Don't need no wannabes! Don't want no wannabes! Don't have no wannabes!

To address your previous comment: The 'W' stands for wannabe NOT Walter.

here's a question i've wanted to ax for a while and

it's prompted by this ebay item: to what end would you go to have one of these in your stable, and why?

i'm interested strictly on an academic level; this frame is so many generations removed from the "original" gc's, (and yes - i know there's some ambiguity regarding the timeline for that era's demise...). it's clearly produced by a company whose lineage is long removed from the eponymous firm. what is the motivation behind buying or collecting these (types of) frames if they are clearly made for the license and for the market? i'm not anti those reasons but since i like masis so much these (frames like the ebay one) leave me wondering.
lemme know, eh!
