If they thought of it as a failure like everyone thinks they do, it'd have suffered the same fate as Go-Busters and been ignored completely after its run was over, apart from the obligatory crossover movie.

The reason Gaim items are hard to get a hold of is because the previous season did badly. The reason Drive's are so easy to get is because Gaim did well. Bandai are constantly over or under producing toys based on the previous year, it's a pretty clear trend.

Figuarts are totally different though and don't seem to rely on how well the season itself did, just how well other Figuarts from the same line do and there's probably a reason most Gaim releases were exclusives before other seasons took priority completely.
