And yeah, with lines, the only people that tend to say they want extra versions are the people that missed out first time round. I can understand if the quality of the original wasnt too good or if its a different version of the character, but I dont see the point of going back to characters that are already done well. Ryu is my favourite of the line so far.

Thats part of the hobby, trying to track down the pieces you dont have.

1 of each please, no more

I would be happy to have a different Vega (and he is my favorite) I would also like multiples of Guile (since the new one coming out isn't 100% to my liking) I am still getting Ryu and probably will another, if it is done well enough.

The only one I would want made again because it is too high is Akuma, and I know I won't pay that much for a character I hardly know or care about.

Sure this is a small line with many characters, but there are plenty of fans out there that will buy multiples of character, just got to go to all the Marvel characters as examples. Averone has a massive IM collection (also as an example), there are multiples of these and people will still buy them, because after 5 years in this line there will be wanting more different poses of characters, I don't see why that is so hard to understand.

I can understand Z or Dahlsim or Balrog not getting multiples, but Ken, Ryu, Guile, Bison, Chun Li, Blanka these are main characters that can be made over and over.

I'd prefer smaller characters than any duplicate (like Sean using Ken's body in a limited run.... hint hint hint Jerry)

Big +1 on this. Sucks if you are late into the game, but thats the hobby. Doubling up is a horribly bad idea for the collectors.

I agree...I vote for no re-release. I don't even have the Akuma. I just kiss it good-bye. Besides, I don't think I'll live long enough to be a completist in this line since there are so many characters out there. At this rate, I think it will take over 100 years to produce all of them. Just buy your favorite characters....

And don't be like Bowen with the re-release of 10 different versions

Anyone want to trade their Akuma ES and Ryu EX for my Dr. Doom PF EX? j/k...no way in hell I'll give up my grail maybe for $5000

I came to this party late and it sucks. But it's totally OK because I know eventually I'll be able to get the pieces I am missing. It's kind of exciting having my own personal grails out there. And anticipating the feeling I'll get when I finally get them.

I started this line with Cammy, So I missed 3 fighters. Right now my grails are, (In order of most wanted):
  • Shin Akuma
  • Ryu Reg
  • Vega EX

Someday...
