Why the feck only 500 of Pipes.......yes he's too small now copmpared to the other not-Minis but do IGear just not want the money or something.............? It's not being advertised as a BBTS exclusive but such a short number must be as It's not on Igear's own site?

Wanting the money is exactly what they're doing. This is more of a collector oddity than a part of the main line. If they're doing all the mini bots they'll be getting to Pipes eventually so this is more milking the molds they put probably a lot of money into for all they're worth. If they aren't planning to make a Pipes version, this is still getting all they can out of the molds. The incredibly short run is likely to get collectors hyped about owning something very limited. I mean, this straight repaint wouldn't appeal to the intended audience under normal circumstances.
