[QUOTE="Robstyley, post: 539299, member: 6009"] That’s interesting. It exposes some quite shocking, not even shocking but unpleasant, dickhead behaviour. And some of it I’d take with a pinch of salt to be honest. It sounds like grown men arguing and being arseholes about mass produced little pieces of plastic. In any hobby people get passionate and can take things very seriously. It’s crazy really when you think how abusive people can get about old toys. I don’t think this is even about what your opinion is, it’s about people trying to push their opinion and will on others and being judgemental. I don’t like reproduction accessories or own any fake MOC’s, that’s my choice. In my loose figure cabinet it’s all legit. But a few figures have the wrong or no accessory because I won’t pay £100+ for one or have a repro. In my other cabinet two Stormtroopers have modern blasters, a Han has a snapped AT-AT Driver rifle made into a blaster, a Boba Fett has a G.I Joe gun that looks like it should be Boba Fetts blaster..! It’s my collection, I can do as I please and I like a bit of different stuff going on. If someone wants repro, even if I don’t like it or agree with it it’s their choice. I’ve been quite vocal in the past about repros and repainting figures etc but the hobby has changed and the influx of collectors and lack of supply can only inevitably result in people finding ways to meet that demand. Maybe we do need to chill out a bit. [/QUOTE]
