[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 550244, member: 2"] Hear me out before the pitchforks come out please 😆 My older boy loves Star Wars and now the figures, it started off with LEGO but I've given him a couple of dozen vintage figures over the last year which he loves. But they were all rough spares with no accessories (partly because they were small and I was worried he would eat them.) But now he's 4 and a half, he saw my complete figures and really wanted the blasters for some of his figures. There's no way I'm giving him £25+ accessories to play with (lose) and he wouldn't accept my suggestion of using some of the many LEGO blasters we already have! So today I have just bought him a handful of repro blasters from eBay. Although I bought the grey plastic ones so they should never be confused with the real things, I still feel bad about it. But you get to a point in life where pleasing your son becomes more important than keeping the collecting community happy, I guess. So what have you all done in similar situations - thrown caution to the wind and given your four year old £200 worth of 1cm plastic things? Stood your ground and said no?! [/QUOTE]
