And we know that's the case this time. The pages showing those RideWatches literally label them "Gashapon Original," meaning that the safe bet is we won't be getting them as DX..

I wouldn't say all of the time. The only times Gashapon really does unique items is usually around at wave 5 or 6 at the earliest. If I can recall correctly, earliest for Ghost was Columbus/Nightingale, both of which were in GP set 14 I think. Ex-aid didn't really do too much unique in GP until the Gashatrophies (Which were pretty similar in functionality), and so far their has been no brand new bottles for Build from the GP waves.

The only time I can recall that unique items were introduced earlier in the GP line was Drive, and that (I think) was in wave 6, with only one new shift car. So it is really unusual that half of the wave for GP 03 and 04 (quite early waves) consist of entirely unique items with no DX counterpart.

Kind of a shame really, RideWatches like Rogue, Mach and Meteor are pretty unique, whereas all of the DX stuff that we're getting seems to be just like what we've gotten with Ghost and Ex-aid. Shame that they're not really doing anything special or new with Zi-O.

Hopefully the catalog will come around soon and prove me wrong with some amazing unique features, but it's not looking too hopeful.
