It isn't, but it's worth pointing out that it's rather stupid.

Rider Chaser, yes. Who first appeared in episode 26 and who's figure was announced in August.

Mashine Chaser on the other hand was released a month later than Drive Type Speed, the same happens now with Ghost & Specter. The second Rider, Mach who appeared around the time Necrom was first introduced was a retail release in June. That's the comparison you should make.

Yes, but acquiring one is not the problem, for me at least, the price is. These Web-Exclusives cost me about 70 bucks, shipping included, which I'm not willing to pay for some figures. With Necrom I probably would've pulled the trigger at retail price, but Web-Exclusive? Nah. Also, you can never tell if these figures will be popular enough to be non-existent on the secondary market.

The "issue" (I would hardly call it that) is that they announce a secondary Rider which appeared in the first quarter of the show as a Web-Exclusive 8 months in advance. It’s like if they announced Zangetsu as a Web-Exclusive for November after Gaim & Baron just came out.
