That would kinda stink but I guess it's the nature of the business...supply and demand.

If there's enough of a request, don't be surprised if she is re-issued.

I don't have anything bad to say about Koto re-releasing old statues again since they never promised they were limited edition in the first place, but as a collector it does take some of the fun away from collecting if they keep re-releasing old ones...

I don't think it's a big deal if they just do a re-release every now and then, I just prefer if it's the exception and not the rule...

Just my 2 cents

Especially with the supposed Tali Bishoujo coming sometime, a re-release of the Mass Effect ones would be nice. Would it suck for the people selling it for six times its original value on eBay? Sure, but I don't care about their problems, I want the last statue I need for my collection and I want it for less then 100 dollars. So yes re-release her. And all the others as well, HAHAHAHA!!! Oh, and Power Girl, I need her too, and somehow she has become quite pricey as well. Cause I shouldn't have to go broke, to get these statues because of people's greed.
Simple answer! Gamingheads 1/4 scale Mass Effect line......just saying

Cool statue of Liara, still out of my price range. So a possible re-release of the Kotobukiya one for $60-$70 is more in my range my friend. Thanks for the suggestion though, might keep it in mind though if my fortunes change.

I got Supergirl around $105.
It was pricey ~_~; And yeah, I'd be bummed too
if I saw her being sold cheaper.
But I might buy an extra Supergirl for a regular price

What version of Black Widow, there are quite a few..
1. Smaller first release
2. " " with blonde bob hair
3. New release, larger size, black outfit (Daredevil)
4. "" gray outfit (Hawkeye)
There might even be another version....

Any bishoujo at $34 is good. If you are going to have her long term, I don't see a problem with not having a box.
But if you are a person that gets bored of pieces, and you want to resell soon, then you might have trouble selling it.

That one! I was about to buy her,
but someone else beat me to it. So frustrating, haha!
I was 33 minutes late commenting 'dibs!'

I saw another one, new and sealed.
But costs $113...

Think it's a good price?

I believe the original price was like $58 or around there, so if it's something you really want $113 not to bad...

exactly! I paid double and triple to buy some of them so whoever missed them can as well to obtain them. I would be not so happy to pay so much just to have them reissue it for retail. If they do want to reissue them Koto please change something on the new ones. I would prefer Koto to leave the ones sold out alone. They had their run for like a year or more. Time to move forward and make new ones.

I don't buy my statues with intent on making a profit so I really don't care if they re-release them. It doesn't make me mad if someone gets a better price than me because I bought something on the aftermarket. I would never pay a ridiculously high price for an aftermarket piece anyway.
