From what I gather - it's not something I remember being properly explained in Dragon Knight - is that the Contract Beasts become all of the individual items summoned by the cards, so considering all that Zolda comes with it seems wrong somehow that they couldn't just make it combine.

Bandai are all "LOL NOPE, if you want his shield he used like once and the ability combine the weapons, you gotta buy another set!" and although it makes sense for them, money, it's a colossal dick move on their part but they also know people will pay (I don't blame them) so they'll continue to do this poop.

I don't see the problem with how it's done in the Ryuuki releases, though.

If they packed Zolda and Magnugiga together, it probably would have crossed into the triple digit/10,000yen+ field and as a result either wouldn't have sold as well or would be hella expensive to get a hold of now (If Ryuuga's aftermarket prices are any indication.)

Most of these Contract Beasts aren't exactly small. If they were to pack ALL the Ryuuki riders with their beasts, it'd be more of a money sink than I'm sure most people would have wanted to commit to. I'd much rather have the ones who are small or thin enough to not impact the price too much (Dragredder, Dragblacker, Darkwing Goldphoenix, etc.) be packed with their rider while the larger ones are sold on their own, like their doing now.
