My biggest concern is there is going to be a lot of con-artists out there trying to pass the replicas for the originals and I may need to concentrate getting the originals now.<br /><br />My Wayne Foundation was a rebuild and it is now pretty much complete. For the most part it is my original playset, but my Dad had cleaned out my parents garage years ago, which is a story I have told on many occasions, and he threw out many of my toys. Pretty much anything that was cardboard was trashed and that included the back drops and flooring for this playest. Ironically, he kepts the girders and furntinure, but I was able to find what I needed on eBay to replace those pieces.John Sholtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871401128686878225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309634107431525589.post-16846572149805611862013-05-26T21:24:02.871-07:002013-05-26T21:24:02.871-07:00I would go with Repos if your taking them out to d...I would go with Repos if your taking them out to display and maybe have the carded originals behind the repos on the shelf.<br /><br />If it was up to me and cash wasn't a concern, I would opt for the originals. As a Mego-head, I would want the originals anyday.<br /><br />I see you have one of my holy grails (The Wayne Foundation). Jealous!
