$200 way too much.
The most I've pent on them is $100.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

$200 is way too much. But these shoot up in price when they sell out. And re-releases on Japanese figures are still pretty rare. That's why if you see a Japanese figure you like, you should get it when you can. Also, before you might have to worry about a bootleg version.

Oh I get market price and all but if you're letting the market determine you paying more for something than you would at retail you're shooting yourself in the foot.

I've had a set of the originals since they were released, and while the magnetism is definitely not as strong as I'd like, I still haven't had either fall over. Like the idea of the all metal base instead of the metal piece attached under the plastic. I hope they go this route from now on.

IMO it's only worth shelling more on sold out pieces if a company confirms they won't do re-releases on them anymore or if they say its a limited release with a specific count. Granted I don't like companies doing variants a year or two later using the same sculpt as that feels like a shoddy business practice.

These are little plastic toys for $60.
Need to throw out any notions of exclusivity or added value from secondary market demand.

So these figures are getting a reprint. Under the description on the website, it says "The reproduction version includes a renewed statue base and package design."

Anyone know what "renewed statue base" means?

The base is all metal making for a stronger connection with the magnets.
