I accidentally learned about this yesterday, searching for Bandai stuff on Youtube.

I wonder what the primary market for Bandai is, if it is only Japan, or if they are selling their kits in maybe Europe or North America (or elsewhere).

With their Star Wars model kits distribution...

• Japan / Asia - Bandai
• North America - Bluefin Distribution offers select Bandai Star Wars model kits to retailers
• Europe - Revell Germany will begin selling select Bandai Star Wars model kits beginning end-of-March / April 2019

Hope this helps.
