It's like some people are mad because they are selling new stuff at the "collector's" prices of used (and gradually decaying) kiddie toys from 25 years ago.
And i lack sympathy for Hasbro, because they are no longer making o-ring releases...even the Collector's Club barely has this year. As far they are concerned, there's no market for vintage style Cobra troopers. If there is, why aren't they making them?
I agree with you. Who cares if someone is making these and selling them. They look really cool. If someone wants to sell these cheap by the hundreds i'll buy them. I think its fine as long as they say these are reproductions or made in 2009. Hasbro has already said they won't ever make o ring figures again.
