I'm simply supporting an earlier comment that complete is a statement of fact when it comes to Star Wars, it isn't open for interpretation. We know which toys were released and what each toy came with, essentially what the complete form looked like. You either have the figure/vehicle/play-set...

Cars of course by their nature require a lot more changes than a vintage figure ever will. Members of classic car clubs are fastidious in changing parts out for genuine old stock, the goal is to keep everything as original as is possible. I concede this was a poor parallel, my apologies...

Complete means having the necessary/appropriate parts. You are trying to change a defintion that isn't changeable. A vintage figure with the right vintage weapon/accessory is complete. A vintage figure with a repro weapon is not. You can write 'complete' next to it but that is a misuse of...

Hi all, my first proper post since joining (apologies if I posted in the wrong section!) so thought I'd keep this one light while I work out how to get some good collection pics up for you all. I'm sure these have cropped up many times in posts, this is just my personal account of them. The...
