    Default Encore Metroplex second run

    Thought this little bit of news might go unnoticed since it was just reported on the international sites amongst a regular BBTS update.

    Seems Encore Metroplex is getting a second run, great news for those that missed out the first time! It seems to indicate that the larger Encore release was at least profitable, contrary to the general consensus that they shelf warmed.

    I hope this means the continuation of G1 reissues!

    I hope it means future larger Encore reissues - I want an Encore Overlord, Victory Saber and Deszaras!

    The likleyhood of them actually doing those would probably be slim to none, and slim left town

    I would buy them as well if they did them. One can only hope they do.

    This means Trypticon has to come out!* All those 'plexes with no one to fight...

    *doesn't mean anything more than a rabid fan speculation

    I wonder if the new video game would help the chances...

    Sweet. Picked two up in Singapore on release but managed to stuff up my monthly order for them and have to give one away on my return.

    Yet to pick up one since they got so expensive..

    Surely if they're willing to do a second run of Metroplex (a barely-used character at a huge price point) then Overlord, Victory Saber or Deszaras would be likely potential possibilities owing to their far more prominent roles in Japanese canon?

    I guess it's safe to say that K.O.'s really have minimal impact on sales of official items.

    This rerelease is a good sign that maybe we'll see some more large figures. Overlord would be magnificant but unlikely.
