Gaim will probably come with Suika, Pine, and Ichigo, as well as possibly Blood Orange, Black Orange, Black Lemon Energy, and Rider Indicators for Bujin Gaim and Proto Gaim. If they’re being really nice, maybe they’ll include Orange, Kachidoki and Kiwami to address the flaking problem (like how they released a second set of the Super Core Medals after widespread complaints for CSM OOO).

Yggdrasil will clearly have Matsubokkuri, Lemon, and Zakuro, and since it has Zakuro, I could see it having Blood Orange as well, since Saver used both. I’ll admit, I’m not sure what else it would have, since I assume the base four Energy Lockseeds will come with the Genesis Driver, which they have confirmed they’re doing. I guess Dragonfruit Energy might? Actually, I do think that makes sense. I assume it will then also come with Duke and Kurokage’s Rider Indicators (maybe the Kurokage Troopers too, if they feel like being nice to those who didn’t buy the mass production version). Maybe throw in the remaining Proto-Rider Indicators for the stage show Riders if they feel it’s still a bit light.

Helheim will clearly have Helheim, Gold and Silver, and I think it’s easy from that to assume it’ll have Dark as well. Maja was like an outright-evil Sagara, so we’ll probably get his, too, as well as the Rider Indicators for Mars, Kamuro, Sylphy and Maja. Since it could control cracks, I think this is where Ringo will go as well as Idunn’s Rider Indicator, but I could see that being with Yggdrasil instead.

That then leaves Himawari and Fifteen of the things they’ve confirmed they’re doing. Fifteen doesn’t really fit anywhere, so maybe it’ll come with the Legend Rider Lockseeds, if they do them. Himawari could go with Gaim, since Mai used it a lot, or Yggdrasil since it seemed to be the designated ‘food Lockseed’ for Project Ark, since it had no form attached to it.

They’ve outright said they might not do Fresh Orange and Fresh Pine because they aren’t really canon, and, to my knowledge, they’ve never mentioned Kabi Orange, the Vehicles or Legend Rider Lockseeds at all. Legends would make sense for Fifteen, but the Vehicles were much more toyetic, so I doubt we’ll get them.

I was thinking more something like this:
- Gaim set: Pine, Ichigo, Suika, Black Orange, Black Lemon + Proto Gaim faceplate
- Yggdrasil set: Lemon, Matsubokkuri, Blood Orange, Blood Zakuro + Duke, Kurokage, Kurokage trooper & Bujin Gaim faceplate.
- Helheim set: Golden, Silver, Darkness, Forbidden, Helheim + Mars, Kamuro, Jam, Idunn & Silphy faceplates

The Energy Lockseeds I think are all gonna come with the Genesis Driver (although Matsubokkuri Energy being in the Baron set threw me for a loop).

That would leave unreleased 3 Lockseeds: Himawari, Fifteen & Maja. Those would be weird as a set, so, maybe Himawari could be included in the Gaim set, as the last Lockseed from the Beat Riders arc. Meanwhile, Fifteen and Maja could be included in the Yggdrasil set, it would up the count to 6, which isn't that far out.

The only Proto faceplate without a release yet is Gaim, so it stands to reason that one goes in the Gaim set (I don't think there really is anywhere else to put it).

Meanwhile, when they announced the Sengoku Driver Project Ark version, they stated that the Kurokage Trooper faceplate was gonna be released in a future product, so it's pretty much expected to be released algonside the regular Kurokage faceplate.
