Black Spriggan Requiem is a different story since many people bought multiple to try and get it, but I still don't rly see the problem w it tbh, it's just a color after all, I think people are a little bit too attached to the concept of recolors and rare parts and $$ in relation to them and need to calm down a bit. This is a series targeted and aimed for kids mainly after all not rich people or gamblers lol og takara tomy prices are for the most part kept pretty affordable for the average money most kids are able to get either from chores, allowance, holiday money etc throughout the year for boosters/starters etc.
The issue is that there are collectors out there that will go nuts for these rare recolors and take pride in getting them, even secondhand. Those people will be very, very ticked off if this booster releases with these rare layers, i can assure you. Even if they're not the target demographic, they are paying good money for all these rare releases and you don't want to lose out on your more fanatical buyers if you can avoid it.
idk, but the logic that just because some collectors go loco on getting the rare parts as one of the main reasons not to push through with this RBV release is quite understandable, yet when we look at it at Takara Tomy's point of view, this will be a calculated risk. They are a corporation, so they wouldn't care if some collectors get ticked off by this release.
For all we know, the colors of each rare Layer might not even be of the same exact hue, and that the image in the thread just serves as placeholder. Maybe the actual products have a lighter or darker tinge to differentiate the previously released rare Layer recolors.
Just to get back on track tho, this release is probably like a "filler" akin to anime/manga relationship, where they would only re-release older parts to prepare for the new season of Burst. That or probably they are running out of ideas for gimmicks (which is a shame since Dual Layers were able to get lots of different Layer designs, even with those not seen at all in the anime/manga).
I respect both sides of the argument for the normal releasing of rare Layers, but let's just wait for the actual release of products before reacting too much, I think.
