You never know. The exclusive Commemorative version of Piranacon (Seacons) went as low as $29.99 several times. It seems like the minor color changes were enough to keep the buyers away.

I don't think it was the color changes that turned people off Guy, it was the cr@ppy QC/mold degradation that was the pitch hitter (I btw got one, Piranacon 'cause, well I never owned one in order to get hold of another G1 gestalt)
As for 6 shot, well, if you don't own one but can get a hold of a loose but mint version then go for it! I do understand the concerns on the re-issue, too much bling when they, Takara could have sold it in a more affordable price range.

Honestly, that's the only point of this kind of packaging because most of them are bought online, where you cannot buy the thing on impulse because you saw the amazing packaging in person.

A little bling is nice. I'm even willing to pay additional for extra paint apps but in 6shot's case, to high the price. They could have easily packed him in the retro box sans the chrome( well keep the original chrome apps from the vintage) and he would still sell like hotcakes. Encore Devastar and Bruticus more than proves my statement.
Anyway, counting myself one of the fortunate ones to have got him cheap........good luck to todays takers.
