    Well the first one was clearly a mistake. It's not as if we are talking about 2 incredibly well done Seasprays from the same company.

    Didn't seaspray get a G1 and G2 paint scheme out of the mold from XTB, two molds from FT, and a mold from Zeta? If we're including other companies, I kind of feel like that futher supports Trailbreaker's point.

    I mean, the toy made it all the way to release. It was a dud, but not due to some kind of oversight. They clearly thought they were releasing a solid toy. Even if we classify something fans don't like as a mistake though, that's still the new mold from FT, plus the molds from zeta and XTB.

    We can argue till our faces are blue. I can also argue that Trailbreaker received more love than Seaspray with 3 companies releasing theirs within a short span of time while Seaspray was more sporadic.

    Sure, but then you'd just be moving the goal post.

    There is no incentive for ft to release this. So many preorders out at 99 when the new price point for a figure like this is 199. The longer they wait the more money they loose. Not to mention the market is saturated with this character.

    I feel like they need to announce something by the end of April for a June release if they’re not taking a break.

    It’s probably this guy, but It could be Tesla, Huffer or Acoustic Wave or something. Maybe they wanna compete with Badcube Huffer.

    Uhh...FT doesn't stand to lose ANY money. They instructed retailers to remove those pre-order listings, and some did not comply.

    FT will get their full asking price for this figure whenever it releases. Who might end up screwed over is retailers who didn't react when FT informed them that it would be resolicited at a later date.

    but as it has been stated before when one of the retailors was asked they said that yes the end price is going to change but they didn't think it was fair to those who had already pre-ordered to drop that one and make them go back through the pre-order ordeal and possibly missing out on the repre-order.

    Point is, none of that affects FT. They will charge retailers whatever they are going to charge them, and they will be paid that amount. Outstanding POs have absolutely no impact on that.

    Anyone else get a 3 day availability notice from TCP? Must be an oversight right?

    For sure. Got shit like MakeToys Coneheads saying they're arriving so right from there I knew it was a glitch.

    Gonna send them an email later today and see at least from what I have PO'd, which of what was said to arrive are ACTUALLY arriving.
