bandai knows recording tv shows for their merchandise

[Clocktower]

They obviously know about it, I'm just not sure they know how much of the toys people are importing. Blufin obviously have some idea and they probably help a lot, but their sales are cannibalised by people still just importing from Amiami and the likes and the import sales numbers from those sites aren't reported back to Bandai.

I'm not pretending we come close to the Japanese market, of course. Just that it'd probably be at least worth their time to allow international shipping from their sites, similar to what Figma does. They'd make a bigger profit themselves, instead of allowing the middlemen to take advantage of things.
