Literally who
>>14490631
So he is the one to thank for the overpriced kits.

Don't worry, next year it will be

>Wing, 00, unicorn and IBO have strong selling power
But what about G reco?
>>14490688
"lol"
>>14490669
It'll stop when people stop having nostalgia for it.
>>14490688
>ANN
>mentioning G-Reco in a positive light
They even made a fucking article shitting on it.
>>14490688
They should post this in the forums. IBO's current average is below G-Reco's now (8.9k)
>>14490731
>Cross Ange
To think that Fukuda still believes it can become famous.
>>14490731
But what about the gunpla?
Those the important numbers. BD sales are just an extra.
>>14490756
Ask Bandai since they don't realease them. IBO did well in that department
>>14490731
Going off that chart, G-Reco's average is only better if you count all G-Reco volumes versus those yet out of IBO. Which seems a tad unbiased. IBO still has a buffer if you count volume for volume if I'm reading that right, though not by much and if sales don't even out it'll drop below it by the end.
>>14490756
We don't and never will have hard numbers on the gunpla sales.
>>14490640
>>14490655
Its fucking derringer
>>14492424
Really?
>IBO
Why do americans have such shit taste?
>>14493490
Because IBO is a serious show that deals with important real-world issues in a mature way.
>>14492924
Derringer is in charge of gunpla in the u.s. This guy interviewed is in charge of gunpla in the u.s. So it is either same guy or derringer a fake.
>>14493876
>This guy interviewed is in charge of gunpla in the u.s.
So there is only ONE guy working? That is the very definition of dedication.
>>14493876
>derringer a fake.
This has been confirmed for a long time.
>>14493530
Wait for another 4 weeks
Lots of interesting stuff here, but
>US is the biggest market for Gunpla outside Asia
is probably the biggest. Cool that Gunpla's expanding the way it is here.
Also, anyone have an idea who they could be talking about with the "big retailer" they're in talks with? Toys R Us? Target? Walmart? Not that it matters much to me because getting them online is easier, but still.
>>14497638
That's the thing. Status.
Yes, you'll get better selection online and more easily, but it's always a good sign when/if kits are getting the sort of mass-market effort to put them in retailers like those.
>>14493490
IBO was pretty much set up to be western gundam.
