Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but any experience here buying ARAH on repo cards? I'm not willing to pay what is asked for actual MOC and am trying to be zero emissions for my collection...only buy what I make in selling off other items...with minor exceptions.
Repo cards look good on ebay, but not sure how good they typically are in hand. Somewhat related...if anyone knows any artists who could do a Hector Garrido style piece on commission, hit me up. Trying to put something together for a military retirement gift. Last edited by Short; 04-11-2021 at 10:59 PM.. |

The ones I have are really good, just look for reputable sellers on Ebay. Put it in a Protech Star Case and you're good to go.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'm looking at 150 best case for a FSS Footloose or paying roughly the same for two ARAH on repo cards...FSS is a better sculpt, but maybe not 75 dollars better.

What are you looking to have painted?
And as an afterthought, go with those ARAH Footloose if you can. Be dilligent though, after all, it was a loose figure (and all that may imply) before being recarded. Ive seen figures resealed that I wouldn't want to display loose.

I love my repro carded figures - they look 100% perfect to me. Got them from Beggars Canyon and from what I see they are cheaper than anything on ebay.
I've had a Baroness, Snow Serpent and CG for 4+ years and the part I glued is slightly yellow despite using their recommended glue (might have seen the recommendation in a forum post or on their site I don't recall) BUT it's not bad at all and I've seen worse on real cards. I'm not in this for the authenticity or the collectible value, I just really love the art and the toys. And I do appreciate quality even on things like the type of material the card back is made from and the vibrancy and sheen of the ink and coating used. I can't help but pay attention to that kind of thing.

I'm looking to have the FLAGG box art done with a different jet taking the place of the Sky Striker and the hull number changed.
