Popularity is not so much the issue, I think. The US market mostly tries to tempt people into paying [full price] when the game drops by giving them cheap free swag, rather than have them pay more for exclusive items. The pre-order bonuses for US games are usually pretty small potatoes; nice art sometimes, like posters or cards or a little bonus book, but not usually stuff like figures or toys. Once in awhile there is some big deal thing and it costs more for an LE version, but it's the exception not the rule. Oh well! I'll just drool on your figure. :)
