With all the recarding, is it safe to buy vintage carded Joe's? This is like KOs for the Transformers Masterpiece line. Also, I have never seen a recarded piece in person, how do you determine vintage/offical from new/recarded?

The repros look fine from afar, but don't have that vintage smell, typically does not have the waffle seal and most reputable repros have a disclaimer on the back indicating it's reproduction.

You can tell in hand. The vintage has a "smell" and the colors and graphics are super crisp. The bubble seal has a waffle-like seal around it.

Are the figures used on repacks very clean/mint, complete? Is it worth buying or do it yourself over real vintage, besides the price? Any chance Hasbro will reissue pieces, as being done with Transformers?
