[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 505440, member: 2"] One common complaint I've seen about these is collectors saying Hasbro are "cashing in". I think that's a bit rich coming from people who are selling toys that originally cost £1.59 for hundreds or thousands of pounds on the secondary market, of which Kenner/Hasbro sees nothing. They own the IP to this line, they can do whatever they want with it. They have more right to earn money from Star Wars products than collectors do. Sorry, that's a legal fact. I often see the same response when rare records are reissued - some collectors and dealers feel the value of their original copy will be hit by a reissue, and they have more right to own an expensive second hand copy than the original artist or record label does to make money from their own work. That is just bullshit to me. I've just ordered a set out of curiosity (thanks for the link Palifan) I'm keen to see what they look like in hand, and for under a tenner each I don't think that's too bad. [/QUOTE]
