| someone  Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 3,522 Location: Pittsburgh, PA | I think repro parts are great in general. No one likes having to pay through the roof for things that Hasbro themselves should already offer. However I do want to offer a word of warning. It seems that some others in the past have gotten in legal trouble for this sort of thing. So just tread carefully. One site that does this sort of thing is: http://www.brokenarrowtoys.com/cart/ He has basically listed his parts with obscure names to try to avoid any infringement - sort of like how the KO WST Dinobots are called things like Flamethrower. |

Some of the parts are cast on demand. Want ListAlso when paying with Paypal....Please put your forum name and the items you want in the notes section. That makes it easier for me to contact you if I need to. And don't forget to include shipping. Feedback For Sale |

| someone Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 3,522 Location: Pittsburgh, PA | Oh yeah one other thing. I am not really sure what to think of it but I am just mentioning it. Some other makers deliberately cast their parts in a shade different from the original just so that it can be differentiated by someone who is really concerned about authentic vs. repro. Personally I would think that if the repro part is of good quality this isn't as big of a deal, but I am not really a completist either. |

| TF Art Lad  Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 4,131 Location: Nottingham, England Collection Count: 1. I have one collection. | I've always liked the idea of generic looking weapons. The Chromedome gun's a good start, but particular favourites of mine include guns from bases that work well as hand-held weapons - examples include the laser machine gun from the Micromaster Battlefield HQ, Skyhopper's nose gun, and the machine gun from Groundshaker. Things like that look good with most figs, and the standardised pegs make them nicely interchangeable.

| Quintesson  Join Date: Jun 2004 Posts: 665 | I'm not interested in the parts you have now (though I would have been interested in the Omega Supreme clips a few months ago) but thank you so much for offering these. It's good to finally see someone do these since transrepro is no more. I hope you continue this and expand your products too. I think heads would be a big hit for the customizers here.  |
