Well... the sound that just one of those Lockseeds contain is at least a match for two or three regular GaiaMemories, I guess.
Though I think anybody who spends more than a hundred dollars to merch to begin with is beyond my level... |

They sure do contain three slightly different finishers.

Has anyone found the Energy Lockeeeds in the Helheim game?
So far, I’ve found... Himawari Matsubokkuri Kurumi Donguri Melon Pine Ichigo Orange Blood Orange Black Orange Banana Budou Suika Watermelon Mango Durian King Durian Kiwi Lychee Lemon Forbidden Ringo Golden Ringo Black Ringo Zakuro Yomotsuheguri Helheim Maja Fifteen Kachidoki Shin Kachidoki Kiwami I assume Silver Ringo is probably there somewhere, but I’m not sure about the Energy Lockseeds, or Kabi Orange.

I'm interested to see how they tackle the Genesis Driver. The gear system they used to slow the retraction of the activation slide was way to noisy and distracting on the DX release. Some people would just take it out of the driver to make it quieter.

So many oranges and apples (didn't even remember Black Ringo was a thing) yet the best one, Fresh Orange, remains elusive.
I assume the Energy Lockseeds will be their own special set in the future alongside a Genesis Driver/Sonic Arrow that costs another arm and leg. It's still pretty lousy that Gaim's initial set doesn't come with Lemon Energy though, especially since they do include the adapter! EDIT: What if Pine and Ichigo only come out packaged alongside a CSM Musou Saber and Daidaimaru... Last edited by FreshToku; 10-25-2020 at 11:05 AM.. |

...not sure whether or not there's an actual alien forest encroaching on the planet you'll need a belt to survive in yet, but you never know! Being serious for a second, this is probably as good a time as any to mention I'm still shocked and a little upset there was never a Super Best version of the Sengoku Driver that just included all four main Riders' faceplates and default Lock Seeds back when that brand was a thing? Again, I only spectate these things from a nice, frugal distance, but I basically took it for granted they'd do something like that eventually. Zangetsu's faceplate was one of those campaign items that disappear immediately and I remember hearing back in the day Ryugen's set was never that readily available either. It would've been this really nice treat for Gaim fans new and old, but when the DX Driver did get a reissue recently, they instead subtracted a Rider, and then went on to give us this horrifying glimpse into what CSM is going to be like for the more recent shows with a heavy emphasis on the collectible gimmicks. I am terrified to see what CSM Gashats and Ride Watches will end up looking like one day.

Gosh, it just occurred to me that Genm is enough of a cash cow on his own that they would get away with some real nonsense. CSM Buggle Driver (it can play Wish in the dark and also Kuroto shouting for thirty seconds straight) with just the Dangerous Zombie Gashat. Proto Mighty Action X in some expensive set with all the proto gashats. Then a 'Shin' set with the Proto-Alpha version and God Maximum Mighty. I think I might be spending too much time thinking about toys and the hypothetical ways to sell them. |

I'd say there's absolutely nothing to improve the DX toys there but Bandai would never pass up the chance to rip off people with money to throw around. Add a soundboard to the hollow piece of plastic to the Gamer Driver in order to make it play EXCITE, and now it's worth an additional hundred dollars. Package it with Mighty Action X, Maximum Mighty X and Hyper Muteki that are I dunno, shinier or something, and you've got a 'Complete' Selection Modification. (Mighty Brothers XX only comes in a set with the Gashat Gear Dual)

Actually my point with that post is that all of that would basically be a scam but one they'd totally get away with.
Though if other people want and can buy them, I guess I can't really complain since I was never gonna actually afford any of this anyway, even if it was more reasonable. It's not like Rider Figurarts where the increasingly stingy releases sets a pattern for all future releases. CSM selling Lockseeds or Ride Watches or whatever for thousands of dollars doesn't mean that they can do anything ridiculous with things like Agito's belt, which has limited options to begin with. (Right...?) |
