>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have a lot of complaints about the way Bandai handles Gundam in North America. Sometimes it feels as if they don't want the money we're willing to give them. SquarEnix is much the same way. Anecdotally, at Rising Sun Creations here in SD, there was once a Japanese clerk who told Steve, when he asked about Moogle dolls, that they no longer carried them because "they sold out too fast". Fortunately, she vanished and Moogle dolls appeared. Is there some Japanese aversion to supply and demand? >>>>>>>>>>>>
I think they do want our money. But unfortunately they also want the money of other consumers who don't want to give it to them. While we may be a vocal group we are also a small group. I find the best way to introduce newbies to Gundam is to get them to actually try building HGUC, or better, kits. They like the feeling of accomplishment they get when putting together a well designed and engineered kit. Putting together one of those No Grade G Gundam kits, or Seed kits, leaves them unimpressed. -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
