Is it safe to assume that nobody here attaches much--if any--value to reproduction boxes? I've thought about it for a while, and decided not to partake of them. (I didn't put this in the "boxes" thread, as that thread is basically a "sticky" here and I didn't want to clutter it up with my dumb question.)

Hi Alan,
All of the repro boxes I have seen have been a poor imitation of the real thing, most collectors are just not interested in them to be honest

i have a couple...i much rather have the real thing...but some are just too hard to come by or they are very expensive...a good substitute till i acquire the real thing

Agreed Dan , The models cost enough on their own . This is the best repro box ivé seen . Had them custom made for the few models I made .Now that forum is gone ,are these 6 models worth more ?. lol . I hate lefora

Thanks for the input. It is as I figured.

I can understand their usefulness for display purposes, though... but as some of you may know, I'm a long way from having a fancy display!

I once had a "Fancy Display", but the local Police thought otherwise...

Ghosty.

I'd rather go without than have repro boxes. No different to putting a fake or copy model in the cabinet.
