As much as I'm getting sick of people beating that particular horse, even I got a chuckle out of that one.

I just can't get all that upset about Build not coming with the Drill Crusher. The weapon is ugly as hell, and I'm not sure I could bring myself to display the figure with it. The other reason is the price: the price is so low *because* he's light on non-hand accessories. He's probably light on hands, for that matter. From the preview pictures, I'm only sure I'm seeing two sets of non-fist hands. I'm glad one of them is expressive/character-specific. I hope he'll come with a hand to grasp the handle on the Build Driver, but it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't.
That... brings up something of a question, now that I think of it. With other Riders, Bandai has sometimes included additional hands in other releases, but all of Build's forms change colors. Maybe an appropriate hand might come with the bike? I also can't really see Figuarts delving that deeply into Build's forms, given that there are just so many of them, and given that Bandai (probably wisely) skipped so many inessential Ex-Aid forms. I'm confident we'll see Claws and BloodStalk, but less confident that we'll see many of Build's early forms. I could see HawkGatling or NinninComic, but I doubt both. Then again, I expect sales of Build will determine what else they're willing to risk producing. As to NightRogue... man, now that I've seen that comparison... Yeah. NightRogue resembles an early Figuarts entry. Let's hope that what we've seen is a prototype. |

This is not the case. The low price is purely a promotional thing to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. Throwing in a single accessory would not have caused the price to rise 2000 yen. They're just being cheap.

Bandai just needs to make an SS Kiva and watch the money flow in....

Sucks his drill sword is not part of the deal but I hope to get him and Claws. If not all the psuedo-riders of Faust including Night Rogue and Blood Stark.

Bandai is just going the drive route with build weapons. They most likely come with a form that will be webshop.

Drive I could kind of understand since the sword makes its first appearance around the time Type Wild becomes a thing, it didn't exist until then as it was being constructed, but Build literally holds the Drill Crusher in his hand the first time we see him on screen in his own show, and he uses the gun configuration in episode 2 I believe. Good for you if you don't care about that, but trying to find a reason other than Tamashii screwing you over so that you buy the other forms which will most likely include this stuff is laughable.

Same principle as those mail-away magazines with figures or model kit parts included, buy the first one for a steal and then realize that every following issue is twice or triple the price. |

Depending on if you specifically mean Build or Sento, he used it in Episode 1 while chasing down Ryuga
