There's one person selling ComboChange 1 and 2 for $100. I already have ComboChange 2, making that part a waste, but $100 for a 10-box case of ComboChange 1 seems like the best I'm going to do.

EDIT: Pulled the trigger. First time getting anything through ZenMarket. Hope it goes okay! If anyone in the US wants a case of ComboChange 2, let me know and we can figure out a price.

Nice! I found two separate sets (One of the full 7, one of the 3 parts needed to make tatoba) so I might grab those.

Edit: Got out bid on an eternal/gold extreme set at the last minute weh.
Edit 2: Just grabbed the 4500 yen one I waa watching since that's about what I wanted to pay anyway.

Didn't notice this post last night, but if you can I suggest checking Mandarake for SODO figs, they regularly have Den-o for 800 yen, and you might be able to find some other stuff you want.

Edit: (Also group orders)

Did anyone buy the full case of AI08 and not needing the extra Ikazuchi and Humagear? I forgot about the preorder until it was to late and I'm just trying to get those 3 boxes that are double packed in the case.

I just got my AI 08 case in, and nothing's double-packed? I haven't watched Zero-One or Zi-O yet, but there are only five figures in the case: Robot Man, Kamen Rider Black But He's A Watchman, Kamen Rider Black But He's A Watchman And Blue, Crossbow Watchman, and Guy From Zero-One. No dupes.

*head desk*
wow I only just realized that the Kuuga set with Growing, Ultimate, and Amazing Mighty was retail not P-bandai



Edit:
Also Die when Switchblade says "case" they mean the full 12 pack of figures.

Yeah, I meant the case of 12. They're easy to forget about with the complete sets these days.

Oh! I learned something new today! I didn't realize that sets were coming in actual packages now. (I guess they have been and I didn't even think about it?) Crazy!

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the info!

So it appears I bought the last LunaTrigger/HeatMetal/CycloneJoker Extreme set off of bbts.


Edit: also I did some looking, I don't think we have any SODO releases lined up for September so maybe that's when the new Chronicle set will drop.

Time for SO-DO Chronicle Masked Rider, featuring collectible Ferbus figurine.

Placed an order for Ride Plus 2 on Mandarake. Hopefully there's no stock issues.

If you plan to buy the SO-DO Golden Power Kuuga set from Bluefin, preorders closes tonight.

Deepsea guessed it, we have new SO-DO Chronicle! Presenting:

SO-DO Chronicle Gaim! Coming November, they've worked hard to improve the sculpt on these boys, with added articulation and waist movement. Incredibly, all four of them are coming as one retail wave!

Now who do I bribe to get retail Zangetsu Shin? Come on Toei, it's all I'm asking. Well, maybe him and Knuckle. Throw in Gridon for the wave, you know you want to.

Most notably, as the third picture shows; the armours are fully detachable and interchangeable so you can do any combo you want -- special attention is even drawn to how there's different eye stickers, including even blank arm-less ones for each rider!

The way it's set up is as you might expect -- two boxes; the first being the rider, the second being the arms. So our first wave is eight boxes all in all

They look great! It's really impressive how much the A
So-Do Chronicle sculpts have improved

Hell yeah go me!

Wow these look super amazing! I'm really excited!

I feel like Gaim will get 2 or 3 retail waves, or at least I hope. I'm guessing wave 2 will be Jinba, Kachidoki, Kiwami, and Lemon Energy Baron, or Zangetsu Shin. If We get a wave three it'd definitely be bravo and either the nuts or the energy riders.

Edit: Can't wait to take pics of these next to SO-DO Ex-aid

I audibly gasped. That is fantastic news! Thanks for posting!

Those SODO look gorgeous!

Every time I try to quit SODO, they pull me right in with a new figure.

Might make this my first So-Do set because damn those look nice.

Ooh, that's cool. I love Gaim but do I need these if I already got the SHFs...lol

Shoot, this might actually be the first time I’m going to buy Sodo Chronicle although I find it annoying that you have to get a body for every arms change if you want Gaim banana for example since the eyes are stickers.

The real fun is trying to predict what'll come out and in what combination. Sigurd + Marika + Duke premium Bandai set when?

Update on the box: still not packed, so it might be a bit longer.

Real talk: what are my odds on getting a Bravo? 100%? Less?

...More?

Thanks for the update! Sorry this is dragging on so long.

So-Do chronicle teeends to do things in order, and Bravo's pretty popular; so I think we'd see him sooner or later! ... just, totally expect him to be premium bandai.

Gaim's in a fairly good position here, actually. Even though it's got a huge amount of riders, it doesn't actually have that many forms; and the way they're doing it the alt forms like pineapple and mango can easily be made just one box each unless they wanna go all Zero-One and make sure you have one figure per armour. Basically what I'm saying is, there isn't actually that much ground to cover -- you've got 4 upgrades (Jinba, Kachidoki, Kiwami, Lemon Baron), and then 7 more in-series riders. You've also got a few movie-exclusive riders and a bunch of v-cinema stuff but those would be super de-prioritised. Heck, we might even see monster Baron and legend rider arms if this line's popular enough!

