It's a lose lose.

I don't think this is a "move"... the impression I get is this... Honest_Hippo was the one driving the pins and keeping this whole thing on track... when Double Helix was removed as the developer, and HH was re-assigned this whole thing fell into disorder.
IIRC the KI Fight stick was supposed to be a 1-off special pin just for PAX, NOT part of the Ultimate Edition... but then without anyone making sure things were getting done properly they were left without a proper challenge and just decided to use the KI fight-stick at PAX to fill the gap...
This is pure speculation on my part but having followed HH's tweets and other stuff regarding the pins I think it's possible that's what happened.

I was waiting for the March pin discount code but hasn't arrived yet so decided to buy the Glacius and Supreme pins instead of waiting to combine the orders to save on shipping.

I'm holding out for the leftovers too but I do believe they will be actual LEFTOVERS and not a full run based on what I mentioned above... Again, I hope I'm wrong
If anyone checks the store and see the KI Fight stick up please post up to let everyone else here know... I know I'll post as soon as I see it.
I haven't got the March code yet either... and I think the fact that it hasn't gone out yet, again has to do with the whole HH thing.
