I may be the only person but I find the rider+bike approach to be far more sensible than ordering these things separately.

It's very cool when they pack in the bike with the rider. But I just don't really like bikes. They're really cool and all, but I prefer to put my figures in action/fighting poses on their own. The Blade bikes are super cool though.

This. As of now, Bandai has pretty much crippled my funds and is now still spoonfeeding with even MORE cool stuff. Given that I haven't started collecting bikes yet, I didn't really plan to start. Chalice and Leangle look pretty amazing, so if they're not exclusive and are separate from their bikes, I'll probably get both.

Though sensible, if they were packed with their bikes, I'd pretty much be obligated to retroactively find a Garren as well as pick up Blue Spader. Such that I'd have all 4 riders and bikes. I really wouldn't mind having 3 of the 4. Though, I'd probably need a Garren once I get to watching Blade. Given my track record.
