Gashapon, how you can tell is by the lock bit and the design of the "curves" at the front of the lock.

Until I figure out how to do it myself, yes.

Shame they're not DX, but these special sets are always gashapon so it's to be expected. Fine by me though, makes the cost much easier to deal with!

The thing about that is those aren't really necessary. All of the heisei riders already got locks in one form or another. Showa only had 2 released, Rider1 and Black RX, so that's the reasoning for the Showa set. The only reason to buy a Heisei set would be if they came with unique sounds, but idk how likely that is.

The easiest way to tell is simply if there's a nub at the bottom. Fun fact, you can see them use non DX locks on the show. Spot the nubs.

I wouldn't put it passed Bandai to release them again in one big box set as our only way of getting a Drive Lock Seed.

Pretty!

...Pointless!

But still actually very pretty. :p

Please don't say that. I hope that doesn't happen. But then that would be kinda neat, because several of the Heisei seeds were Candy only. And I like clear plastic. So I'd just get rid of my existing set in favor of the premium one.

Also we still need a Black Apple Lockseed.

I personally think the Lock Seeds are going to be the new Ranger Keys. If they do another Sentai tasien movie or a Ultraman crossover then I can see Sentai lockseeds or lock seeds on another franchise if we get a third crossover throw into the mix in another Taisen film.

I kinda want these, but they arent DX and I don feel like spending any more money. :lol Now Gaim I do want out of the set. Anyone wanna split?
