    Hi guys, need your opinion here:

    http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/yumemachibito/imgs/3/a/3a1fe93e.jpg

    To me this looks like a replica. I haven't seen anything like that but...as I haven't been very active lately did I missed it?

    The owner pretends it's a 500pce L.E.

    Thanks for your input!

    ooopss..was ist das...???
    either I haven't been updating myself over a 'new' model...or..'replica'..??
    I would define replica as something that exists and then copied...more or less....but that guy....doesn't seem to be ever created....in that format I mean....
    wow...

    Good point. It's not even a replica. I chose this word to stay polite :-)...unless... but everything here proves it's wrong at so many levels.

    It seems that fakes now come in Limited editions too. ;-) What an increase in value!
