Anbu-of-Sand Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Galaxyeyes Photon Dragon? The name makes me think it's going to be a trolling sort of card to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNo.101 S.H. Death Knight Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm finding just weird why they proceeding too fast and we haven't even begun the zeal series and other cards in 5D's have yet to release as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaouJudai Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 all of this comes on the heels of the lawsuit with 4kids? This is a disturbing sign of things to come. Over saturation of the market will cause their product's value to plummet. If this were a stock market this is a sure sign that you should be unloading your shares of this companies stock because it's the sign of a drowning man - doing what he knows how to do - panic and flail his arms except in this case it's a company and their bottom line is suffering (Bakugan?) and they're desperate to gain more market share but putting out a new show so quickly and shotgunning several associated product releases only tells how desperate they really are. Shueisha can always find a new distributor for the TCG. We've already had Bandai. Hmmmm maybe Nintendo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 3-month gap. We're just getting info way too fast. Also... I'm fairly sure the lawsuit with 4Kids is a TV Tokyo issue. Even if it's not, it has nothing to do with the cards.

HaouJudai Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 The show and the card game have a symbiotic economic relationship. If there's no show the sales of boosters will plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The dub's crazy-far behind anyways, lol. The pack advertisements are spoilers for people who don't watch it subbed.) In any case, they're not flailing all over, they seem to be releasing at the normal rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaouJudai Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 The flailing is the beating they are taking in their own marketing demographic by marketing giants like bakugan - Baku is nothing more than a spinning top game and it's DESTROYING yugioh thanks to a relentless marketing campaign. Their answer to combat this was slap some bakugan paint on a new main character and pump out a massive product blitz on the market - it's a desperate tactic that I just don't see working. Konami has the worst marketing budget I've ever seen in my life and now they are paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, it appears to be the regular space of time in between sets, we're just getting info early. ...Wait, Bakugan's actually not failing miserably?

HaouJudai Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I hope Bakugan fails miserably - and a product blitz is exactly what konami is doing. Instead of a proper marketing campaign which costs a lot of money. What we get are those commercial shorts which you'll notice have just recently began appearing on shows that have a kid demographic to include nickelodeon. I'll be glad to be wrong on this matter. But what I am seeing is a company displaying some very troubling economic signs. Go back and compare the release of Yugioh GX (yay!) to Yugioh 5Ds to Zexal and see what you think. If they acted the same on each occasion I will admit I'm wrong on this suspicion. These releases seem 'rushed' lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the releases here are also still coming at the same pace, just with earlier announcements.
