Hey, guess what?

You fail on every front.

Looks like this "friendship" is over before it began.

"I'm gonna quote that ^^^

Try to keep my cool.

And not look at this thread ever again "

You were saying?

I lied

Not a big fan of reproductions of original Megos...but I am a big fan of customs.

I tend to incorporate some original Mego into my customs...like when Dave makes them for me...I usually bypass the CTV bodies, and send him original Mego bodies...that way I feel the custom is truly a Mego.

Having said that...I have nothing against repro figures...since I'm kinda broke right now...and I sold my original Romulan sometime ago...I might get me a repro one, just to ease the pain...lol.

[Hector]

And Lord knows the originals' list price must NEVER NEVER NEVER dip!

It is statements like that which BOGGLE my mind.

Sorry, if your toys are losing their monetary value in order to allow people
to obtain toys that they want to have fun playing with or displaying.

Come ON, man.

Me likey repros. Me Conan would be incomplete without Doc Mego sword, scabbard and yellow belt. He's very pretty that way, and still worth a pretty penny.

Hobob's post on the previous page is quite possibly the best commentary on this topic I've ever come across.

All right! Another post troll! It has been awhile since we had one on here.

Wow---we haven't had a real live troll on the board in a while.

I was just thinking the same thing the other day, Hue. The boards have been very peaceful for quite awhile. It's been really nice.

You guys should please take a deep breath and move on. We are not all going to agree on this topic.

If you have an opinion about toys popular or not, it should be welcome here. This debate has gone round and round so it's not the first time. There are those who worship repros and those who despise them. I actually enjoy my Ralph and Khan figure. However, I did see the value of my Romulan and several others drop like a rock. And I understand why, supply and demand. Those who would settle for a reproduction will. Those who will not, no longer have to compete in the open market for those who do. Therefore the price is not driven upward as much and lessening the value. I didn't pay $2000 each for my SI's because that would have been insane in my world. But I did pay. just not what they were going for before the repros. And that was a positive effect. I did pay like $20 for the Ralph and the Khan. However, I do think $300 for a Ralph is bit like redistribution of wealth. We'll take this value of a Romulan and flood the market like an ant colony, then make few repros of a figure thus directing the value from an original rare Mego to a newly created collectble. It's not age that creates value but popularity times supply and demand.

Other than that, I'm ok with it. And no bully around here will ever prevent me from expressing my opinion. I just care not to cause problems on the issue. It is a round and round debate. And I think Paul and David are great people. I'd invite them out for a beer any old time. That's what it's all about. You don't have to agree on all things all the time.

I'm just happy to have a collection of rare figures that others can only get through reproduction. It was fun acquiring them, just like a treasure hunt.

The EMCE Khan is NOT a repro, which makes it super cool.
