I was pleasantly surprised by this and proved quite refreshing. People need to not overthink this.

I see your point. If it had been a much higher ES that that would have been more lazy.
Doing just a small run for excitement and unexpectedness isn't so bad.
If they were creating variants all the time with pieces I'd have more of a problem.

While companies keep raising the prices every three to six months. It affects everyone and not just a single individual. Theyre actually harming the hobby rather than helping.
And its only going to continue while they keep buying new, trying to sell off recently acquired new pieces, because they dont want it anymore. They want to sell and fund to buy another new piece that comes onto the scene for pre order. And its blowing up in everyone elses faces now on the secondary market.
While spending there stagnates, company prices keep increasing and people keep spending at retail, thinking an edition size will help retain its value. Its not. Stop spending right away, and companies will be forced to lower their prices. This is why I call them suckers. They cant see passed the illusion of hype, and get sucked into whatever pieces & prices sideshow throws at em.

Today, I am more interested in small companies as HMO, F4F, Blitzway, Level52, etc.. because I get from them more passion than need to earn money and to dig deeper and deeper in our wallets. I like YouTube videos of F4F, because they are as kids in front of a new toy.
If tomorrow I have to choose between big companies which think that I am a wallet on two legs and passionate kids, my choice will be quickly made.
But well, maybe I am a little bit naive...

Hopefully the quick sale will push sideshow to do a White version. I would buy that one fast.

I wouldn't say naive, but parts of this feel misplaced.
Mostly every company puts in a lot of passion into this hobby, after all, there's still the designers, sculptors, painters, etc. that make all of this possible.
That said, every one of them needs to make money no matter how you cut it. F4F, HMO both do variants as an extra source of income. If you want to branch out to other licenses, you're going to need to find more ways to generate revenue. If you want better talent, you need more money.
What's funny is that all of these companies are just groups of passionate kids making big toys.

I was going to stop for breakfast this morning, but I don’t want dark humorless to think I’m some big company enabler. What to do, what to do? I feel like my naïveté is helping raise the price of Egg McMuffins for everybody...

Don't freaking do it, Tbolt. You should grow your own wheat, then grind it into flower, make you own muffins. Also, raise your own chickens and get your eggs for free. Don't be an enabler and support McD
Anyways, I am off to Tims

I recall SS saying repaints were not planned for this. I have zero issues with repaints/variants...just announce them all at the same time.
