Once More, Re-Sailing Again


Sigh... MegaHouse is clearly milking their almost perfected POP Sailing Again - Trafalgar Law and the popularity of the character. MegaHouse announced the re-release of this POP for the third time. Reasons are obvious though. Demands are quite high, so it's all about the profit.

Sure it's nice for everyone to get their own copy of this awesome POP. But then again, how about for us who already got our own copy. It's already annoying that the collector's value of this POP drops everytime it is re-released (see what happened to POP Sailing Again - Princess Shirahoshi), not to mention that the second release was just about two months ago. So at least give us something that would excite us, like another new POP aside from Trafalgar Law.

We're all waiting for some new announcements like POP MAS - Marco the Phoenix and etc. that were shown during the recent exhibits. There's even a version 2 of POP Sailing Again - Trafalgar Law that was revealed at the Jump Festa 2014 event. Why not that instead? Well, I'll just think of this as a break for too many POP releases on the first quarter of the year alone, and a break for my wallet as well.

For those who doesn't have this POP yet, (and I'm asking you what's holding you back from getting your own copy), this is your third chance. No re-release date and pricing announced yet (it's probably the same price of previous releases). Preorders starts next Thursday, 16th of January 2014 at 18:00 (JST).

Update: Release date is May 2014 and will retail for the price of 8,000 yen (inclusive of tax).
