True statement Master innkeeper…. but not completely…. thanks to the this survey we have another 10% discount for spending our precious time to fulfillment it….

true enough, that’s why the word and concept of “Legacy” exists
you can’t take anything when you die but you can pass it along to your children and children’s children… and rest assured that they don’t use it in a way you would not have desired through well established “last wills”…indeed that’s all psychology because once you’re dead, it does not matter anymore, but it is common sense among human kind to project oneself beyond death while you’re alive and be happy with what you think will happen (no matter what will really happen…)… call it materialism if you will
… that’s the fundamental upon which capitalism and liberalislm are built upon and which – no matter what our ideology is – is currently “ruling” the world ….…. idealistic existentialism and fostering illusion of imaginary heritage…. in a few short words !
but we are happy now… and this is important… 
yeah well I really think I need a drink too
and a fresh one besides I received an answer from Chris concerning this survey question…
“I know for a certain fact that many of the masters do not exist any longer and many of the old moulds have deteriorated so much as to be un-useable ( the damp climate of Ireland has a long term deteriorating effect on the rubber). I feel very annoyed when this sort of thing happens without my knowledge. I agree with you 100% that if any are re-made then they should be marked “2nd edition” in some way; actually , more than this – I would insist on re-mastering all of them ( even those for whom the masters still survive), a bit like the remaking of the Fantasy range into Phaeton, so these would be effectively entirely new figures. Thus the real question to ask in any survey such as this should be whether collectors would rather I spend my design time re-working M1 to 100, or making 100 new figures.That sums it all up don’t you think?
