Kind of a slap in the face of the collectors to constantly reissue figures/cash-grabs until it?s no longer fun to get them. But not everyone is a Toy Collector, some just get what they like and move on. And Rider is definitely not the only line I collect that CONSTANTLY abuses their fans (ANY Godzilla line from ANY maker) with pointless (for moi wallet & I ) cash-grab reissues. Also, I use my collecting to control my rampant OCD.

Sorry to address you like this, nothing personal, but that opinion of yours is complete garbage.

Reissues are healthy and necessary. New collectors or people who had financial issues shouldn't be forced to pay high aftermarket prices for something they want just because they couldn't get it the first time around.

Toy companies can get more money from an already designed product to get funds for new things.

I understand the usual "Another reissue? I want to see something new!"-complaints to some extend, but speaking of abuse in this context is just weird.
