I thought it would be a good time to start a thread about Bandai.
In the spirit of the "why do you hate GERWALK so much?" thread I thought it would be funny to put a Bandai one.
So why do you hate Bandai? What did they ever do to you? Are you all jealous of Gundam or something because it is more popular with more robots to buy?
My reasons:
-their toys of the macross shows are harder to get despite being cheaper on release. It's almost like they sell the toys to the scalpers instead of customers or something.
-The toys should be packed with the super parts but they are not and require you having to hunt it down. Ridiculous. I hate having to hunt stuff. Just let me order it like any other toy.
-They only do non-risky stuff from the popular shows. (and only focus on heroes - look how long it took to give us the vf-171 CF)
-They cancelled HiMetal.
Those are the reasons I hate Bandai. Why do you hate them? If you don't hate them how come you don't? They actually make it hard for you to give them your money. What kind of a business is that?
Where the hell is Ozma VF-25S re-issue for instance? He is popular character but no announcement in sight. Don't fans of macross frontier have any way of communicating their needs to bandai so they can give out responses? At least Arcadia/Yamato responds to stuff and cares how fans are reacting.
When the YF-30 comes out I will dread the thought of having to stay up all night to order this. I only realy half want it because of that. Isn't there a simpler way to get it similar to how arcadia do it where you just preorder the item without having to stay up? I like the toys they make but do not like the whole hunting aspect of the collecting.
