I'm sure they know there is a demand for these toys outside of Japan. But these things are not intended for export. From a business standpoint, Bandai's primary responsibility is to their domestic consumers. Foreign sales, I imagine, must be a bit of a mixed blessing and probably accounts for a relatively small percentage of product moved.

As for announcing the details of the campaigns, I expect that it's probably in one of the advertisements for the darn things somewhere. It might even be direct, in-store promotional materials. I'm sure the intended market gets the details they need.
