Fellow valkaholics,
I've read on this board that the reason Bandai abandoned their reissues because Macross is not popular in Japan. Is this really, really, true? Come to think of it, the explanation doesn't jive. Yamato's main product line is Macross. Their valkyrie transformation manual is not bilingual because, according to Quadrono639, the toys are meant only for Japanese customers, and that their income from exports is marginal. Now if Macross is a truly dull market in Japan, Yamato would not have prospered to these days.
I believe Macross is very popular, in and outside of Japan. Bandai's decision to not continue with the reissues is due to something else. Otherwise, I say, bring on the reissues! If old mold causes Bandai to be less competitive, then they need to redesign.
How do you feel about it?
