If anyone has a complete (or mostly) Piranacon, I am happy to buy at a reasonable price.

It's missing one, and generally costs way too much, so no.Quote:

Since its clear that the mold is nice and healthy, Why can't they release them for Universe in proper colors or get Takara to do a reissue?
Yeah, I've been petrified of buying anything vintage that might be reissued. Some collectors insist on the original, but I personally prefer a reissue for its newness. Hold out if you can.Quote:

It seems that they were intended for the original Universe and their themed colors look evoke that.Quote:

If the US stores won't have them, then let's hope Takara Tomy releases them as Encore sometime in the near future unless the mold is exclusively in the hands of Hasbro.
actually i may now where one is the guys asking about $400 for it though
The average Ebay price is around $200-$250. Some people over price it but that is the general going price.Quote:

well, they might just to spike the OTFC people :P
That is not beyond possibility, look at what happened with the Classics Seekers.Quote:

I have Piranacon (and God Neptune), so I have no vested interest, but would love to see TT do this so that others can enjoy Piranacon as well (:
i bet post modernist artists love Universe 1 colour schemes
