    143 a piece for the "regular" set isn't too terrible. Still, it's over %50 more than the original price but approximately half of what a full set goes for now.

    Mostly I think the extra charge for the grey chest is shitty.

    I got a preorder for the regular set too though I can get in a preorder w/ TFS-EXPRESS or Show.Z I'll cancel w/ BBTS.

    I doubt you'll have trouble selling your spare

    So let me get this straight, you have to buy full sets and the only difference is that bombshell has a grey chest in one set. What is the point of the grey chest? for insect mode?

    Bot mode. In the G1 Cartoon Bombshell has a grey chest, not black like the others. It's generally considered more desirable by the community. I personally don't care.

    I think it will take some time before these will be reissued.
    They didn't sell fast.
    There more figures that are desired more by the fans. Stomp anyone?

    Just means the sides of his chest. All of them come with changable yellow chests between clear and opaque.

    Yeah, I think I'm done buying FT.

    An absurd amount of $ just for a grey chest...

    That's just scalping. And I'm NOT talking about BBTS.

    Storing product for years would cost more than they'll make on these. It's not like these companies have warehouse space sitting around, stuff goes from the factory to the wholesalers/retailers.

    Extremely limited runs are not uncommon, if they're just finding a small gap in factory production time. That also explains the prices. Low run = high price. And that's not a supply & demand thing, it's economics of scale.

    I guess FT philosophy is "If you can't beat em', join em'." and "Why let the scalpers have all the fun?"

    This makes me extra nervous with regards to the possibility of future DINO reissues.
