[QUOTE="tobeshadow, post: 493187, member: 10643"] Cars of course by their nature require a lot more changes than a vintage figure ever will. Members of classic car clubs are fastidious in changing parts out for genuine old stock, the goal is to keep everything as original as is possible. I concede this was a poor parallel, my apologies. With loose Star Wars though, I think there is a consideration to be made for two factors, Condition and State of Completion. If you have for example a Han Solo Bespin figure with his original vintage weapon, then that figure is complete, regardless of any paint that may have worn off the figure. He is however, on a Condition level, imperfect. Same as a vintage book. If it has all the pages, but the cover is beaten, the book is still complete but imperfect. If it is missing a page, it isn't complete. If the page has been photocopied from another copy and stuck in, the text itself may be complete, but it's presented form is not. For me, completion and condition are not the same thing. [/QUOTE]
