From Gunota: Random Gunpla facts & figures
Nikkei Business Online has been posting a series of discussions with Bandai Hobby Division's Deputy General Manager & Bandai Hobby Center chief Katsuhiko Sasaki. The second one focuses on his work as a manager and the people who support the Gunpla market.
- Development of a plamodel takes 120-150 days from design to shipping out. They plan on optimizing this to 100 days.
- The plamodel market exceeds 50 billion yen in value.
- Said market is such that even 10-year-old products can be manufactured and sold with repeated demand. The ratio of sales for new products vs. old products is roughly 50-50.
- The people who buy Gunpla can be largely divided into two groups: 14-year-olds who purchase them because of their interest in the newest Gundam on TV and 35-year-olds who've been fans since First Gundam. Gunpla has been particularly sustained by the latter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who says that gunplas are for children and teens only?

Woohoo! Despite the recent age boost, I'm still within the range of 18 to 35.

somehow, the musha seems a bit drag compared to how it looked like in the GFF. wished the gold parts are plated like the silver one.
i'm back guys. was busy for the last couple of weeks since i had to take care of my papers to bangkok (where my new work kinda had me assigned right now). will be here definitely for more than a year. i hope i can find out where the hobby shops are around here. i need my gundam fix =p
