Episode 13: REPRO Part 1
from Five Idiots Talking Toys | Star Wars, LEGO & More · host FITT | Star Wars
On this controversial topic... We say NO to repro! The Idiots are smart when it comes to Star Wars Repro Accessories and we're here in Part 1 to share the tips, tricks and the signs to look for when trying to spot a reproduction blaster, cane, staff, helmet, cape, poncho, belt, or lightsaber. Some people do buy and sell repro parts for vintage Star Wars, and we do understand why that could be attractive to some. We're purist collectors and prefer not to, so being able to spot and weed out the modern replacements is an important skill in this hobby. You will often find the the repro sellers referring to them as "custom", "reproduction" or "replacement". Listen to Idiots share our experiences and knowledge on this very divisive and heated topic! ~ Tune in for Part 2 coming soon.
