It is easier to determine if you're using repro labels than repro parts. Take for example vintage Star Wars action figures. It is sometimes difficult for me to determine out of the action figures weapons that I own which are vintage and which are newer reproductions. Obviously the vintage will be worth something where as the repro's will be next to worthless.
    I agree with this to an extent. I didn't proceed with an order for reproduction dinobot swords because I only really want genuine versions. Having said that... I did replace all of the broken and small smoke stacks on my G1 prime moulds with Ages3andup reproduction stacks.

    I've never actually used any 'reprolabels', but I'm not against them in theory - I've bought plenty of second-hand G1 toys from people who seem to have had no idea how to read a sticker application chart and it would be theoretically nice to have stickers in the right places. On the other hand I'm 100% against 'repro parts' and 'repro (KO) toys' and would never buy one of either of these bootleg 'products' - all they do is pollute the pond of existing Transformers with substandard fakes and parts of fakes.

    Awesome timing for the Pretender Starscream. I need his stickers as I just finished restoring the toy.

    I like reprolabels - You won't believe how much life they bring back to on an old beaten up G1 toy. It really contributes to improving something that looks like crap into something that one would be proud to display. They are also a god send for toy restoration.

    There is nothing that makes me happier than giving a toy regarded as a junker some new life.

    I have them on most of my G1 transformers, as i feel that i know i will nver sell any of my transformers so its ok. Applying repolabels gives life back to worn out looking figures and makes them look new again, so for that reason i am for them

    Getting on for four months waiting for my Reprolabels order. I have pretty well given up. Annoys me to all hell because they seem to be the only place with Roadbuster labels

    I have just made a small order with Reprolabels to see how it goes. I have not ordered anything for almost a year but I have made at least a dozen orders with them before and only once was there a big delay but nothing like yours, Lordy.

    Have you emailed both addresses? I emailed one address a few times (Without checking... info@reprolabels.com) and only got an answer when I emailed someone else (Again, without checking... delta@reprolabels.com) when I was finally answered it said "sorry so-and-so's emails haven't been getting through... will resend your order" or something like that. Try filing a claim with ebay, it either won't work or will work and get closed immediately... this should at least open up Reprolabels eyes.

    I haven't emailed the second one, but have been told my order has been reposted at least twice. I brought the items through their webpage, not eBay, and I think Paypal has a time limit that you can put a complaint through.
