Of course the Encore 19 also comes with Overkill & Lazerbeak. Encore 19 has been released in Japan & East Asia, so it is expecting to hit stores around the world sooner rather than later.

I think the lack of those decals is to make them more show-accurate. As for the faces I didn't see anything "strange"... they look perfect to me and I can't wait to get this reissue.

Indeed, and Hasbro focuses mainly on kids and their parents. The collectors market share is *very* low over here, unlike in Japan.

There are so many collectors on this site that defend Takara and Henkei's high prices by calling them "rare inports". They say the import costs from a 3rd party drive up the price. Plus, they still have to make a profit.
Thats understandable. But if you take all that out of the equation, How much can Takara or Henkei justify selling these figures for on the streets ??? Here a deluxe costs between $8.00-$12.99. Even if the Japanese market is geared towards adults, how much can they increase the price of plastic without causing an uproar ??? These things are not antiques. They come from a mold that can be used at any time. Any "limited edition" is because the company chose to make it "limited".
Tell me the real prices in US dollars on Deluxes and re-molds like rumble and frenzy here. Im so tired of speculation from collectors who never visited Japan. Tell us what they really sell for over there my friend...
P.S.
I mean no disrespect to anybody who supports current import prices or availability. I simply want to get the facts from someone who knows the truth.

I just hope takaratomy market the next tape sets well.
I think they should package Squarktalk & Beastbox with Graphy & Noise
making the last set
Grandslam & Raindance with Zaur & Dial
These combinations would have east and west fight for them and keep the second hand market price down because we all know the scalpers would put a high mark up on the japanese figures, especially if they were put together.
