Remember how a majority of Kamen Rider Drive's forms were web exclusives? And how almost all of Ex-Aid's and Gaim's lineups were P-Bandai as well? I think we can see where this is going.

He is a Premium Bandai release? The secondary Rider of the whole goddamn show, a character important ever since the first episode, is a Web-Exclusive figure?
Are you actually shitting me right now? What the hell? Do they hate money now or something? I wanted to pick one up but that's the second giant middle-finger for Build SHF's after releasing Build himself with no accessories. Screw you Tamashii! Why wont they let us have nice things...

Cross-Z is web exclusive? That's a really bizarre ass decision by Bandai that the fact he's also not in the gimmick line either but his Cross Charge suit is.

This is just personal speculation but knowing that Cross-Z will get become Cross-Z Charge soon maybe they will make that a regular release as this probably will be not around as of next year. Or they know this design is dope so they want us to beg for this, which is a petty move if true. Or if there is no thought behind this decision I am genuinely baffled and angry.

I hate it when must-buys are web exclusives, but that seems to be the way Rider Figuarts are going.

This decision is baffling to me. The only way I can see it making sense is if Cross Charge becomes the main suit going forward (which is definitely looking to be a possibility but still).
This begs the question of what's actually suppose to be a retail release in this line now. The only ones we've had so far are RabbitTank and Night Rogue. Does Tamashii actually think that Build's alternate forms will sell better than a whole secondary Rider and a main antagonist? I mean, Gaim at least gave us retail releases for the core four Riders. Drive gave us at least one retail release for the core 3, and even did a retail release for a villain who showed up for like 6 episodes in the show after the show stopped airing. I just don't get their decisions sometimes.

I'd counter by saying that Ghost as a show wasn't very popular, and Brave and Snipe likely didn't do well since they were already made available as part of the set with Ex-Aid and realistically, very few people are going to buy the secondary and tertiary Riders and not the lead. If you look at something like Gaim though, Baron is still selling for higher than his initial retail value.
