Because used toy sellers masquerading as collectors/fans want to you. They don't care that many people won't bother to restore some vehicles and eventually incomplete GI JOE toys will wind up the landfills. As long as they can sell old toys at high prices right now. They'll hide behind the repros passed off as originals with claims that reproductions are ripping people off and hurting new collectors, but that's sour grapes because these "purists" are often the ones who want to rip people off.
And there's also anal retentive nerds who somehow prize decades old pieces of plastic as special compared to a reproduction. Nitpicking purists? In toy collecting? Who'd have thought that? |
