Point being, Bandai no longer has the luxury of shotgunning releases. They have to be SMART about what they release, and when. Though the "When" seems to be an issue, such as not releasing items for the current series until nearly halfway through the original airing, but the point still stands.

Wow I forgot about the economical stuff that happen in Japan. But you know they seem to not mind the many repaints of the star wars sandtrooper. I think they just open preorder for third or fourth with armed or something? What would you have to say about bandai making that choice? It seem weird to me.
