So the Bandai Candy blog has revealed that they're releasing enhanced editions of Build and Cross-Z, as well as a Snap Ride Builder for minipla. The visual upgrades for Build and Cross-Z aren't as dramatic as some of the enhanced Ex-Aid SO-DO. There are more stickers - belt, fullbottles, and the hip colors. The main draw appears to be a pair of removable/swappable hands.

I might find them tempting if I hadn't essentially gone all-in on the rest of the Build SODO. Sure, I've got a lot of Build's forms and most characters, but... oh, right. I don't have anywhere to put them. Whoopsie.

This also makes the Guardian set less appealing to me, which is kind of a shame. That the candy folks have done this for a couple of years running also makes me think that if I indulge in the SODO equivalent for the next Kamen Rider, I should maybe skip the first wave or so, since a slightly superior version will apparently be released later.

Snap Ride Builder, and the new hands are neat, but I don't think I'll go out of my way to get either.

anyone need the evol driver its only 3888 on hlj right now and the 2 new bottle sets are there as well

I hope they put up those cute keychains as well, I kinda want those.

That kind of cheap if I compare to other site like

7,018 yen https://www.toysrus.co.jp/s/dsg-610962400

￥ 7,940 https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/...f_rd_i=desktop

5,270 JPY http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...%24pagecnt%3D1

thats what i said its even cheaper than the sclash driver so if you want it id go there is the best ive found-and i already ordered i would if its still there thats way less though i wonder if its got less functionality -ie it only works with the 4 bottles we have seen for it, we will see either way the evil driver is something i would like to get

The price hlj has for the evol driver is very surprising but with the info from the Bandai rider toy site I think we should get at least a little more functionality and sounds than the sclash driver. http://www.b-boys.jp/series/rider/topics/detail/275/

Looks like there will be a special attack sound when matching the normal full bottles with the rider system evol bottle. The site also lists the drivers price as "open price" so I'm assuming that's why hlj has it up for so cheap. Hopefully that means the price is not indicative of the amount of sounds in the belt.

I'm really hoping this driver is the end of the line gift that rewards the bottle collectors for buying everything. I thought maybe the Buster was that toy but it ended up being pretty limited in what it could do. Fingers crossed! Only a few days left til we know for sure.

Open Price means retailers get to decide how much they should sell it. You'd see this with the Nintendo Switch in Europe too, as it was open price before the market generally agreed on 330 euros. There was 330, 360 and all the way to 599 euros in the first few months of release

Yup, no msrp. That's why I'm hopeful that HLJ's price isn't a clue to how many sounds we get and it's just what HLJ is comfortable selling it for. I'd assume at least as many sounds as the schalsh but probably less than the build driver but I'd love for this driver to have a unique sound for everything we've bought so far.

It can read regular fullbottles too but it doesn't do any special jingles. For example, it can read Rabbit and Tank, it recognizes they're a best match by yelling "Creation!" but instead of "Fullmetal moooooonsault! RabbitTank! Yeah!" it just goes "RabbitTank! Muahahahaha!". It also reads bottles with the Rider System bottle somehow to create unique finisher sounds apparently
