Only if you blatantly ignore the posts that are not complaints. You know, like my entire post about the PR Lightning Collection and the recent Marvel Legends I acquired.

Mostly because collectors don’t care for anything non-Heisei apparently.

They won't know if they don't do anything. The fact that some bootlegger made a Showa Ghidorah in MonsterArts style is quite saddening. I shouldn't have to resort to a bootlegger to get my Showa fix.

A lot more. Mostly because there are a lot more Iron Man armors than there are Thor and Black Widow designs.

Fair enough.

Boba Fett, last week.

I did not know they released him. Thanks for the info.

Because the Showa Ultraman era is long over, and the only way you're selling specific characters and monsters based on it is nostalgia.

Nostalgia only works though if you actually grew up with those shows. I am pretty much new to the Ultraman franchise, so I have no nostalgia for the shows.

Hopefully thoug the Mill Creek BDs coming out over the next few months will sell well enough to get Bandai to realize there is a market they are sorely missing out on.

You'd be surprised how many people are perfectly fine with only owning the poster boy of their favorite franchise.

I see what you mean, I just don't get it then. Who the hell wants to have Ledouche without Sazaku, C2, Kallen, etc? Okay, maybe some, as you say, but me, nope. I hate that Lelouch figure because I have no one to go with him. I tossed him in a container that is in the closet because he does me no good by himself.

Probably the Phantoms. And they were the last ones for a reason: Both the Zodiarts and the Phantoms sold abysmally. Most are available for bargain sale prices to this very day. No one wanted them.

Most of those were part of the Zero line though, which defies the whole point of having them at all. I hate the King Dopant dude becuase I can't do jackshit with him. At this point I only kept him because he was the main villain to W.

Many people, including me. They buy the Red Ranger and the Sixth Ranger because they are the most unique and then skip the rest, mostly since the costumes are too identical to warrant a purchase of such a high number of expensive collectibles.

See, if you are a fan of the series, you're going to want the whole team. My Dairanger collection sucks ass only having Ryu Ranger and Kiba Ranger in it. If Dairanger wasn't my favorite Sentai series, I'd totally dump them.

Hasbro actually knows this, which is why they’re releasing single members from multiple teams in each wave instead of pumping out full teams every half a year.

Except they are still working towards getting full teams completed.

Quote:

By offering a boxset for the combined price of all figures you lose the only reliable costumers you had to begin with: Those who pick and choose. They can’t possibly make a profit from a 200-300$ boxset.

They would never know because they never bothered to try. Also, clearly the Sentai customers weren't reliable to begin with since they weren't buying the figures anyway.
