[QUOTE="tobeshadow, post: 493204, member: 10643"] I can only speak for myself here, but I don't look down on people who buy repro. I resent the fact that their eagerness to collect destroys something I've loved for a long time. If you truly love collecting these old toys, there shouldn't be a time frame. There are always going to be new collectors who get duped, and that sucks. I think that if you seriously collect anything, you have to read as much as you can to educate yourself and the modern internet is truly great for this. I think the more worrying trait is collectors who knowingly buy repro and don't care. This coupled with the ever better forgeries you mentioned only makes things worse. I think it's also the reason a lot of collectors are dropping such huge sums for tiny weapons and accessories, they feel it's now or never, and are honestly just so sick and tired of the endless fakes that they will pay any cost to get what they want.
