Yeah I'm happy to just have the base forms!

I doubt it, detail is pretty minimal on the figures. They'll probably just respray the existing figure and maybe change the shape of the Driver.

Apparently I missed the chance at a 1000 yen Zangetsu earlier....crap

I would just like to say I hate you all. You couldn't just keep your Kamen Rider show and toys to yourselves. I was perfectly fine in my little rental world. But NO, I had to keep hearing about this awesome show about guys with fruit armor. Anyways, a day and half off, 11 episodes later, and one visit to Mandarake and I have my very own Zangetsu and Kiwi/Mango armor on its way. Once again, I HATE YOU ALL.

Was that the 4500 one at Shibuya and the 1500 yen set?

But we love you.

Welcome to our club.

We may have cobwebs in our wallets, BUT LOOK AT ALL THESE COOL TOYS!

I know! ALL OF THEM ARE SO COOL! Glad I have Baron on the way, and if I can fix this dang paypal of mine up by next Tuesday, I'll have all 4 of the AC riders up to this point and an arms set :D

I'm also really grateful for the Energy Riders, as they give me an excuse to cool off from the line for a bit and recover my HP.

Oh...you're gonna have to rethink that statement in a few minutes...

Now I need the Energy Riders :lol

Haha I will probably end up buying them anyway, he says playing with his Ryugen and Zangetsu ACs he said he wouldn't purchase.

Freaking Shin Zangetsu...I don't even have the normal one paid for yet and now he's shown...freaking engineering of it is amazing.

The ac line makes me cry happy and sad tears at the same time.

I am screwed. All of this Gaim stuff is so ridiculous and it just hit me the right way. I am going to end up buying nearly all of this DX stuff. However I can't afford to get the AC Line as well as the DX toys. Why does everything have to be so good.

It was actually a 3500 and 1500 at Shibuya. It saved me the trouble of then adding a lock seed to get to 5000. Then I'd need a driver. Stupid plastic crack.

I really want a Ryugen, since that is my favorite armor design, but from all of the reviews I've seen, I know I will have them all.

Someone bought the Zangetsu on Mandarake at 4000 yen. That kind of makes me lol. By the time shipping and handling is factored in, would have been cheaper just to buy one on Ebay for $45 BIN with free shipping.

You can get one for $45 on amazon right now with free shipping :lol

All you guys are talkin about ACs and Im just clickin my Suika and Ichigo like nothin is happenin :lol

I still need to get normal Zangetsu before he upgrade

Holy shit, a bow weapon that actually WORKS.

Shin Zangetsu's bow is articulated. Goddammit i will never escape this line.

Just so im 100% clear, theres no new AC figures for the next couple of weeks right? At least until Shin Zangetsu?

Should have Legend Arms in the next 2 days, bringing me bang up to date and i can get back to buying Transformers for a week or two

Gridon and Dandeliner come out mid-late January

Many thanks sir, starting a new job next week so should be fully funded by the time they start hitting Mandarake.

good god S. Zangetsu looks good!

Makes me really wonder what they have in store for Gaim's own final form.

Fruit Salad?

Wow so I think it's too late to get into this line right? Maybe my $700 will go to Keys?

It's not too late at all!

I just got my legend rider arms today (among a few other Gaim goodies). I really like W on Ryugen, but I think Wizard looks better on Baron than Gaim. I am not a fan of the OOO arms, since it is the most difficult to transform (they're all more complicated than any fruit armor so far) and the OOO eyes don't stay "up" against the attached figure's back. It keeps flopping downward if I even look at it funny.

I don't have Zangetsu yet, waiting for him to arrive from amiami SAL.

Since Gaim will get a means to use both Energy and regular Lockseeds his final form is something I'm interested in myself. Uncertainly is Gen's main strength as a writer and the toy form of said final form will be a hot commodity once more information comes out.

Rumor on the streets is that figure availability will increase around February for older figures, as the holidays wiped out Japan's stock and many people were trying to order stuff online.

I tend to believe, however, that the Arms Change line is just that popular. Probably one of the most popular action figure lines out of Japan in years.

Well February is my birthday :| Keys or Fruit?

As a collector of both. Fruit.

So I should get it before they get rotten?

Thank goodness for that. I resisted the AC bug until the Legend Rider set and now I can't seem to find any figures to go with it. I was getting worried they were done for good with the Energy Riders coming out.

PayPal finally reconnected, so I was able to pay for my Gaim! $28 total. Not bad :D

I definitely want TaJaDor's lockseed :D

Can someone explain to me how the Genesis driver works? What fruit is the Energy Melon? And is Lemon another armor?

Also, what's the deal with the ability to put the Energy Lock Seeds to the side of the Sengoku Driver. What does that accomplish?

Thanks.

With the Tajador lockseed, isn't "Kujaku Au Lait" just giga scan? LOL

Ordered both the tajador and kiwi gashapon seeds today. Can't wait to get them!!!

The energy lockseeds are different from the regular lockseeds in that they also open up in fancy ways rather then flip down and show the weapons like the normal lockseeds. When attached to the Sengoku driver though, when slashed down, there's a space where the blade can slash and it'll trigger the opening up like the genesis driver so they are compatible.

The big sliding bar on the left of the genesis driver activates the transformation and the squash and sparkling finishers. The juicer at the bottom has different lights based on which energy lockseed put in (presumably from the ELS itself)

Lemon's a different rider, Kamen Rider Duke, who is Ryoma Sengoku .

We don't know what attaching part of the genesis driver to the Sengoku driver will really do. We know from toy scans that it will give Gaim his super form. What we do know from the toy is that the energy lockseed will supply extra sounds to the transformation and finishers with its own phrase at the end.

Do you think they will do a Lock Seed Set of the pre-W riders?

Probably not a set unless it's a final one for a finale. Cause we already have Candy Toy Kuuga, Hibiki and Den-O released, as well as Ryuki and Decade in Gashapon, with Blade, Kiva, Kabuto awaiting a Gashapon release.

Non-rider, we've had Ankh in gashapon, with Momotaros scheduled for a Gashapon release.

I love the Rider arms of W - Fourze. I would love it if they did one of Kuuga - Decade or even the Showa Riders.
