[QUOTE="tobeshadow, post: 493167, member: 10643"] Let's back away from repro Star Wars for just a minute and look at this from a wider collecting perspective. If you own a classic car and refurbish it with modern made parts, you may be able to say you own that classic car but it is not complete and original, and owners of the same car with all original parts are certainly not going to measure your car the same as they would their own. This isn't an opinion, the modern parts might be better, or more importantly for some, cheaper, but what you have is fundamentally not an original complete example. If you want to buy repro for whatever reason, that's your decision, but it's not because it is complete 'in your eyes'. You've made a value judgement and decided you'd rather not spend out on original parts, that isn't right or wrong, just your decision. Satisfaction of the collector is one thing, but you can't change the definition of complete to suit any given situation. As Chris said, complete is a statement of fact [/QUOTE]
