Discussion?
Repaints!
What are your feelings about repaints? Are you for/against/ambivalent?
Best repaints examples? Worst?
Lets talk about BotCon/TFSS/TFCC repaints too.
What makes these desirable? Is it the rarity?
Will you go for Takara’s new “Premium Finish” line?
Takara historically has been known for better paint jobs on their figures, does this mean we can now get in on that action again but we’ll now be paying more for it?
