>>6815960I remember reading that the reasoning behind the restrictiveness of p-bandai and similar exclusive lines has to do with Japanese businesses having a lot of hang ups and obsession over maintaining the exclusiveness of their exclusive items. They don't open the shop up to a wider market because they don't want to water down the exclusiveness or percieved value of the lines image and getting them to change their thinking is like trying the force a stubborn elephant through a door. Its like this for all their exclusive releases, not just p-bandai. Remember that hobby pro shop thing where its kits were only being sold in select physical hobbyshops in Japan?
