Blade is one of the few series to even do "broken helmet" stuff, so I don't believe BD Garren is indicative of any trend, as it is one of the most iconic moments of the character. (Remember Motion Revive? When that sadly departed line did Garren, they only did the broken helmet version)

Honestly, the only necessary Gaim release I see left is Overlord Baron. Every other major player is covered. Ichigo and Kiwi are likely, but weren't really used that much. At least Baron Mango acted as a sort of upgrade form akin to Jinba, and Pine was the first use of "arms change." Suika is necessary.... but I really feel like it's unlikely. Such a high price item for a show that didn't rate well and it wasn't exactly a major factor of the story at all. (despite appearing often)
