[QUOTE="Cazza, post: 539291, member: 5725"] I despise repro and would never knowingly buy it or keep it in my collection. I would ALWAYS advise against it, for the many reasons that we all know already. HOWEVER, as above, who am I to dictate to others how to collect? £150 for a pop-up saber?!!! You can see why people buy repro stuff. There is a lot of 'Gatekeeping' in the SW communities, whether it's over-the-top repro hate or ridiculously severe anti-Kathleen/Disney sentiments. It's rather sad and anyone looking in from the outside must think it's all pretty unhinged and bizarre, especially with the real issues that have hit us all in 2020. The sheer hatred generated and fueled in the FB groups is astonishing. Some of the admins/mods on the groups are given god-like status and the sycophants worship the ground they walk on, lapping up everything they say without question. There are so many who just blindly follow, just so they can try to be part of the 'it' crowd. When they smell blood, It's often like a pack of wolves all going in for the kill... all over toys and films :roll: The worst thing about repro though, is the incredibly annoying use of the word 'Repo' instead. Boy, that gets right on my toot :lol: [/QUOTE]
