Just see this on Darren's page as well - right place for it in my opinion - I know they guy is a member on here but much like the repro boxes, I don't understand why there is love for these sort of tutorials - they are open for abuse by the more unscrupulous and are an invitation to scammers

I have to say I dont bother with repro but can see some people see it as a cheap way to do a collection and it doesnt bother em .What I think he should do is mark the boxes on the base saying there repros before ebays flooded with em and some ones stung.

Guys,
I have to agree with Jabba Wokkie here but have more to add. Personally ive bought a few repro inserts from the guy for my 'special buy' items that are missing they do the job. I also bought a 12 back display header which i plan on getting autographed as it mixes my love of toys and autographs. I plan on getting the usual suspects like prowse,baker etc and even have people in mind for the tougher ones.
Im not saying what the guy is doing is right, but reporting him left,right and center wont work. If that was the case, repro moc makers would have got cease and desist letters from LF years ago and that hasnt happened. I do think his stuff is overpriced aswell and god knows what his costs are. He has made some effort to mark these but more needs to be done. Perhaps invite him onto SWFUK cast' for an interview and hear views from both sides.
Peace
Lee

I would love to have him on the podcast for a chat. Fully impartial reasonably balanced debate. I can't see him doing that though as he has nothing to gain and loads to loose.
Be careful with Mr Prowse as well if your getting autographs. He may look like a elderly gent but he can strip a wallet bare from 40 yards if you don't watch him.

At the recent SW Family Fun day, our Barry X Pack got one back fore the SWFUKers :wink: Mr X Pack was that busy taking photos of cosplay outside in the Queue, he missed the arrival of Lord Vader, and as the mighty one shuffled past Barry nearly knocked him on his arse....and still didn't notice :lol: he nearly floored Lord Vader
Nice one Barry

Do you remember when wireless meant something else? Take yourself back to those early technology days.
There you are, lying on your bed with your best mate, listening to Radio Luxembourg. Waiting for the latest top 30 charts to come on so you could record the tracks on that Tandy's bought tape recorder. trying to stop the recorder at the opportune time to cram as much music as possible onto your c90, hoping the DJ didn't interrupt the ending.
Well.. that tape is like a podcast. A medium you can take anywhere with you. But rather than trying to shove your cassette player into your satchell and hope it doesn't get used for a goalpost at lunchtime, you can use your phone, computer, or even corneal implant* to play the podcast back at anytime you wish.

Sounds cosy, single bed I'd assume. We're you under the covers? Clothed?

Have you ever seen the show the hustle? It was like that, basically mr Prowse scammed Ben of his entire life savings in one movement, Ben lost everything, couldn't pay his bills or mortgage, water, electricity, gas, phone line, all cut off, he was living in darkness eating cold baked beans straight from the tin.its a tragic tale of woe, how a nice guy can be taken advantage of so badly. His wife had enough and left him and funnily enough run off with a man who had breathing difficulties just like Lord Vader. He's had a hard time so to go easy if you see Ben.
