I have tried this a few times and came up with squat. I think most of them got trashed, but I am sure a few cases may have survived somewhere. The problem now is that Bandai and Namco merged into one. I sent them several emails and don't get much of a responce, pretty much blowing me off. If you could find some old Woolworths manager they might be able to tell you more, but I doubt. They probably just got orders from there supplier to remove them from the shelves, and they done it, they prob. didnt know or care why they were doing it. It will be the ultimate haul when someone finds a case of them sealed one day...
