Where do people get their junkers?

I'm guessing mostly it's from big ebay lots? Or because you bought a poor condition toy for parts?

Or are they your own toys battered and worn and replaced with reissues or new purchases?
Yes, yes and yes. Also from Demonac who seems to own an infinite supply of them.


Take for instance my Prowl. The toy is split in two at his waist, the 'glass' of his rear window is gone, the roof of the car is separate from the bonnet, several stickers are missing, one wing is broken off, and the other has been glued back on.
That's a junker man. I have a Prowl in only slightly better condition and mine's a junker.

I assume if you're buying ebay lots or toys for parts it's easy to part with them, but do others still feel attached to the older broken toys that survived from their childhood? Or is out with the old and in with the reissue?
IMO original is always better than reissue but condition counts for a lot.
