Kiva and Hibiki are pretty much the only new territory Bandai can dip into at this point, both of which are not popular series.

Yeah, this. We don't get a ton of Rider releases every month like we used to because there's only so much ground left to cover. TN taking their time with the SS line keeps renewals at a more deliberate pace. Rider's still popular enough to warrant belated releases (Orga, finally getting to Dragranzer/Darkraider, Drive stuff still trickling out), which is a far cry from Sentai.
