i was just curious as to why bruticus sales have dropped? is it because of the encore? please let me know as i have sold 2 now for 86 apiece, complete, whereas i usually sell them for 120-160 apiece. any help will do.

Bruticus has seen more re-releases/repaints then any other G1 combiner.

You can easily get three different versions of Ruination for under 70 bucks, and now an Encore release of the original Bruticus for around 85. The vintage figure has less and less appeal when the molds are very easy to come by.
I've been meaning to pick up a new one, and it is nice to have a lot of options.  | |
