masteryoyo agrees completely. the manufacturer has EXPLOITED collectors' passion to the brim. sadly, the local sw community have profiteered by hoarding/scalping, thus, making the re-paints even 'harder to find'. not only do collectors have to cope with a proliferation of similar figures but also have to fork up a premium for these clones.

the recent TCW arygus is a clear example. A relatively minor character (with basic clone figure) has been 'out-of-stock'. Going at prices >18.90 at some secondary markets.... sad :(
