6 pack re-issue of toynami I-Men

[on:]

Hey guy's,
I'm currently on a collectors chase and came across a 6 pack of i-men on forbidden planet.com - though they aren't showing on  forbidden planet.co.uk.
The 'by popular demand' re-issue includes 6 of the original 10 priced at £17.99($36)(£4 ship to UK).Figure are:
Fry
Leela
Bender
Farnsworth
Robot Devil
Zoidberg-not sure how to link so checkout for yourself on forbidden planet.COM(not co.uk).
The orignal 2 packs currently go for $50 on ebay so this is good news for collectors who missed out on the original 1st time round-though if like me you might buy the new ones as openers and still hope to collect the original 5 X 2 packs.
Hope this is good news for some collectors     
Would appreciate any replies
p.s. anyone with spare original i-men loose or carded feel free to contact me about possible trade options

I had forgotten to mention that as I did talk to Toynami at the show and they did mention they would be reissuing a 'best of' 6 pack of their I-Men.
I don't know I would pay that much for a 2-pack as the Bender/ Robot Devil 2-pack seems to be the only one that is in high enough demand to get those types of prices.  I got really lucky and walked into a store and they had the entire set for the original price.  Needless to say I snatched them right up without hesitation.
Good luck in your search.

Awesome, though I'm awaiting my Bright 'n' Shiny Bender to arrive from Hot Topic.com, and therefore have no money to get them. Bummer. Good luck in your search though.

Speaking of the bright and shiny Bender - it appears that RocketUSA is also reissuing most of their Bender wind up toys.  You can tell they are different because the package is a bit sturdier and not as flimsy as the original releases.  The original releases also had a flap that you could open to the die cut window.

Thanks for telling me about the slight difference. I'll enjoy the box that much more.
