes thread) that the shoes likeness improves as the fakers knowledge of what they should look like improves. Therefore, I personally believe that perfect copies of all the limited ranges are in circulation but currently selling as legit. Personally I would never buy a pair of trainers sold as legit without a receipt from a reputable retailer (and even that wouldn't be difficult to fake) I'll step down from the soap box now
