whats your thoughts on these, personally i don't like the fact they are full size and will float around as originals in years to come. they are easy to distinguish but that won't stop people being unscrupulous with them and fleecing people down the line

the seller has loads of the big titles, such as Big Trouble, Nightmare on Elm Street, Star wars, Bond

Yes.

Chris you are right that we do need to do our research but at the same time its disgusting what these scumbags do.

Not all of us are created equal or have the time to research these scumbags.

We all know they will dupe some/many people sadly, but they are being described as reprints - yes, it's what happens afterwards that's worrying.
A positive spin on it is that I feel it will end up pushing up the prices of genuine examples.
