[QUOTE="_Lee_, post: 494131, member: 418"] A few years back I posted a thread about people ripping apart vintage vehicles etc just to sell as spares. Decided to have a look and see how frequent it is now and it seems to be ten times worse. Some collectors would just love to own the vehicles/ships in any way, shape or form and this is further restricting people. I understand the odd one here and there, but AT-AT legs??? falcon bottom shell??? Now the thread I posted the other year got a little heated but is it becoming too much?? Are the people doing this not destroying what there is left in the hobby??? As I said before, it was commonplace to do it now and again but it seems some people are actually destroying these for profit and it is happening at an alarming rate. I myself like to buy my ships as complete boxed and always look for signs of ships being taken apart etc- but that's just me. One collectors junk could be someone elses centrepiece, so why destroy these toys?? Some collectors can live without a canopy or another part and it also takes away the history of it as it has been altered from its previous state. Lee [/QUOTE]
