[KochiKame] The mystery of why something unpopular and discontinued becomes desired.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

It’s free to just say it.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

I want it, but I’m not going to buy it.

Are you kidding me?!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

When my dad was alive, he read this turtle.

Certainly, Tamiya’s promotional tanks and the Japanese military were popular, but I was told that nobody knew about GI Joe.

Why would foreign dolls sell in Japan, unless they are made by Japanese people?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>3

At that time, due to the popularity of the American TV show ‘Combat!’ which was also aired in Japan, toys featuring soldiers gained a certain level of popularity. The G.I. Joe, which appeared as an imported product during that period, offered an unprecedented realism and quality for toys of its time, along with a wide range of options that expanded its world, making it a significantly impactful presence for children.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I guess I can just buy it next time…

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

This is something that occasionally happens in the world of radio control and models.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx25

Even though information about what’s being sold doesn’t reach me, for some reason I do receive information about production suspensions.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I couldn’t buy it because I was a child and didn’t have any money, and I wasn’t able to have it bought for me.

I think that might be the case.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Rarity = Money

I honestly understand the feeling of wanting to possess something, even if you don’t try to roll it around and profit from it, which might be considered lowly.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is how the scarcity marketing strategy was born.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a strange feeling to see even commissioned doujinshi skyrocketing in price, if it’s not just something limited to the local area.

Well, there are all kinds of consignment arrangements, that’s for sure.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s because it’s damn expensive.

What I want is also based on the sense of money I had back then.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Figures usually won’t be re-released unless it’s something really special.

Maybe it won’t sell that much even if it’s re-released.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

It’s the law that’s bad, as just holding a mold costs money.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t want it because I don’t know how long I can keep up with a series that keeps going.

I want it because it seems like I could complete the collection if the series is discontinued.

The first one is no longer available.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

We’re reselling it! (It’s a slightly different version.)

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Ryo-tsu’s argument against the need for BD has been realized.

Both Blu-ray and HD DVD are dead.

The era where DVD supplements based on cloud distribution.

You did it, Ryo-san!

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>16

A DVD is enough for the storage medium, right? That’s too insightful!

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>19

I was thinking the same.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

People who read Kochikame back in the day when they were young must have thought that, right…?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Responding to the customers’ voices asking to add this game to the arcade, we pulled this game out from the warehouse.”

I heard that there has never been a good experience with the income.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>17

I was working part-time, but guys like that are satisfied with just one coin and never do it again.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

Rude.

I did about 5 credits.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This is more of Akimoto-sensei’s grumbling than Ryo-san’s words, isn’t it?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It seems like customers start to come out of regret once the decision to close the store is made…

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>21

Is it like sending fan letters after the cancellation has been decided?

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>34

I wish it had lasted longer after the cancellation was decided… I think it’s a feeling of saying I haven’t bought the volumes, though.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

It’s the author of “Hyouge Mono” who complained that praising after “Dokyousei” was canceled means nothing.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Right now, the cheap Nendoroids are fun to play with.

The high-end preference doesn’t operate, but it’s an amazing piece of craftsmanship.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Common ones that happen with cars.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blu-ray doesn’t produce much of a quality image… The evolution of televisions and cameras hasn’t kept up with the evolution of recording density.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

BD isn’t necessarily good quality…

I thought it was like an upgraded version of a DVD…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Disney will also stop selling DVDs.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>33

Sony and Panasonic are still making DVDs.

I think DVDs as recording media will live on for a little while longer.

Both BD are withdrawing.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

It’s a story that Sony started, but they just stopped it…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I believe that translations of American comics and anything other than small publishers are something to be kept with the assumption that they will go out of print.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

In response to fan requests~

It is a flag for sad things to happen.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s common to get hooked later on.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the capacity is large, the picture quality and sound quality are better than DVD.

There are just some fools who are taking advantage of the transition to attack.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

The people who said they wanted it are properly buying it, but there were originally so few people saying they wanted it… it’s like a tragedy.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>39

Is that exactly what Powerpoke R is?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

Nobody is saying they want a remake of 1 and 2!

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>41

Looking at the sales, I think there were various issues because it sold the number of units it should have.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

It seems that Power Poké R sold 80,000 copies according to a Famitsu survey.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

A case where an attempt to make a sequel through crowdfunding fails due to high fan demand.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s because of its rarity that I want it, and if the rarity diminishes through reselling or other means, then I don’t want it.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Right now, it’s highly unlikely unless something really extreme happens, but back then, there might have been a wait for a fire sale.

It seems likely to end after falling on the first shot.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

What will happen to the physical version of the game?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

Boxes and discs can be a hassle… Downloading is fine!

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>54

I thought I should get Scarlet later since there was a duplication bug in Pokémon SV, so I bought a physical copy.

You can’t change the version in DL.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Anonymous people say that right away, don’t they?

Why didn’t you tell me right after the great campaign ended?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are similar things not only with toys but also with web serialized manga.

I’ve often seen people saying that they should have bought the tankobon because, while there are many comments saying it’s interesting, it ended up abruptly like it was canceled.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

Well, if there are people who think it’s not worth paying in the end, then that’s the way it is.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that feeling of wanting something even more when you can no longer buy it… I understand…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

It’s fine if that’s all, but there are some kids who start criticizing the seller, which is annoying.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Streaming is placing a burden on the network carriers, so it seems likely to collapse eventually.

The popular game’s large-scale update has temporarily resulted in network congestion, which is ridiculous.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a story about the ghost of a gunpla of Dan battle reaching Yamada Denki.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Streaming is convenient and good, but if it’s a slightly underrated classic from the past, it often doesn’t get released for streaming.

Depending on the source of the distribution, there may be cases with quality worse than DVD, so I want the recording medium itself.

I think the poor performance of Blu-ray is also influenced by the strict regulations for content protection and the incompatibility with PCs.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think you can say that DVD quality is enough after watching it on an FHD TV.

If it looks completely clean, that’s probably because the TV’s built-in upconversion is working.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

People who say they want ports or remasters of old games but don’t buy them when they are released.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

If you enjoyed it enough to clear it, you usually remember it, so do you really end up buying it?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>No.1283196565

Although its popularity has increased through Orgahn and Super Robot Wars

To be honest, if you want to watch it legitimately, they demand a lot of money that you really don’t want to pay.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

I got excited about the productization of the Kabuto Borg Resurrection Tomcat Red Beetle, but then I remembered it was limited to random inclusion, and I was disappointed.

Sometimes the seller can be bad.
