me too. they were absolutely genius financially, so I have no clue why they stopped. Especially after we saw prototype pictures of skids, meg's addon parts, tracks, and smokescreen. It's not expensive to actually make the figures (considering you have the designs for the most part done.) and the amount of resources (plastic and paint) is incredibly small. Then you charge about 5-7 dollars a figure, put them in blind boxed, and have chase figures, you have quite a popular item.Redimus wrote:Aint that the stinking truth.Stormrider wrote:Thanks for the info.

I still wanna know why Takara canceled them when they were still very popular.

I would have easily paid $80 for each KO's or not. Wish I would have seen that. Any idea who the vendor was so I can look them up this summer???
