Came here to say just that!

I'm trying to figure out how the gimmicks might work toy-wise though. My current guess is that RideBooks with have sounds in them, and *possibly* LEDs behind the "pages". Meanwhile the sword will have its own sounds and lights, that play regardless of what's in the belt. The belt itself I don't think has any electronics, just possibly some switches and stuff to trigger the books & any upgrade attachments at the right times.
Presumably the different Riders' swords have their own sets of sounds to distinguish them, but I don't think the swords will ever "know" what books are inserted, or vice versa. Closest comparison I can think of is the Books are like lockseeds, and the Swords are like faceplates (if it was the faceplates themselves making the sounds!). Saber's and Brave's swords are pretty similar; I'm really curious to see if we get any different looking ones later down the line.

I'm super unsure about precisely how the sounds will work though; with three slots, they've surely got to leave enough space for each book to have its turn saying something, which would just lead to a lot of awkward silence (or standby music) when a rider's just using one book! Hopefully between a press conference preview of the transformation (if we're lucky) and the early release of Peter, we'll soon get a better idea!
