You gotta remember that PREMIUM BANDAI also means MADE TO ORDER.

Sure they have the resources to make them, but what's the point in making a bunch of DX lock seeds that not everyone would buy? It's a lot more beneficial for them to produce Gashapons because of their composition.

That, and for OOO, I feel that the argument of him having 3 Locks is cause of the popularity of his TaJaDor Combo. I mean, they released the Ankh Lock Seed before it, so it was bound to happen that his popular Red Combo (Which was also the last combo he used in his show's run) would be made. And I'm glad they did make it! (hugs his LED TaJaDor Lock Seed)

This. If albeit unfortunate, the average DX lockseed is $20 and that's on a mass produced level. I doubt many would really want to pay 360+ USD for this set.

The actual retail for DX Lock Seeds is around 1600-1800, which is at the last time I checked the exchange rate $15-17. So more like a $276-311 value before shipping. Better off making a Gashapon which people only really pay 400-500 yen each, bar the rare 1/50 LED gashapon versions which sell from anywhere from 1200-2000yen on Mandarake
