Re-release / Originals

[bigalbi]

There appears to be very split opinion on the effect of re-re's on the value if original issue kits.

From what I have seen the re release kits do (short term) lower the value of original equipment. However they do recover. I think genuine collectors know that you can't replace the original stuff and therefore the values are only affected temporarily.

The flip side is that people who couldn't afford these great kits the first time round get a second chance. This should be embraced. The effects are only temporary on originals.

The hobby gets to continue, we all get what we want in the long run and this should be celebrated.

BTW. I finally have an Optima in the stable.
