I have to admit I prefer the repos as well. Good quality is a must to be sure.
Esp the Plastic sets as these really lose colour and go slighty off brown in the clear areas over time.
I got some Space Invaders plastics repos a while back and wow what a difference it made. No longer were the palstics an weird green and yellow and dont laugh but they also smelt like vomit. The new ones look the goods and will last longer due to the materials used. And no they dont stink. Nice.
Also have a couple of repo playfields as well for those games that are on the keeper list down the track.
Now all I am waiting for is a decent repo Firepower Backglass to come out. Maybe one day!
