[QUOTE="_Lee_, post: 463401, member: 418"] I wouldn't say 'fake' but there are a few Ponce's around who seem to think they have the right to 'Lord it up' so to speak. They think if they throw money away like confetti then it gives them that right. Another thing is where they seem to think another collector isn't a real collector of any particular line unless they own a full complete set of figures or whatever. I've heard that mentioned a few times over the years, even from a collector who looked down on another because he didn't have a moc set. However the collector being judged knew 100 times more than the collector judging him. It makes him look a tube .Things like this are never forgotten and will affect someone's ability to make good contacts and also give him a bad name in the hobby and they will never recover from that. I'm afraid that because the market is now saturated with Star Wars, it isn't the toys that appeal anymore. Its the props, replicas, autographs and general ephemera that are taking over. [/QUOTE]