Going off previous series' track record, we'll definitely see all the show Riders come out at some point - as Kurona says, Gaim's characters ae pretty popular, and most only have one form. Bravo is almost certainly gonna come in a PB Box with Gridon and Kurokage, but hey, you guys might have Bluefin import that! If I had to guess (and yes, I'm only doing this so I can brag about it in 5 months time)
- Retail Wave of Jimber, Kachidoki, Kiwami, and Zangetsu Shin
- Energy Rider Boxs (Duke, Sigurd, Marika)
- Charmant Squad (Bravo, Ornac)
- Other Nuts Squad (Knuckle, Kurokage, Kurokage Shin maybe?)
- Baron boxset (Mango Arms, Lemon Energy, Lord Baron, Ringo Arms maybe?)
- Ryugen boxset (Kiwi Arms, Sour Grapes mode)

That's already 5 PB sets, rip to anyone's wallet who wants them all.

Movie Riders are less likely - we got Eternal, but he's insanely popular, and New Den-O because he was basically a main Rider for 2008-2011. We also got all of OOO's movie forms.. and no sign of Aqua or Poseidon. It's hard to gauge, basically. I'd put money on Bujin Gaim because easy redeco is easy, but Mars and Kamuro are a maybe. Honestly, if they do it, throw in Jam for a nice Apple Rider boxset. Is anyone out there clamouring for a Jam Rider?

As for post-series stuff... umm, Black Baron is an easy redeco? Honestly, I forgot how many V-Cinema forms Gaim had until I looked it up. There's like 4 per film or something silly. Maybe if the others sell stupidly well we'll get these, but otherwise, I wouldn't hold out hope for SO-DO Chronicle Kamen Rider Saver.

Kurona And AkibaSilver Guarantee Me A Bravo With No Chance Of Being Let Down, okay, got it, thanks!

Seriously, though, thanks for the analysis and predictions. (I won't say which is which.) Bravo feels like a pretty likely third-wave figure, with it being far more likely we'd see the Energy Riders in a second wave. I mean, Duke got a movie, you know? (Although, yikes, that maybe makes Knuckle jump the queue. Maybe Bravo/Ornac/Knuckle in wave 3?) And I'm not going to be upset if I get a Marika figure first.

Man, what if they just released a 12-figure set and got it over with? Save me from this uncertainty and stress, Bandai! All it'll cost me is all of my money!

Every post here is reawakening my urge to correct everyone on Gridon’s name every two seconds

Oh, you mean Mr Acorn?

Also, since I forgot Bandai actually does 4 figure sets now (Thanks Zeronos), just put Knuckle, Bravo, Donguri and Kurokage together. 100% Premium Bandai grade stuff.

Im still hoping we'll get an Aqua. Was so disappointed he wasn't in Ride Plus 2, but now they've got another chance

ha ha ha FANTASTIC

I wonder if ISSA was all tears of joy after all those years singing rider songs and a cameo he finally got the call he is going to became a Kamen Rider. In case anyone did not know ISSA of dance group DA PUMP and Kamen Rider Barlckxs is a known Kamen Rider geek.

beautiful

I really love this.


Oh also, do we know why SO-DOs are divided into two boxes? Particularly when one box has so much more plastic then the other

It’s probably because at the start they didn’t include a body for every upgrade so they divided it.

Yeah it kind of evolved into that format after Build was so popular. Build suits divide a lot nicer into half-body parts for each box so you can mix and match.


Zi-O and the armor change gimmick would fit conceptually, but it really ended up feeling like it was 2 boxes to every suit, rather than 1 base suit with armor you could swap out.

Thanks for all the answers!

Also please look at this old Den-o candy toy! It's really interesting to see them attempt the form change gimmick.

TACHIBANA-SAN! IS IT TRUE THAT YOU'VE BETRAYED US????

I mean, ahem, we have SHODO news! Along with a great set of photos on the latest SHODO-Outsider set (A Gurongi (sorry I don't know in particular!), Delta, General Jark, Kick Hopper and Punch Hopper...

We have Wave 4 news! And if the image at the top of the page didn't tip you off, it's time for Round Zero - Brave Blade! All my favourites are here. Well, two of them.

Chalice! With removable Chalice Rouzer for his waist that you can slot into the bow!

Tachibana-San, with gun in both cards spalyed out, and not modes
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0716192653.jpg

Meanwhile, to go with the recently revealed Kabuto, we have an obvious redeco: Dark Kabuto! By the looks of it, they're also doing his Gun/Dagger/Axe weapon in all its forms.
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0716194214.jpg

And a Generic Worm!
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0716194827.jpg

We're also rounding out the In-Show Faiz riders with a Riotrooper! Coming with both gun and sword versions of the weapon (probably in an expansion set, but you take what you can get!)
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0716195559.jpg

And finally, to keep us on the early-Heisei Kick, we have G4! Considering they already have the mold from G3-X, it makes sense!
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0716202114.jpg

No SO-DO news for all of you that want that, but they did include this horror:
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0716150417.png

As usual, images and news comes from here: http://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20200719_rider I'd advise checking it out today, there's a bunch of cool photos of O3 that I didn't include!

Also, because you guys deserve to know, I almost choked with laughter seeing Tachibana-san staring back at me when I loaded the page. I mean, I have a cough anyway, so it's not hard, but that meme truly will never die.

Anyway, time to buy a SHODO Blade, I guess.
