This is exactly how I'm feeling as well. I loved the Bishoujo line and I used to collect these, but the rising prices and constant re-releases have made me lose interest. I guess the re-releases are nice for everyone who missed out, but it's just a slap in the face to long-time collectors. It seems like Koto is prioritizing new customers over older fans and I have to say that kinda stings as someone who used to own nearly all of them.

I feel like the Armored Wonder Woman re-release is due entirely to the new movie coming out, since she's been shown wearing armor in some of the advertisements. A re-release is also more cost effective over an entirely new Wondy sculpt.
It's just Koto and DC trying to capitalize on the hype, I guess.
