Yes there is...it's called having a complete figure. :p

Also they're still there if you ever do want to use them, rather than oblivion

I got my first Fourze SHF last night, Magnet States, haven't opened it yet, but I'm going to be very wary of the switch pieces, since people have said they've lost theirs, some without even taking them out of the package. For some reason, the Advent cards don't scare me nearly as much, maybe because I guess I could print out new ones?

Also got ZectTrooper, Punch Hopper and Sword Form Den-O. Punch Hopper's deco is, like Kick Hopper, really, really great. I love the paint job on them.
Sword Form looks amazing as well, and I'm really glad to have him, and I'm suddenly thinking about selling the SH Sword Form I recently got.

There's something about the Fourze figures that really displeases me. It's a big reason why I offloaded Magnet States in a trade. The ridiculous number of parts and accessories is something I'm really not interested in. And at least on most of the Fourze figures I've had so far, they all have a pretty significant QC flaw. Loose joints, terrible paint apps, etc.

And I'm with you on the SH front. At this point they seem to be on track to make everyone I want (except poor Kiva and Hibiki :() as Figuarts. So there's no reason to waste time buying the SH's when I'll have the real deal soon enough. I mean I literally just bought SH Knight Survive last month and then they anounced the Figuart. It was a complete waste of my money. Luckily I found someone eager to take it off my hands.

I got SH Sword form in June, mid june at the earliest. But it was nice to have the place holder, and honestly I didn't expect to find one on Mandarake for this good a price this soon. I have all the SH Den-O figs except for Zero Form Zeronos, and I'm still trying to get him. It's still going to be a loooong while before they're all out in SHF, and I want the place holders, they're not nearly as good as SHF, but they're good enough for now.

Also, according to the email I got from Mandarake, it shipped Tuesday and I received it this morning. Less than two days, 1500 yen for shipping. Fuck you, UPS/FedEx with your ridiculous high prices on two day delivery.

I only ordered Manget States because it 2000 yen, and there was nothing else on that store I wanted that was that cheap.

My Zero Form says hi :) And I also like having placeholders. The only Den-O figures I need now are Axe Form and Zeronos Altair/Vega. I've got SH Rod, Gun, Liner, Wing, and Zeronos Zero. With Altair coming out this year I wont be tracking down the SH and I should have Sword Form soon enough. I know the other Den-O Forms are a ways off.

Did they ever make a base form?

Yes. Plat Form was released with Momotaros, I think, and in the TRU Exclusive 5 form set. I originally bought the 5 form set, so I could have all the main forms at once, but quickly got tired of being only able to display one form at a time, so I bought Sword, Ax, Rod and Gun form, and use the 5 form set for Plat form.

Den-O, you still need the SH Altair/Vega for Vega form. And Altair form looks quite good as well, and the SHF isn't due out for a few months still anyway, I thought. There's a cheap one on Mandarake right now.

There's one at Nakano for 2000. But since Altair comes out this year im in no rush. Im sure a Vega will follow soon enough too. I really do want a platform though :( I actually loved that useless form.
