Crap, Biollante is ¥30000. December 2020 release.

Beats the original’s aftermarket price of course, but man that’s a lot of cash. I doubt it'll come around a third time though so I'll bite the bullet.

We surely didn't end up in this situation because these figures were hot sellers. If they would’ve done well the first time around we would see more.

You can’t realistically ask a company to do something when their data clearly indicates it’s a bad idea. So they're playing it safe until they test the waters again in the future.

Yeah I guess the people whose products sell out in seconds really don’t know how to do this stuff. They should ask that one guy in the US who always bitches and moans about Super Sentai figures for help.

Never mind the "keep saying it”, when did they say this in the first place? Source?

It’s the truth obviously, but I doubt Tamashii took the time to openly state what license sold like crap.

No one was buying a complete team because aside from a handful of diehard fans, no one cared about picking up the same figure 5 times. People resorted to buying Reds and Sixth guys, and at the tail end of the line even those sold absolutely awful. Kyoryu Red did so poorly he was at the bottom of the bin at just about every website that sold these things. He ended up as custom fodder most of the time, and even then it took years and years before he went out of stock.

These figures didn't sell well, so they stopped doing them. It’s the same answer every single time you bring this up, might as well accept it someday.
