    Ah yes, the big three get their combat units in retail, while the Burion unit gets shoved into Premium despite being the first one we saw in the series. The HG Demi Garrison is an extension of Chuchu's Demi Trainer, with slightly different armor and a lot of added weapons that were not seen in the anime. And judging by that, the Garrison does appeal to both people who prefer the combat deployment units and those looking for a lot of weapons. While the charm of the Demis is not lost on it, there is one issue, it's premium.

      I've been wanting a Demi Garrison since it showed up in the first few episodes, and I felt that it'll be an eventuality that it'll get a kit. Because the Demi Trainer is already there, they'll make a kit with the Garrison parts, right?
      and we'll, they did. In Premium format.

      It's the same businessmen mentality as Activision-Blizzard, Disney, etc.
      "If people want this, then they'll be willing to pay no matter the price & hurdles we set for them, right?"
      Absolutely no care for demand research. If you're paying them, they want you to pay the highest price they can set for you.

    • @mj2005gundam

      They put on a facade saying how for the consumers they are, while directly employing anti-consumer practices in their marketing. G-Witch really opened my eyes to what goes in PB, and that's whatever kit that's not from the currently airing thing. Why do you think that all kits from the anime proper post-Calibarn are PB? People would've grabbed this thing, the Gundnode, and Lfrith PP en mass to name a few. Also, why do you think that we get a full year of SEED Freedom in retail (besides some reasonable PB releases) and barely anything else? SEED Freedom is the current thing that's hyped up, and Bandai still tried to push Metaverse despite how much of a failure it is in all stretches of the imagination. Meanwhile, they have poll results that were unfulfilled, many kits the consumers will rather have over the monotony of whatever is the current thing. We'd have a massive catalogue of kits had a lot of them not be Premium Bandai. But no, if you want something that's not part of what's currently airing or hot, you gotta pay double the price at least. It's just ridiculous.

    I like how in anime, This MS only appears like 30 - 50 seconds but only use a Short or Middle Beam Rifle.
    While in Gunpla or model kits, This MS build different a lot by having variant equipment such as Missile Launcher, Quadruple Beam Vulcan, Rocket Bazooka, and Knuckle mode as if this is basically like Gundam Barbatos Lupus who don't even show Variable Mace, Large Railgun, Anti Ship Lance Mace, and New Long Sword in Anime instead in other media.

    • @mj2005gundam
      @mj2005gundam  Месяц назад

      But unlike the Barbatos' weapons which are nice bonuses, the Demi Garrison feels like it should've had those weapons to begin with and Bandai just locked them behind a Premium paywall because they could
