yes, every other year. If you tally up the cost of each odd year and even year you'll see a huge different in cost. Maybe no gimmick isn't the right word of choice. Sentai always does one year toy heavy that rely gimmicks collectible to activate more lights and sounds either in the changer or the mecha. Then the consecutive year they tone it down. If gobuster performed well, then I could see toei ditching the spandex and heavy axuilary in favor of more advance transformation and articulation . Now we're getting bricks after bricks even ryusolger the main mecha look like it can pose a lot, but it didnt . Eevn in the show it give up what we saw in eps1 with all running acrobats like dairanger Early episodes.

Decade, w, o, fourze, wizard, gaim, driver, ghost, exaid, build, zio, 01 all have gimmicks every year without fail.

No, not every other year. Resshas, Dial Fighters and Trigger Machines are all collectible and compatible with their respective Morphers. Zyuohger and Kiramager don't have anything like that.

Good to know that the sword determines the Rider but that just makes me question the books even more since they're only used for form changes. Couldn't you just have a symmetrical black-white-black default form for Saber by only using the sword without the dragon book?

The motifs are a little weird as well with 2 animals and 1 faerie tale. Divine Creature and Sacred Animal are virtually synonyms. It's not really much different to Progrise and Zetsumerise Keys but replacing extinct with fictional.
