This may have a ring of truth to it. But at the end of the day- as we all saw Fanstoys come down from the clouds with their Omega Supreme pricing a bit, the real culprit is the collectors community in general.
It's the people who spell out in caplock "TAKE MY MONEY NOW" and also the preorder hype that people get sucked into. All it does is raise the expectations of them who formulate business models and sales projections.
And the losers? The very customers who fall victim to a manufactured sense of urgency. There's no need for urgency when it's proven that there will be reissue after reissue till the end of time
