Comiket… XD



Comiket experience in “Lucky Star” XD
Bandai had put out yet another announcement of an item shrouded with uncertainty, which is not as mysterious than that new Gundam brand coming in July next year in my opinion. Read on to know why ^^;
This time it’s a new merchandise from “Macross Frontier The False Songstress”, to be developed by Bandai Premium.
Bandai Premium is even kind enough to ask you to take a survey and predict what it’s going to be. The purpose of this survey is to help the company in future product development.
Four options given: apparels, figures, collectibles and food. No options of either “Others” or “Who cares, you are going to ignore my choice anyway” provided. So I suppose the so called new item is definitely among the four then? ^^; We can limit our imagination to those four categories now.
Plus, since it’s likely to become a Bandai Premium limited item, I wonder how many international fans would bother about it anyway. ^^;
Information is from Bandai Premium.
