Since my only other CSM is the Arcle and I preordered the normal set with everything, does the belt use AAAs or AAs?

I’ll point out that the recognition system is a bit better than the DX version.
For comparison, on the DX, taking the faceplate off defaulted to Gaim’s standby. Here, it stays with the settings for the last faceplate that was inserted. |

I've preordered the main belt set and Baron Lockseeds. Looking at some videos, it's clearly getting harder to improve on the DX versions as they get to more recent series. There's some improvement to the DX, but if I had the DX it'd be harder to justify getting the CSM version. Still, since I don't have a Sengoku Driver yet, this looks like a pretty definitive one to have. |

Alright, the CSM Sengoku Driver is now out. So... major differences from the DX release:-
- The driver is done in a cleaner matte finish - Like a billion voice clips activated by the upper left button - The belt itself is of course longer, and there's an optional gray one to replicate the Kurokage Troopers - The lower right button replicates Suika Arms' mode noises - A bonus easter egg 'nutrition replenishment' mode, which does a single minor sound with the Lockseeds The more significant upgrades are with the Lockseeds themselves:- - More accurate to the props, having opaque parts rather than transparent with the same matte finish as the Driver - A much much clearer speaker - The activation noise now includes a zipper sound clip to replicate the Arms appearing in the show - The Kiwami Lockseed is now much more comprehensive, including sounds for every movie and V-cinema weapon such as the Saver Arrow and Ringo Reflector Overall... there’s some neat stuff here, and the difference on the Lockseeds is very notable where you might wanna get a Lockseed set or two for your favourite Riders; but I would genuinely just buy an original DX or 20th re-release with a belt extension. The thing is that since at least Wizard the DX belts have been made to be a LOT more accurate to the show that there's not much a CSM could really do; and unlike Decade, W or OOO where a big draw was a far more comprehensive set of gimmick items and sounds... the Lockseeds have always been electronic with the Driver doing little on its own, so that was never a worry for Gaim and they tended to release every new Lockseed anyway. There’s just very very little new on the Driver itself to justify spending so much on it unless you’re completely obsessed with Gaim. - Shorten the start of the henshin. - Turn the henshin into an Arms change. - Turn on the "Lock Off" sound after removing a Lockseed. - Turn off the "Lock On" sound and standby music after inserting a Lockseed. That last one solves my one major, major gripe with the Sengoku Driver. Combined with the fact that the Lockseeds remember that you're henshined if you don't close the lid (HOLY CRAP!), you can actually replace a Lockseed onto the Driver (after inserting into a weapon, etc...) WITHOUT HAVING TO HENSHIN AGAIN!!! I absolutely cannot believe how crazy the attention to detail is on this thing. You can even CUSTOMIZE THE CUTTING SOUND! See 14:51 of this review: |

Kureshima set announced. Pre-orders start April 6th, though nothing yet on price nor contents -- all they show is Zangetsu Kachidoki

Kureshima set, so it'd likely include Ryugen as well. So, faceplates for both of them, Kachidoki Melon, Budou, Kiwi(?), and Yomi.

At last the Shin Kachidoki Lockseed is coming out! I always wonder if you could put the Kiwami Lockseed in it and now I can finally get the answer I been waiting for!

You can’t. It doesn’t have the keyhole.
