[QUOTE="Dannywhiteley, post: 493395, member: 6547"] It's exactly the same as saying, I can't afford every boxed item or foreign carded figure but I want them all so I'm just going to buy repro for my whole collection and lie to myself. You might as well just have a photo of said item as essentially that's all it is. No historical context, no value, not impressive at all. However in this modern age of immediate gratification, everyone is entitled to a full and complete collection, right, regardless of consequences? A better car analogy is those horrible kit cars from the 80's where you have what appears to be a Lamborghini Countach but underneath the cracked fibre glass it's just a tatty 1.4 escort. In all honesty you end up just looking like a bit of a prick. [/QUOTE]
