When they start using similar coloured plastics and manufacturing methods, it will get interesting. Great video, thanks mate.

I always use The Imperial Gunnery as a reference. Over the years, after buying a lot of vintage star wars figures and weapons I became more and more expert on repro weapons. After so many research you learn to make the difference. Sometimes the feeling of the material says enough about repro or authentic. I've sold all repro weapons as repro weapons to keep the franchise clean and authentic. But man, these repro weapons become better and better. I am a purist but I am also aware that prices of vintage weapons go sky high.
