I'll never understand why someone would be $100 plus for a knock off, even if you get a "box and form insert" and it's "minty fresh".
You can go on ebay and get an official metroplex with rubber wheels and shiny unscratched chrome with all his pieces for $100 which is what I did.
Well, I guess I CAN understand. Maybe someone just likes to display the boxes, or they demand a super white clean and new toy for display. I guess I"m a different collector. I'd rather have a slightly (and only slightly) dirtied original metroplex then to have some brand new knock off version, same mold or not, whatever.
For some reason I went and spent $90 on an original sky lynx that was pretty darn white, good stickers, working electronics, and tight joints, when I could have waited awhile for that reissue to come out. Why don't I wait? I think because I wanted an original, just feels.. more special or something
. THough I probably could be a bit more "rough" with the reissues and knock offs, compared to the amount of time i spend transforming sky lynx
