Re: addicted to smoking... Yea, the release schedule for Smoking Stars has been ramping up big time.
Now we need more Killer J's, or how about a new sculpt? I'd love to see what's next.

Re: addicted to smoking... no, "short printing" is not the point
amount of releases does matter
I mean if you have 4-5 releases per month, 50-60 per year, collecting become boring
don't you think that let's say new cronic figures (akoron and dorome) are not that popular as oldies because too many of them released recently?
I think the total number of releases of any single figure should follow "the golden mean" - too seldom, too limited releses - collectors start to give up, too often, too many - and collectors start to give up again.
imho

Re: addicted to smoking... I think the toymakers should do whatever pleases them. Don't listen to us. We're a bunch of fickle idiots.
