>>8252968>I mean, if it's selling out in 3 minutes, that might be a sign that there's enough demand that they could sell more than 2000 units. Doesn't really make any sense. The point of a limited item is that it has a short production run and doesn't clog up the pipeline, and it creates some excitement and collectability for fans.
>They don't have to go apeshit making them mass releases, but even doing another 500 or so and setting aside a couple hundred for the foreign market through Amazon or Amiami or something would probably make a significant differenceTheir focus isn't on the Western market. Why would they go through the extra effort of setting aside a tiny handful of toys and shipping them to Amazon customers when they could move the exact same amount of toys locally in 1/100th the time?
> If you try so hard to make things "limited" that buyers only have a three-minute window to get them, people will move on to something easier to collect.Sure, some people might move on to something else because they are so upset that they'll never have the Green DIO released at a comicon 4 years ago that they stop collecting in a huff. Who cares?
