Apologies if this has already been covered, we knew that it would only be a matter of time before he got to these but our good friend Replicator Boxes has started doing the card playset parts! His stamp on these things is not enough, I could easily buy one of these and distress it just enough to remove the stamp, add a small amount of wear and flip for twice maybe three times what they cost to buy. I give it less than a year before he starts churning out Palitoy Death Stars and Cloud City playsets!

Sorry if there is an existing thread, couldn't find it!
 
Yep! For ****s sake! :twisted: :evil: :roll:

BTW - there is a thread here - http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21853 :)
 
It may be time to buy these and then file claims for them being repro items. If ebay tell us to destroy them and refund us he can't sustain it and surely ebay will cancel his account?
 
I wonder if gentle giants legal team know (or care) about these repros. Those guys seem like true fans (and businessmen) but they also own the licence from lucasfilm/disney on vintage replicas.....I work in licensing and from my perspective replicator boxes are impinging on gentle giants licence agreement. This might be a better approach, anyone know anyone connected to gentle giant. Someone must know someone who moderates one of the big star wars sites, jedinews etc..they would probably have the contacts. Just a thought
 
Well it looks like this will never end. I'm sure he's checking this site and loving every minute of it, we're probably helping with his sales by pointing his listings out.

Oh well, karma can be a bitch! :D
