Te merch situation is worst in Japan, 95% is related to Miku or CFM. You pay for export price to get something from Japan. The price is cheaper if the license out production overseas, whichis why Beyblades were so cheap. This created a difference between Japanese and overseas beyblades, those from Europe and Americ were generally a better quality, but Japanese beyblades had better stickers that didn't fade/fall off as easy.

Start hoping someone abroad gets premission to make stuff....
