Or just a polite way of saying there won't be anymore figs to be sold anymore.
Amiami is supposedly the largest online JP store. Just a day after the report of recall, their GodFireconvoy stocks which were aplenty is now "not available"
hlj is order stop
hobbysearch is "sold out"
The last two have limited quantities in their catalog( no offense intended for the two as they are my go to suppliers if the first fails)
The first one, Amiami going "unavailable" in just a day after the recall rumor....very interesting.
A bit of tough love towards Takara. The QC supervisor for this project needs to commit sepuku for this clusterf'ck! This reminds me of Yamato's exploding shoulders in their 1/60 Valkyries due to the misplaced pins. Only this one, concerning the electronics, misassembled parts, mold degradation(?) is like x 3 clusterf'ck!
Will this be a big write off on their part? Y 30,000 a unit is no laughing matter! What is the % of the lemons sold?
Not every stock will be sold for a flat Y30,000 ( give or take their domestic TAXES). So just round it off to Y 30,000. Then, multiply that by 10,000 units which let say is Takara's minimum manufacturing capacity ( 5,000 is a yardstick for a small company consider it a profit for a figure release in Japan)
The total would be Y 300,000,000 or US$ 2,800,000+
If the target was 20,000 units sold, that would be US$ 5,600,000+
This is a big ouch if the lemons are more than 10%!
I hope this won't affect Takara's financial ability to make more of our plastic crack!
