I suppose every Heisei rider will eventually be a GP exclusive for a Reiwa rider. For Zero-One the rare ones were Hibiki, Agito, and OOOs I believe. I'll honestly be surprised if Toei keeps this up and we keep getting Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa legend items for each season. That's like a guaranteed 25+ trinkets every time. I thought they would slow down after Build only gave us select Legends.

Anyway, I need to get around to posting my full Kabuto collection.

There was also the Fourze Progrise Key which I think was a prize somewhere? And the Kiva Ridebook I believe was a TV-Kun exclusive.

I think they started going all-out on Legend Rider stuff again because Zi-O attained the rank of best-selling toyline; and while there's no specifics on why that was, I doubt it's down to the appeal of the Zikan Despear. Legend Rider stuff just sells better now, I suppose; and they don't seem too expensive to produce.

What you also gotta consider is that Build was putting out a lot of non-show gimmick items anyway -- in the last half of the toyline we were getting things like Rhino/Hairdryer and Spider/Refrigerator bottles that were at best cameoing in the show. If Legend Rider items sell well, it just makes sense to replace that non-show part of the toyline with them.


Also, please do post!! I love seeing Legend Rider items all together in a big collection like that; it's what's exciting me about collecting OOO's items
