Reissue Sixshot still coming

[UltraMarginal]

Does anyone remember the RRP for the 2010 Edition Predaking reissue? Anyway, I'd be expecting Sixshot to be around the $60-70 mark.

I paid about $180 I think. and I'd expect the re-issue sixshot to be at least $100.

2010 Predaking retailed for 15,750Y vs 14,000Y for the 2004 reissue.

The 2004 Predaking reissue retailed for 14000JPY, or $171, so $180 isn't too far off that.

and I'd expect the re-issue sixshot to be at least $100.

That's a massive hike from the $61 RRP of the previous reissue and I don't think we've ever seen Takara(TOMY) jack up the price of a subsequent reissue like that before. I'd be really disappointingly surprised if the RRP turned out to be so ridiculously expensive.

I guess with a higher expectation and it's is released at a lower cost it comes as a nice surprise... Better to be prepared.. Then you always have postage on top again...RRP is great if you can pick it up in a store....


I wonder if they will do a greatshot.....

Japan-based online stores like HLJ and Amiami tend to sell at RRP or less (they often give pre-order discounts). But yeah, postage is a factor (making saving money on the core cost of the toy more important IMHO ).

The way Kapow seems to say "Asia Exclusive" and "not part of the Encore line" seems to indicate that this is a Hasbro Asia exclusive.

Which means that the price may in fact be higher than what Takara have previously charged for their releases.

I hope it gets another release with the encore series that way it's cheaper. Coz the metallic and leather packaging adds more to its price, I'm not too interested in packaging anyways. A retooled release into Greatshot figure would be most welcome as well.

I did manage to get one of the 2004 releases, but always wanted a second to open as I have great memories of getting the figure in 1989 in a trip to Auckland, New Zealand and playing with it for the next 10 years *until they all got boxed up and sent to the Salvation Army*

Hoping not to expensive .. but being a limited edition Hasbro Asia release I am expecting a good retail price hike.
