16000, and yes.

Simply put, they're creating an artificial tier and tying it to getting even more people to buy into a rather expensive item. Instead of just saying something akin to, "you all blew away our wildest expectations, here's a little thank you."...and then they show us the Tri-Sentinel head. And yes, these Sentinels are expensive ($377 w/tax each for me). The fact that they already sold thousands beyond what they even thought they could should have been rewarded with this new piece. And still, their internals numbers might show this is well within the margins. I have no idea. I just don't think it was a smart thing to do from a business perspective. :shrug:

And to be frank I don't care about the head itself one way or the other. I was already on board from the moment I first saw the Sentinel in full. My only decision was how many to buy. I'd have bought more but I've been going Omnibus crazy lately.

Speaking of Omnibuses the X-Men Mutant Massacre book is crammed with so much extra material surrounding the event. More tie-in issues and lots of art and such in the back. It's a great purchase for X-Men fans. Nice big pages with crisp colors. It's up there in price, but I give it the highest recommendation if you're a hardcore X-Men fan!
