Pretty standard for any business to sell more of their best sellers. Stern bumped a machine numbers after presages went fast, I forget which machine it was. That was pretty bad because it was a bump in numbers. JJP has made a new package and called it a new model. Made many mad but there are enough changes to see that it is different.
Anybody that thinks you are getting a limited edition that will not be made again is just silly. This is for anything, not just pins. Cars are the same way, they may only build 1,000 GT500 cars this year, but next year they will build more. That is the way I look at the 75th WOZ, new model. Tron was the same way, I kept thinking I wanted to order one of the last runs because I like it. I missed ordering the last run like three times and decided to just wait until I find one local. It is business for them even though we treat it like our grail collection piece.
