People need to drop Wing. Regardles sof people's wants/desires it has no business in these discussions right now. Wing has seen long and continued support in both the MG line as well as RD's.
Even as we sit here they are preparing to launch TG and more importantly the Leo Frame which shows an already laid plan for future MG and model releases.
X and OO are a different story. X has had it's second launch and from everything we can see it failed. MG's tend to be more expensive and for a more narrow selection of the Gunpla community and given the After War HG line seems to have been DOA Bandai has good reason to not just throw out MG's of it with reckless abandon.
As for the West/overseas makert you are being incredibly naive to think you know anything about this and what Bandai should/shouldn't do. At one time Gundam Models and toys were a thing here and they didn't just pull out because they felt like trolling the west. It's true that they had issues with some of their stuff, but even still Gundam and it's merch feel off in the west hard and they would need several factors to come together for it be remtoely proftiable to try and regain the market they once had a shot at. Failure could be huge and cost them much more then what they are currently missing out on.
Bandai is well aware of stores and shops such as GG and HLJ. It's obvious you don't have a major in business or evne the slightest clue. You pick you strong markets and you do what you can (via Blu Fin and the like) in niche markets.
