Takara is looking for a cash cow. They have the mold. There is a market. They don't care about eBay, so it's a pretty simple decision for them.

The only reason people pay $80 for this thing is because of its potential value. There's no way it even costs $10 to make it.

By reissuing reissues, they're trashing the reputation of any product to be released.

I can't figure out which OP fetched that.

I'm guessing the Jafcon one.
