Have the preorders for the donguri and durian dx lockseeds gone up yet?

They officially start on the 24th I believe, but some places are already taking up preorders

Oh wow, those Durian and Doguri sets are going to be expensive aren't they. I probably won't end up trying to collect all the lock seeds and face plates unless I find good deals on them.

On the other hand, I am wondering if the Musou Saber or Sonic Arrow are worth it...I probably won't get a Genesis Driver, unless there is a nice sale. I want the DX Lemon Energy Lock Seed but from what I've seen, people don't really think that its worth getting the Sonic Arrow for. The Musou Saber looks pretty cool too and it comes with the DX Melon Lock Seed which I like but already have a Candy Toy version. Hmm...this line might make me spend more money than I intended to. Haha

Preaching to the choir. The Candy/Gash Energy seeds don't cut it. DX or bust. I'm sorta okay with candy/gash Melon. But considering I will own all other DX seeds, I may end up with the Musou Saber anyway.

Everything is all a matter of perspective.

For instance, the site that was linked for the exclusive Bravo & Gridon set, sure it's 5600 Y, and when you look at something like the Ryugen set on AmiAmi, it's only 1310 Y. However, that's with a 27% discount. So, really it's 1800 Y. Multiplied by two, that's 3600. Only a 2000 Y markup, and it's an item that requires a middleman. Who knows what shipping to them, and what tax is, and their fees are. So it's not so bad.

As far as the Musou Saber and Sonic Arrow go, again, it's a matter of perspective. Sure, they're 3500 Y or so, but that's also figuring in a 1100 / 1300 Y Lock Seed respectively. So for 2k Yen you get something that works with EVERY Lock Seed you get, and unlocks an entire third (or better some may argue since without Driver / Weapon, DX Lock Seeds don't do a ton!) of the sounds that are already built in. So sure, it seems expensive, but honestly I wish I had grabbed a Musou Saber back when I was starting to pick stuff up, I really regret not, now. Luckily I had the forethought to grab a Sonic Arrow. I'll definitely want a Musou Saber though, since it forms an entirely new weapon with the Dubstep Gun.

Amazon finally got the SG Durian Lockseed back in stock at $30. Picked it up and it should be here by Friday. Looking forward to it. My Ryuki/Budo lock seed set is still a ways away.

Kurokage review by wotakufighter.

I can't wait to get mine, should be shipping soon!

So I just got my Sengoku Driver. I don't know if I was delusional or what when I ordered ir, but damn I had no idea how tiny this thing is. It's teeny tiny. I was expecting better for some reason I guess. the Lock Seeds are still quite fun but I'm not 100% sure I love the DX Driver.

I find it to be the right size for me XD. Probably cause I have had multiple drivers at a time and could compare sizes. That and my hands are kinda small, so lock seeds don't feel out of place :lol
