    Funnily, I had the exact same discussion with @Broark already when I wanted to hear if his endeavours were successful. I am pretty certain the "hard to get"-aspect is definitely there. For some this might be a turn off and others will be just more motivated to be part of the "chosen cricle".

    If we take a look at the famous one-man brands here like Slash, CSF, BoT, WMJ, rebuilt, Mepse, Little Hand and many more, I am certain they all want to achieve the perfect replica and will go lengths to achieve this (this is why I didn't include Roy, not so much of a repro guy).
    So the question is, does one exceeds the others? It's one thing to talk about what he wants to create and if he really creates this. From those above and the ones I handled, Mepse was the most disappointing. They didn't feel special in any way. Slash for example has very little exposure not only in the West but you also won't find many examples in Japan. At least I didn't. When I read his IG post that his XX-grade models will be extraordinary expensive I would have thought it would be in the 80k Yen area. I never would have thought it will go over 100k. Broark already has a pair and can judge if those prices are worth it (for him). And if you know he offers the "perfect" pair, why should one settle with his cheaper lines ;)

    For a long time CSF was seen as the pinnacle of repro but nowadays, people don't really talk anymore of him. Probably mainly because you simply can't buy his stuff unless second hand or in Japan (and sometimes with a lottery system as well). It's interesting that Slash choses the same selling prohibition from the start.

    How do you like the 66 model you got from him out of curiosity?

    Wasn't too impressed with the BigE model he made. It's long been sold.

    But I am pretty certain he improved since then. Also in terms of used materials
