Repops, copies and fakes
Gizmo:
Would rather have original over repop anyday
But would buy repop if part was hard to source or too expensive
But wouldent want to pay top dollar for repop
Or buy it as original & its fake
So in a nutshell if it finishes your build how you want it
Job done

I like the way Waza, the guy who has the other working Skyway hub press in Oz, advices about repop parts and he admits to selling repop Mongoose pads, grips and decals :idiot2:

Actually Waza has a license to sell them, he is also the most genuine and honest person you could meet and a massive wealth of information about all things old school.

No one is saying he hasn't. Just don't bitch about others doing it when you're doing it yourself, is all people are saying :daumenhoch:

So what you are saying is that it is not right to complain about poor quality repops if you produce fully licensed 100% correct and legal products. Surely he is entitled to his opinion just as you and all of the societies members are. What he does is no different to JDB, are you saying he and everyone else that makes repops should not criticize the poor quality ones or outright fakes?

Licensed, unlicensed....it's all re-pop, re-issue. It never came from the 70's, 80's or mid 90's. It might suit some peoples budget and others want the real deal.
My point was, and only point, when re-issue or re-pop items yourself, don't judge others for doing so.
(as per what I understand from reading that thread, he is not actually licensed from Mongoose to reproduce their items, correct me if I am wrong)
