Stop pulling crap out of your behind.

High prices have never stopped people from buying high-end G&P models like the SPR/A, VFC guns, STAR, TOP and CA SAW or even Systema PTWs. And the gun isn't even that expensive, it's listed at $750 on 007, more than enough people spend that on a stock TM AK47 + wood kit + basic upgrades.

The stick battery might be annoying, that has never stopped people from buying guns either. There are guys with M4 RIS settling for AN/PEQ battery box, crane stock with battery compartments, battery bags, and the weird battery in the Star L85/86 has never stopped people from buying what they like.

The gun just came out a little over a month ago, most retailers aren't even carrying it yet in Canada. At most you can just blame it on the real Type 89 not being a popular model since it's mainly used by the Jap army. I would buy one just for the mechanical 3-round burst, but I got my eye set on the CA-SG1.
