V3 is probally the only Heisei, or Showa.. .. The only original Kamen Rider I'd buy. I'd love to have a V3 and a The Next for a display.

What's really interesting is that the reissue is priced lower than the original release by around $8 according to Bluefin's facebook post.

I'll pass. I see no reason to own this version just because it was featured in maybe half a year's worth of shows compared to the remaining 40ish years.

I think they finally adjusted their MSRP to match the lower yen.

Is it wrong of me to hope the Yen goes lower to lower the price of more Figuarts?

Not wrong at all, Japan is lowering their currency intentionally to boost exports. So it helps them, up to a point.

I miss the days when I could buy an item that was 9800Y and it would cost me $72. Nowadays, that same item translates into $113.
