[QUOTE="Cornish_jedi, post: 493055, member: 9743"] Personally I understand repro weapons and accessories, and the desire for collectors to complete their figures on a budget. The supply, and now cost, for the orginals has clearly spurred the demand for reproduction items. My real concern is when they are passed off as genuine orginal items and damage this has on the hobby, especially as these reproduction weapons are improving in quality all the time. I enjoy the hunt for pieces I don't have or really would like and if I can't find it or afford what's available then I have keep looking or saving. If reproduction items were marketed responsibly with them clearly being identifiable as new items (completely different colour or marking) then I think would be great idea. This 'might' even curb the demand and price for orginal accessories. Unfortunately the caveat to this is we would probably be lining the pockets of the people also making items that look as genuine as possible. I always have enjoyed discovering new bits and hunting for them, and want the whole community to be able to do this in same way without unnecessary trepidation. Say No To Repro.... in my opinion MTFBWU [/QUOTE]
