The blog said this is the "first" wave of SO-DO Fourze, so we'll have to see what the future holds.

Well, I don't wanna catastrophise or anything, but... I think we just hit the worst case scenario.

Boost MKII, Lazer Boost and Ziin are all to release in SO-DO... as a Premium Bandai set for 7500 Yen. As in, the most currently relevant forms both through the show and in what's on store shelves as DX toys.

SO-DO as we know it might just be done.

Oh yeah, that's pretty bad. Must've been some serious delays cause I can't imagine anyone in the business division wanting to lock the mass release suits behind such a big paywall.

I am deeply worried. I'm hoping that this set plus the live/evil/demons set were suppose to be ID6 but they got cancelled due to delays and that this is just them trying to play catch up. I'm probably wrong, but I'm trying to stay hopeful here. No matter what happens I do hope we can hear from G-San on all this.

I guess from now on forwards, this how will so-do released, first 2-3 volumes will be retail and the rest will be premium just like chronicle

So where are these types of toys usually purchased? I was under the impression that they were available at grocery stores and konbini, but I didn't see a single one while in Japan - only a couple of older ones at shops in Akihabara. Where are candy toys usually sold?

I found them in grocery and department stores, but the impression I got was they?re either short stocked or the popular sets get snatched up first

I was in Japan last year when ID1 was released and found a fresh case the day of release. It was almost empty when I came back to the aisle

They have them in Don Quijote and places like that.

There are also some stores that specialize in used Gashapon and Candy toys like BOOKOFF and Suruga-ya.

I didn't see any in either DQ or Book Off. I recall seeing a few Geats belt items, but I think they were mostly in capsules? It was really weird.

So I take it that my experience is out of the ordinary, then.
