That's a shame. Maybe it's excessive violence is excluding younger viewers?

Otherwise The Big Bang Theory would be worth watching.

No truer words spoken.

Yup. If models are selling the show could be the biggest piece of shit ever and it'd be no problem.

Just look at how many Build Figh... I mean SEED kits they make.

Not even remotely true. Most Gundam collectors don't even buy models of just the shows they like. Hell, I hate Gundam Wing, and own seven Master Grades from it.

Shows never impact toy sales, it's the opposite. Poor toy sales lead to cancellations, as shows are, financially speaking, merely advertisments. But toys can stand on their own, they're what make the actual money, and what can be appreciated standalone.

Classy. Dunno about you guys, but I love spending hours of work on something I like and then having people literally compare it to shit.

To be fair, I prefer the regular Fenice anyway.

We agree on that, at least.
