I'm not even that active on the toy forums and even I know that people really wanted this.

They're kind of in a bind now though, since they've already stated it was a limited edition of 400. If they reissued now, those who were able to get it would probably be upset. Maybe if they made some minor change to differentiate the two, even just a packaging change.

Honestly, I was one of the lucky people to get one this morning, and I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if they reopened it and bumped up the production numbers so that anyone that wants one can get one. If someone is the type of person that gets upset because more people have a chance to get what they want to make them happy because it screws up their perceived value of the figure, they should be ashamed of themselves.

It's one thing if it sold out a few days or weeks after the pre-orders went up, but lots of people expressed interest in this figure being their definitive choice for Mez's Punisher releases. The time between announcement and sell out was TINY, with a bunch of collectors stuck asleep in bed for the entire duration of the email going out to it being no longer available. That ain't great.

I honestly hope they open it back up, or cancel bulk orders from ebay scalpers. Give people a reasonable chance to get what they want.
