Well, lets be real, while FFVII is arguably the most popular FF series, that doesn't apply to all its characters, in popularity polls, Barret is most of the time around the lower middle part, sometimes even lower/bottom part, SE knows he isn't popular so they probably only made based on how many preorders they have plus a few to be sold in stores so maybe only few of him are made similar to what I heard for FFIX's Bring Arts Freya and Beatrix set, only few of them are made thus after selling out in stores, they rise up in price in the aftermarket, SE knows Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Sephiroth sells well so they reissued them asap(Sephiroth 1st release wasn't even out yet when a reissue was announced), Barret on the other hand, they know he isn't that popular, its highly unlikely they will reissue him, I can be wrong though and they do reissue him in the future but for now, collectors/fans are stuck waiting for someone to offload his/her Barret, he rarely pops up in JP Marcari and Ebay
