It might be an issue of how productive Bandai is. Revell or someone might have let the situation slide with FM because they were so slow in rolling out new kits (though I can't remember how long it took FM to get the first few kits after the X-wing), but others may see the writing on the wall. How many kits will Bandai have out by the end of the first year? More than FM ever had. Between kits, with FM operating like the CIA, discussions broke out several times that there would be no more, that FM loss the license, that this kit or that was the last ever. Remember the MF fetching $600 the first time it was off the market for a while? Someone's sitting around thinking, we should have said something about FM kits being virtually available everywhere--we really got to stop Bandai. Can't blame them.How is this any different than when fine molds had the license?
And then all of this is premature until people start seeing they can't order them. What would that look like? You can't see the kits listed in the non-Asian language versions of the website? When you put in your shipping address? A later e-mail that your order was cancelled? And I'm actually serious--what would be the sign that you can't order the kits?
