This is a good thing! It won't chance the world, but it will make RS a better place.

Add reseals into the bucket too. I think it would make sense to have the same policy across all 3 forums.

I dont think reseals belong in the same group as repro stuff.
I know budget collectors that collect them because they display like a moc, but are almost as cheap as the mint loose figure + Card.
I personally don't collect them, but i have nothing against them as long as they are created to try to fool someone.
I rather see no trading/selling U-graded figures added to the line.

Agreed
Reseals are collected as just that,they are not faked or anything. TT figures are fake, no matter what. At least with a cut bubble reseal you get original card,bubble and glue on the card
The same cannot be said about TT figures. We dont even know if bubbles are correct, and in some cases repro weapons could have been used.I think its a great step in the right direction

Reseals are a totally different thing.
Reseals have been a part of the hobby as long as I can remember (in fact in the mid 90s I made a tri-logo Anakin one using the bubble from a hole punch!) so I don't have any malice towards them. But I can see where the lines becomes grey with ones such as the 21 back Fett that was recently refused by AFA which fooled the buyer. They need to be 'obvious' reseals IMO to not be dodgy.

True
TT are techincally reseals in some sense...though 100% designed and sold to fool the buyer :evil:

Rebelscum have banned reseals given the wording in the rules section. Personally I would see the sale
of both reseals and Tonis on here given full disclosure. But then that makes the ruling different to
reblscum which would cause confusion.

Great news!
I dont believe reseals should come under the same bracket. They are totally different. If a resealed Palitoy 30 Back Fett came up for example why would you ban that?

In my opinion banning reseals is wrong - as Stef says, they are often genuinly put together as a cheap alternative. For me if you are declaring a re-seal then there is nothing wronf with that at all. If you aren't declaring it then it should be banned - but how will people know if you don't declare it !
