When transporter technology is available, no doubt replicator technology will be too, so then all you have to do is instruct the replicator to replicate as many MIB or MIP Star Trek figures as you want, i bet the packaging will be perfect every time!

Yes from time to time when the replicator get programed with something else other than Kirk and Spock it either takes it weeks and weeks to mateirlize or all you get to see is a picture of it lol

I know that there are collectors out there with fat bank accounts that can pay thousands for pieces like the Romulan and Wesley, but i am not one of them. I would love to have them, but not enough to spend that much. As much driving around to stores looking for these back in the 80's as i did, Galoob should make a new run of these and give me a free set.

So roughly how many of the Wes Crusher and Romuan were actually made?

I think I heard somewhere that there are typically 5 of each prototype made, I think it was on Toyhunter, a seller who made the item had his prototype and talked about how many they make and who they go to.

The Wesley looks to old. I think it might be derived from Q. The Romulan could be original or possibly Data resculpted.

A smart person would get them, open them, make molds and cast copies, but only a few at a time and pass them off as prototypes on Ebay. Would work as long as he didn't get caught by someone not afraid to open a package.

I'm just curious how bad of a pegwarmer Wesley would have been. The Romulan seems like it would have been a nice figure to have, though.

I think only the completists and customizers would have bought Wesleys.

No a dishonest person who doesnt mind committing fraud on people would do that. Its one thing to make copies and say its a copy from an original its quite another to extort people out of their hard earned money by saying its real and giving them the false sense that they have something special. A lot of collectors like myself get to a stage where they are hunting the rare of the rare and would be devastated if they found out something they just dropped a few grand on was a fake.

Well, if they learned their lesson from the extra Rikers, I'd bet they wouldn't have released quite as many. I totally would have bought one. I was so jealous of Wesley. I totally wanted to be him. I was 9. Plus, there was a good handful of marketing to kids my age at that time. I remember something on a Cheerios box, I had stickers...I don't think it would have done badly. I bet if they had taken the risk to keep the line going it would have started to pay off. Plus, they could have done some easy re-releases with Riker, Geordi, and Worf repaints without extra retooling. Yes, that would have ment that Worf's Baldric would be wrong...but they still could have gone that route. Oh well.

Perhaps I should have used the word clever, anyway, the point is there aren't supposed to be very many, yet they always seem to be available.

Its ok, I see what you mean now. Its unfortunate though that it happens. I have talked to a few collectors who got out of it because they blew a few grand on a supposed ultra rare item and it turned out to be a very good reproductions in some way.

A friend of mine has run a toy shop for ten yrs and somebody still got one over on him. They brought in what was thought to be a mint on card original 70's Darth Vader. Everything was 100% right about it while he looked at it during the transaction. He paid $600 for it and one day when he was moving it around vaders light saber slid out of his arm and you could tell it was a fake one because the color wasnt right at all. Then he started dig around the net and found out the card was a reproduction card that is sold on ebay to be nearly 100% original for people who want to recard figures and the only way you can tell its not is by using a magnifying glass. I even looked at it and it had me convinced I mean everything was right about it and then he showed me the imperfections and they are really hard to spot. Con artist are getting better and better at this game.
