They even included the T2 3D Universal Studios Ride head sculpt, which is a slightly older version. I’m sure the bike and all the accessories set them back, it even cost $50! More than most any ultimate, and he’s a kid....small figure!
Same thing happened with Newt. People said it didn’t look enough like her, or they had no interest. I know for some it sucks that John is an exclusive, but just remember...there are always people out there that think like this. For that reason, the demand for mass release isn’t there. My guess is that they’ll handle this like Newt, and release him with Sarah in a set. She needs a restock anyway, ebay is pretty high now.

And if he does get a re-release without a bike just grab a 1:10 scale dirt bike. They're currently easy to find. While many are not exactly like the one from the movie they are die-cast and look awesome.

Seems Kreese and the Karate kid line are getting a bit of criticism. If you take a look at Trevor Grove's facebook page the likenesses appear spot on. Seems that either the paintwork isn't good enough or it may well be these look better in person. Either way there's no arguing that the original sculpt is on point.
