Rideron is up for pre-order on Anime Island for $129.99 for the people who miss out on the Ami Ami pre-orders.

Electronics and other features probably. Tridoron has lights and stuff and the cockpit can separate with extra stands and everything. Ridoron is is just like the bikes, but as a car. Plastic, diecast, a little gimmick, that's it.
So I think it's because the Ridoron is easier to produce, and a better way to test the waters on how these things will sell without risking too much. |

That has nothing to do with anything man. THey dont make particular items mass retail releases in Japan so they can be released here. Or that logic would have been applied to a multitude of general releases that have never come here. Please don't make random inferences like that.
It's a retail release over that for much the same reason that Black RX is getting the premium blu-ray box set treatment, because Black and by extension RX were hugely popular and still are to this day.

By that logic, we wouldn't have gotten the rest of the Zyurangers or any of the Sailor scouts that were exclusives in Japan (not to mention all the DBZ releases as well). lol

Again with this argument guys?
If you want Rideron that badly there's nothing stopping you from oh I don't know....importing it directly from Japan from an online retailer or anything. When has something not being carried by BluFin stopped us in the past? |

(Well, okay, that was more people waiting on a non-insane price / Bluefin import, and realizing too late that dealing with import fees was the only option. Well, and hadn't the ordering period for Shin Zangetsu passed by the time those of us watching the show learned it was a must-have on par with the base forms of Gaim and Baron.) But that's kind of a flip answer on my part, and I don't necessarily think you're wrong. |

I got Mach from Ami Ami, and I pre-ordered Knuckle too. I can't wait for both of them.
