Checking their previous SO-DO listings (including their most recent ones such as the Gaim PB sets), they don't do this either; they just list exactly the figures that are in the set. When it comes to other retail waves like Den-O 2, they do say there will be duplicates as with all retail waves, but nothing about randomisation.

They put up listings for the PB Mirror Monster sets too (at a double price markup, of course), and they don't have anything like this either. This is something wholly unique to their Ryuki Wave 1 listing.

I wonder if BBTS (and, presumably, Bluefin) are getting 8-box, 4-figure sets directly from Bandai? Something specific for non-Japanese markets?

Yea, unless BBTS is getting a different assortment from Bandai or whoever their supplier is, feels like poor wording on their part

I have to imagine it's bad wording. It'd be weird for this to be the case -- Tokullectibles' listing is normal, too.

Maybe the 2 other boxes haven't been revealed yet? Perhaps a shared accessory box and a 1-box Blank Form?

Nah, a blank form wouldn't fit in one box; and SO-DO reveals everything up front. Doing 10 boxes despite having only 8 uniques is just common for the line, there's always dupes.

I'm starting to get really curious about what Zenkaiger's second YUDO wave will be. There'll be Twokaiser, of course; and going by previous lines they'll probably do the mook here, too. There's also been a precedent to put the major rival villain in here, so I bet we'll get Stacaesar as well! But...

- Twokaiser's two forms; given they're armour, will they maybe chuck those in an extra box? Or wait until next wave?
- Zenkai Red is an easy recolour that fits in a single box and requires absolutely no new molding or accessories unless they wanna do a lightsaber effect part -- maaaybe we'll see him?

The civilian form of the kikainoid Zenkaigers I think would be nice. Personally I think the suits do have imagin-level appeal.

I'm thinking one of the boxes will contain the two robot pets that TwoKaiser has.

And speaking of mooks, I actually like the Zenkaiger mooks with the little keyboard mouth. Very fun. Wouldn't mind army building those.

Kiramager only got 2 Yu-Do waves so Zenkaiger might be the same unless they start releasing them faster. It felt like this Yu-Do set is coming much later than when Kiramager's came during the shows airing. I'm pulling for a 5th Kikanoid in Green, so I'm hoping I'll be proven wrong.

It would also be awesome to see Great King Boccowaus as a Yu-Do. Just a giant wall of a figure.

There were only 2 YU-DO waves for Kiramager, but I think it's worth noting that Zenkaiger's put a lot more into those waves -- Kiramager has 6 unique boxes while Zenkaiger has 9 (each out of a total 12 boxes). Granted, this is necessary due to the sheer volume of Juran, Gaon and Vroom; but I think it still shows they're able to put out more figures than last time. Heck, their evil general this time around - Stacaesar - would only take up one box compared to how Garza took up two, so I think we'll be able to get everyone and everything major.
