Ivan Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Recently I went to AFX to see what Minimates they had available. Surprisingly, I couldn't find he Ryu/Akuma P2 pack listed in the Minimates section, or the Street Fighter section, or the Exclusives section. Eventually, I found them in the Retired Exclusives section. It's completely sold out. Usually when I buy Minimate exclusives, I'll pick up one or two packs when they first come out. I'll then check back periodically and buy more as prices drop. (Elrond overfloweth ) That never happened with this two-pack, and I'm curious if anyone knows why. The 3500 run is smaller than the 5000 reserved for most exclusives, and that probably plays apart. But the Bison/Chun-Li P2 pack was also a run of 3500 and I picked up quite a few when those were priced at $1.99 about a month ago. Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone knows what made this exclusive sell so much better than the others AFX has had. My Street Fighter knowledge is limited to the lone SFII cartridge sitting next to my SNES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Im thinking its for four reasons: Good/Popular Characters Good pairing AFX Can actually sell minimates (glares at Gamecrazy/Hollywood video) These came out WAY before the waves did, and as such a lot of the casual fans got these instead. That probably is the first ever "sell out" Minimate exclusive though, which *should* bode well for future lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
