I wish all the repro megos...

[Zemo]

I just checked in on this thread since I posted it. Strir things up I guess is side affect of posting your opinion. What I wasn't clear about was repro accesories, They are great.
I'm talking about the figures themselves. Do a Mego star trek search on ebay and over 50% of the items are repro. And I'm also talking about repros that were made by mego. I think repros of The characters that they didn't make are great. The other ones just devalue the originals.

LOL, funny drunk pic!

I'm VERY happy with my EMCE Star Trek and POTA. All of 'em looks much better!

I collect 'em all with original Megos in my collection.

I can't wait to get the last EMCE Star Trek 4 set of Sulu and The Gorn packages coming out soon!

I'm pro-repro myself. I want to start building figures for my son, and I don't want to use my original bodies. Plus I just like the Mego style and will buy any that come along until they are so mainstream that there are too many around...which shouldn't be for a really long time. Plus I play with my figures alot, and will do so more often when my son is old enough to play, so the more characters the merrier.

And you can live in both worlds, too. I have all of my T1s that are all original. Then I have the T2s that I've been collecting to do some custom things with things like costumes and such. Then I have the not so good WGSHs that I've fixed up. Some boots and such are repros. That I have given to my kids to play with. They get a complete figure and actually get to play with the "same" toys that I had as a kid. And that is where my joy of keeping the T1 museum pieces comes in. I can show my kids those without fear that they will be pulled out and played with when I'm not looking. My kids got to open their own EMCE Kirk and Kilngon on Xmas. Yeah!

For the record though I do agree that the repro pieces should be stamped or marked though so that confusion won't set in. I have a few junk boxes with pieces that I don't know if they are or aren't and that does get annoying. I do know to look for the "DM" on Doc's stuff.

And I smell a post that was designed to stir things up. If you start a post like this...you're going to hear both sides. If you don't like REPOS...it's real simple...DON'T BUY them!! But why would you want to deny the rest of us that want them...the chance to own them?

AMEN! (and pass the biscuits)

I'm not a big fan of repro items ... but at the same time I have a friend who is just happy to get a figure in his price range. it's a give and take type of thing ... like with any hobby really.

Really mego and the repros we have to put up with is nothing compaired to other hobbies ... so I'm not too angry at repros in the mego world because I know it could be much worse.

I smell an unkind statement directed against someone you happen to disagree with.

I own a complete collection of CTVT Super Knights and Robin Hoods. I would simply not have the funds for the originals, so I'm glad the repros exist.

I love my 14.99 Romulan. Saved me a TON of money.

I'm gonna quote that ^^^
as being proof positive REPROS ARE INDESPENSIBLE to this hobby...

Try to keep my cool.

And not look at this thread ever again

[HardyGirl]

I love the repros! Like I could have afforded the Romulan and the Andorian on Ebay or a toy show. And like I've maintain, they're still Megos. Paul just breathed life into the old concept.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I have to say I am pretty happy with many of my repros...figures I probably couldn't have afforded, but still nice to look at.
