No it's not about the resale value or what I think about my own toy. And it's great that so many people that wanted Fort Max can get one easily.

But Fort Max was so hard to get (due to rarity and price) that whenever someone finally got one, it was a big moment. I never thought I'd own one, and then I got a good deal from a fellow member and it felt like a significant landmark in my collecting. An achievement. With the Encore release it wont be that achievement for others, and I can't think of another Western release toy that will fill those shoes.
