What about the buyers who don't care about the bikes? I don't care for the bikes, so I don't buy them. I don't want to pay double for something that I won't use.

WHOA-HO BABY. That is METAL! I may have to get both versions of him. I don't think I've loved a Rider design more than I love this one in this instant. It's like the thing is MADE for me.

So basically, losers?

Kamen RIDER !!!

lol

BRAKE UP.

Looks awesome! Can't afford either of them, but still looks awesome!

The dude barely leaves his bike behind, so it would make sense. The bike is part of who he is. If he doesn't have it, he is just another generic villain.

The point still stands (Which I agree with): I don't want the bike, so I don't want a two-pack. I don't want another Garren situation where the only way for me to get the Rider is to pay extra to get the bike, too. I don't have the space for bikes, thus I only want the characters.

Whether the character uses the vehicle so much that it might as well be attached to them or not doesn't matter.

I know there are tons of people out there who prefer to just buy Riders without bikes and I completely get that. Totally respect the money & space issues. But for me personally I still don't understand why at least all main riders aren't 2-packs with their bikes. It's fine, I can pre-order them separately seeing as I have to in a situation like this. But when and where possible I'd always prefer combo packs over individual releases.

Hell if they re-issued Black renewal and Battle Hopper renewal in a $100 set I'd jump all over it.

The whole 2-pack/single release for bikes they're doing at the moment is a pretty good compromise for the whole situation. I just wish they'd do actual figure reissues alongside them all too (it only seems to be happening for the mass release bikes) but I guess too many variations would be them shooting themselves in the foot a bit.

I thought Garren was the best idea ever. It was bs they did not do that with Chalice and Leangel.
