A genuine question as I just can't see how any genuine fan/collector cansupport anything that devalues or damages something they love and some may say it's just a weapon or a box but where do you draw the line? If everybody thought that way surely vintage would have little if no value at all. Eventually in the future will we even be able to distinguish real from repro? :-( I'm sure this has been discussed many times and I apologise if I bore people but I am fairly new to these forums here's my opinion and little background
I am 100% against repro in any form weapons boxes capes etc it really winds me up I had my collection stolen many years ago and haven't had the funds to replace it I never thought I could I don't have the funds like some people I brought my kids up on my own for 7 years I'm a career long story ;-) however i nearly gave up but eventually started collecting again a little while ago by chance that I came into a small bag of figures I could have simply bought repro stuff for next to nothing to replace my items but decided to struggle by with what I have to build it back up which I have I will post photos sometime on the showcase or here to see how far I've come I can't tell you what it means I feel like a kid again but I see collections getting devalued and eventually nobody knowing what's repro and what isn't totally defeats the object of this hobby/love sorry about the rant but it totally winds me up :evil:
Thoughts please?
