Does anyone know where to get repro parts to repair Transformers? I have a Swoop with a broken beak that needs replacing. I looked into Transrepro.com but it doesn't look like the site has been updated since March of 2006. So I'm looking for another place/site for parts. I've also tried ebay but there were no listings for swoop parts. Any help would be much appreciated.

They have loods of parts and figures, and they're all original!

I wish there were a new location for QUALITY repro parts to go to.

Transrepro took care of that, at a DECENT price. Moreover, he let the collectors know exactly where his mold injection points were, also letting non-consumers know exactly how to tell (one of his) fakes from the authentic accessories.

(Wishing I'd had the cash to load up on his Skywarp missiles back in the day.)

And another thing: If someone new does go into this business, do us all a favor and DON'T SHOW OFF/BRAG/TALK ABOUT IT AT BOTCON! The guy responsible for Transrepros (not Transrepro)/Translabels was doing a brisk business until he went to BotCon. A week later, he's notifing his customers about a C&D order. Another (American) reproducer had the same problem after attending a G.I. Joe convention, despite not making a profit (his heads, helmets, etc. were sold at production cost). (I'm pretty sure making whole figures out of repro parts is a no-no too, but that's another story.)
