If marketing tactics haven't changed since I last laid my eyes on a book on
the subject, I believe this is a test phase - so there's nothing to worry
about.
Shelf space is expensive in these stores - so I don't think Bandai will go
all out yet to purchase good shelf space until the Gundam Wing series
starts. I think they're just testing initial reactions to the packaging,
prime locations and passerby looks - finding out what works and what
doesn't.
Wait a while - the Gundam wave in the US will come as soon as the show hits
on cable. Pokemon will become a distant memory soon...
