Gaim toy thread - Who's in?

PkmnMstr · 02-20-2014, 05:32 PM

I'm fine with the size and functionality of the driver. A little bigger would be nice, but it gets the job done. I forget how much mine ended up after shipping, but it was likely around what Den-O paid. Maybe less.

I'm excited to try the Genesis Driver. And the core with the Sengoku Driver.

The genesis driver is great, except for that damn gear noise.

There's a youtube tutorial for removing the gear. You can pop the back plate of the driver off and remove that entire mechanism just by taking out a few screws. Don't have to modify the driver in any way and you can just set that piece off to the side.

You can count me in the group of people who received a Sengoku driver today and felt it was on the small side. It's not bad, but I thought it would be closer in size to the Genesis driver. However, after messing around with it and my lock seeds, I can't say I regret the purchase. I have the Zangetsu faceplate and I forgot it was the same as Gaim's. That's why you don't get any additional sounds, because Gaim doesn't have any additional. Actually after messing around with the Genesis attachment, I feel safe in saying that the Gaim/Zangetsu faceplates are your basic sounds. When you attach the Genesis core, the belt will default to Gaim no matter the lock you use.

I was going to do this to my Genesis, since that gear is really annoying. My problem is that I like the gradual fill of the cup on the front and you lose that without the gear.

You could just slowly release the handle manually.

I'm just curious, the people who think the Sengoku Driver is "small", do you not have other KR Belts? Because it's not really any smaller than any of the other ones. In fact, I'd say it's actually quite big compared to like, Den-O or OOO. If I remember right I think the Kiva belt was pretty small too, really.

It's a middle sized one, with like Genesis, Meteor and Wizard being bigger.

This is the first series where I've bought the belt. It probably didn't help that I got the Genesis driver first. After messing around with it and trying it on, I don't think the size bothers me much anymore.

Just paid for an LED Kiva Lockseed from Mandarake! My entrance into Gaim merchandise has arrived. ^_^

I have two others and, yes, I think the Sengoku driver looks small in comparison to the series one. Of the two I have, the Fourze driver is a pretty hefty hunk of plastic and the DecaDriver does seem small, but it doesn't appear that much larger in the series. I understand that it's a kid's toy but considering the price the, to my mind at least, scale difference is worth commenting on.
