BTW Here is the photo of that new wave of Tineez (I'm sure someone already linked to it here via BBTS or something similar but I'm gonna repost them again anyway since sites are taking pre-orders now): Saving money by using the same molds, obviously. Talking Robot Devil Mock up I can understand your irritation nacirema. Using the same molds to make "encore" figures of ones already done may be initially cost effective, but will not benefit them in the end. I would think that for those who already have the original run of Toynami figures with BAB parts (myself included) would not want to spend more money on an even lesser version of the toy. The only people it really benefits are those who got into the merch late and missed out on the older Toynami, and do not want to pay the hefty price for them that is out there on the market right now. But Toynami should be catering to their diehard collectors - the one who will spend the money (like us) for the latest new toy. I will not be buying any of the encores, and I don't see how their sales of these figures could possibly compete with other, different figures - like the Tineez or Destructor. I've been to local toy stores like Puzzle Zoo and Toys 'R Us, and let me tell you, their shelves were completely stocked with encores. You wouldn't get that if they had some variety and made completely new figures.

From what I recall, $15 or thereabouts. A balance of the two would be nice, but so far they haven't done that.
Regarding the Tineez, I will buy it, because Bee Bender is so damn effing cute. It's the saving grace of that redo.

Let us all write Toynami letters everyday demanding action be taken, and new figures be released! At the very least one new one and one encore at a time.

Im on my phone so it's a pain in the arse to quote and what not but future u say ur toysrus has encores and such.... Do they stock benders?
In fact that's ALL I saw at Toys 'R Us a few months back. Hmm. I forgot the Encores are great for the eager creative beaver who wants to make variations that don's cost hundreds of dollars. Can't wait to see Thief Bender! And I think nacirema is right, I don't think I have a hollow top hat but I will see...

or you can just wait it out and hope they make the gender Bender two pack..I don't see a point in buying two destructors. and how do these websites have so many when only a thousand were made beyond me.
That's exactly what I've been wondering for a while now, whether these big companies ate up all the pre-orders at SDCC or perhaps there was more than 1000 made like we are led to believe...

But to me it seems people are just selling them or reselling them, how many do you suppose are actually holding on to the goods as the end user?

Someone just listed their entire Toynami collection. Sooo when you asked how much they'd be worth nacirema...that's how much someone thinks they are worth. I am tempted to individually itemize each piece and see how close they are...

Hahaha. Can't tell if serious or making wise crack! For that price I would expect it to be free shipping...
