Hi Fellas
Been out of the game for a while, but I recently bought a boxed complete at at for very cheap :) I know the guns are repro, but wondered if there was anything else on it which could be repro.
Is there a list about which lists all the repro parts available for vintage vehicles? I am not into repro at all really and only have one or two repro bits in my collection but would like to know what to watch out for in the future.
Any advice would be much appreciated and if anyone knows where to get hold of original at at chin guns, send me a message :D
 
AT-At bulb cover
Falcon training ball & arm
Speeder bike flaps(fakes float), gun & arms
ATST top gun
Snowspeeder harpoon & block
Imperial troop transporter battery cover
Y-wing front guns, top gun & bomb
X-wing wing guns (fakes just sink)
 
What a bummer that there are so many parts around. Most of my collection has been sourced from ebay over the last 20 years and I thought most of the repro stuff was with fiqures weapons. Good to know what to look out for in the future though as there are still one or two bxed vehicles on my list :)
 
Not only do you have to watch out for repros...but the vehicles that were re-released by Kenner/Hasbro for the new line used existing molds. Some that come to mind

speeder bike
X-wing
Tie fighter
Landspeeder
Tatooine Skiff
A-Wing
B-Wing
Falcon
AT-AT
AT-ST
Imperial Shuttle

These ships and vehicles used the same parts as the originals. Many are different in color.....but parts swaps and replacement are happening.
 
Thanks for that info chaps. I'm glad I only have a couple of boxed items left to collect :) Ill be extra carefull on the bay, but will probably end up getting them on here just to be sure everything is 100% original :wink:
