The market has evolved is the answer if I had to guess. Releasing these figures has gotten more expensive, both for them and for us, so you can’t crank out a Rider figure every month anymore. Plus, they have much, much more licenses nowadays and a bigger audience, you need to cover these bases as much as possible if you want to make a profit.

Is that an explanation for how we still don’t have Build Genius? No. But it would explain why ongoing shows can’t be covered like they used to.

I do think it sucks though; Saber has some cool designs like Buster, Sabela or the new trident-dude, but good luck ever getting those. I feel like they'll never happen.

Another thing that I have noticed, them dragging their feet makes me less interested in their releases. They showed Dark Kiva in like what, October 2019? It will be up for pre-order this week, but after waiting nearly 2 years I'm like... I don’t want it anymore. Don’t care enough. I would’ve ordered it immediately back in the day but after waiting for so long I had enough time to decide that I don’t need it.
