and that ment to be a reason to get Garren

No battle damaged face?

Garren is Tachibana Sakuya.
I know he shares the "Tachibana" name with a character from Fourze, but Garren's name was Tachibana, too.

just updated the news story with a photo of him with his bike, the red rhombus

i know that i was on about the Actor who plays them both is the same

No actually. The actor who played Tachibana AKA Garren also played Libra Zodiarts AKA Principal Hayami in Fourze. Tachibana was an entirely separate character who happened to use that name in Fourze. He was Meteor's ally and later revealed to be Virgo as well.

It'd be cool to get the Rider's with their respective bikes, but as they go for almost as much as the figure, most of the time I really don't see the point, especially as they are hardly used.

Black, Os and Kuuga really are the only Rider's I've come across so far that seem actually worth getting a bike for.

God all that stuff sure was a mess :lol

But OOO Ridevendor only got released in vending machine mode :( Which is why I bouhgt the DX Ridevendor, a rather oversized stand in.

I tend to feel like my displays aren't complete until I have bikes for the characters who need them but I'm a tad bit OCD on "complete" displays. Thankfully not every rider has a bike. But it's gonna be murder on the wallet when the Ryuki Ride Shooters eventually get released (they were teased last year). I'll need one for every Ryuki-verse rider.

i know i ment the princable having libra duke it out with garren would be funny thing in a Net movie and in Figuarts form

Oh yeah... here is hoping that the Ridevendor gets a release! And I ever actually find a reasonably priced TaToBa...

I don't have a limited budget but I feel more rewarded in my purchases when I restrain myself and focus on good deals, so my Figuarts is a bit a of rag tag mess in honesty but I feel like everything I've bought is truly worthwhile, rather than stuff I bought for the sake of completing my collection (which I did SO MUCH in the past when I used to collect Marvel Legends, I bought so much shit and ended up giving most of it to charity, I don't wanna do that again. [I mean buy loads of shit, I give to charity every other week haha])
