You're not paying ¥2000 more for Blades. You're paying ¥2000 less for Saber because of Tamashii's entryway drug pricing for the main rider.

I like the “saving money” way of thinking to justify my spending on my addiction.

I am gonna buy both riders for 3250 + 5500 = 8750 JPY (not including shipping I know). 8750/2 = 4375 JPY per Rider.
I am only paying 4375 JPY per Rider n get the sword n sheathed sword drivers for both riders. What a steal! Thanks Bandai!

Man that Cookie Monster looks good.

I like that they come with unique stands. Love when figures do that.

They don’t come with those stands.

Saber includes his sword and three sets of hands, Blades with the same but also two belts for him and Saber with the swords sheathed.

Well that's a bummer. Still, the figures themselves look good.

The whole team is gonna look amazing together. In a way that a full sentai team of Figuarts looks good, but is so rare because we mostly only got Reds.
