Well, I don't know their reasons why. I'm usually the last one to know that stuff. However, I can tell you the last few Shippuuden repros that have come out have been preorders only. So maybe they are trying something new?
There aren't too many Shippuuden ones I'd want yet as Sasuke hasn't been in that much of it . . . yet.
I wish I knew what the deal was. I check almost daily in hopes they start releasing normal ones again. I'm so sick of these boring ones that are out right now. I'm ready for eps again and nice quality shots again.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
