Ahh. I've rarely/possibly never used CS before. Their prices seem to be quite high.

With CS the problem most of the times isnt even the prices but their insanely high shipping costs.

They go by retail pricing and dont use 20% off like AmiAmi or HLJ. Shippin is okay from what Ive seen, Ive never ordered but I do need soms Gaim stuff :lol

Not neato... that's a pretty bad idea.

Btw AC Zangetsu looks nice.

So does this actually do anything or is it just a cosmetic device? I know sounds are in the locks them selves, but I don't know if this adds anything to the belt. Could some one answer my question?

The faceplates are used to change the sounds inside the belt. Every Rider has unique sounds when you "lock on" one of the lock seeds.

This is why I don't collect more Bandai product. They have the single worst business model next to Mattel.

And the most annoying thing is that you need the proof that you already bought Gaim merchandise. I can only imagine tons of japanese rushing into storey to buy something because they threw away their receipts XD

Couldn't they show up with the toys?
That's one awesome proof of purchase.

The only catch is that you would have to proof that you bought it at one of the participating stores. Atleast thats how I understand the whole thing.
