Well, I have not seen much of Black so I can't comment on the necessities of the special effects, especially since not too many Riders actually come with them.

Failing that, why not do a Faiz and Garren and pack him with Battle Hopper? I just don't think at full price Black is worthwhile on a good sculpt alone. Maybe that is just me, but I stand by that.

Because not everybody who collects Riders also collects the bikes. Those bikes easily jack up the prices, and to some of us (like myself, depending on the series) we don't want to pay $30-40 extra for an accessory that we could do without, especially with main Riders.

And as someone said, the price of getting both Black and Battle Hopper would more or less be the same, regardless if they're packaged individually or together, so packing in battle hopper wouldn't really make a difference. For example, Garren and Red Rhombus is about the same price as getting both Blade and Blue Spader.

This is true as well.


For starters, nobody in Ryuki actually rode their bikes (or mopeds, in Shinji's case),if they even had one, while in Rider form so even if they were packed with their bikes, it wouldn't even make sense.
