And I think this is something that should absolutely not be ignored or made light of. In fact I'm a little bit upset that half of the article is just talking about the Gundam statue with no relation to the crime that was committed. Does anybody else realize that this could be the reason Bandai has been essentially price gouging for the past several years? Perhaps they thought that they were losing Revenue because they had to devote so much to the Statue projects, so they've been hiking prices and changing how the premium Bandai service works. You know. The thing that every single one of you whoever writes comments here has been complaining over and make jokes about and memes about. But nobody's really been taking it seriously. Nobody has been speaking about this in a serious enough way to make band I realize that the fans are unhappy. I've been saying this for years. P Bandai is not what it used to be and there has been no outward explanation for it oh, but now that the shameful actions of these two men has come to light I think the company has a lot to answer for. I think it's time they stopped hiding behind aesthetic sense of corporate attachments and under estimating their International audience. I think it's time they realized it's okay to actually engage with the people who purchase your products, to actually show them what it's like behind the scenes. Consumers are not nearly as dumb as people think they are... Well, I can only speak for some of us. But we are living in an age where hobbyists and collectors have a lot more knowledge of manufacturing and design techniques and processes and practices than people give them credit for. I've seen it first-hand. There needs to be less complaining, more communication, and a lot more understanding on all sides of the equation.Dex Antareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280295246367196709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843776878474871717.post-52109580094070666352019-01-21T15:35:48.041-05:002019-01-21T15:35:48.041-05:00Welp.
