I have many thought on this. I'm disappointed because mainline SO-DO, the one that's ages 3+, has not had a PB set since Zi-O and that was great. That said, I don't want these figures and I'm a little glad they won't be taking up space in Geats. However, the accessories are mostly things I've been waiting well over a year for them to make and that sucks. My Demons will never be complete now. I do hope someone that buys this set scans the stickers so that others can print their own stickers for the four weapon molds that are more readily available. It suck all around, regardless.
Then there's the price, let's see how much it increased vs other PB sets. Note that I'll be using the before tax prices because that's what I can find on the blog and the important part is the price difference. I think there's enough accessories here to equate this set to the SO-DO Chronicle 4 packs. I'm going to use the 4 pack with Birth X in it because that's the newest and highest priced 4 pack I could find. It's original price (before tax) was 6200 yen, which was 500 yen more than the Gaim 4 packs. This Revice set is 7900 yen (again, before tax). The difference in price is 1700 yen. While not the worst increase, it is a bit of a jump. The last jump before this was 500 yen. This is over 3 times the increase in price than last time. I'm sure this is rooted in the recent weakness of the yen, but I think there might be a little more to it.
Okay, theory time. I stress that this is a theory based on the information of the last few months. I think this Revice PB set was suppose to be half of a Geats wave. I think that the major delay of ID5 has made them push any future Revice figures that were planned for retail into PB so that Geats can lose a wave. The price of this PB set might be in part because they budgeted these figures for retail and transferring them to PB where they will sell less increased the price more than normal (or it's all form the weak yen catching up). If these were planned for retail, then they probably aren't done with the PB Revice sets yet. SO-DO still has not made Igarashi (the sibling fusion Rider), Chimera, or Get Over Demons. I could see them being a second set.
