Re: this topic.

Let's face it - lots of us have spent money on toys only to have them reissued and see our toys plummet in 'value' - it happens all the time. Landcross for example, went from a rare Japanese 'exclusive' to being sold in little boxes for the price of Micromasters. If anyone really wants a Stepper they can now get a reissue for about a fiftieth of what original Steppers used to go for. Heck - now people can get all three original 1984 seeker toys as MISB Encores for less than a hundred bucks. If people are going to look at Transformers as expensive commodities, then - like the stock market - some investments will go up, others will inevitably go down. Nobody needs countless recolours of that same Classics seeker mould - it's the choice of individuals if they want to spend big bucks on toys. If TakaraTomy or Hasbro do inevitably happen to bring out similar ones later on, at least you got to play with them or have them in your collection for that little bit longer - it's that time you're paying for.
