I will say the rumoured belt system is actually very close to what I've wanted them to do for years, which is a singular modular belt for every rider.

From a toy perspective it seems like with saber vs revice having more q1 toys didn't equal more total sales for saber, which also means from a manufacturer perspective saber likely made less money per transformation device than revice did in their respective first quarters

I'd also assume that with a modular belt system they will charge A LOT for the "starter set" for each rider, a set with like a face plate and one gimmick item I bet they'd be willing to sell for like 30-50ish bucks tbh

It also sort of creates a sunk cost effect where if you already bought the really expensive base belt, you might as well get the relatively cheaper packs for each rider to "get your money's worth"

Tbh from a sales stand point I think this has the potential to make them a lot of money, but I also think it'll live and die on how good the characters are, since most people aren't gonna buy sets for riders they don't like lol

EDIT: I do still bet we'll get a bunch of p-bandai belts aimed at adult collectors regardless
