Definitely feel like I need to see a better photo of that collection! Happy for your find, but come on.

Hmm... I was hoping for my SHF Blades to be my end-of-school gift to myself but this one'll do. Got her for $50 since she was on clearance.

Tho, my school won't really end end till the first week of May, so we'll see.

Nice pickup! The S Gundam is one of my favorite Gundam designs. I long for a true RG of it.

The Mobirates might beat it out as my first changer overall... but here at last is my first ever Henshin Belt: the 10th anniversary re-issue of the Super Best OOO Driver; complete with the full sets of Gatakiriba, Ratoratah and Tajador. At the same time I got a smaller manda package with the Jonias and Agul Ultra Medals along with a Rider 1 OOO Medal; which could not have coincided with a better package.

I'm just. REALLY fucking happy about this; I didn't know for one thing that the 10th re-issue had new packaging and it's gorgeous; I'm gonna have to take a picture of all sides I think just to get across how nice it is! I already have a set of Shauta medals too; so now I just need Sagohzo, Putotyra and Burakawani for a full set. Oh, and a medal holder; get the feeling I'm gonna be needing one of those to complement this pretty soon!

Of all things to be my first Driver I'm glad it's this lush. I complained before about this re-issue not being retail and having a couple thousand yen slapped on the price, and I still stand by those complaints; but with those hurdles jumped over it's simply nice to have this in my hands now

Congrats! The best thing about these threads are when folks get a chance to show off something that connects with them as a fan, and Kurona Gets An OOO Driver is the most amount of that energy I can imagine. Thanks for letting us be a part of this moment!

What other medals, if any, do you plan to pick up?

Honestly? Think that'll be it! In addition to Rider 1 I already had Kuuga and New Den-O from the SG wave with Shauta in it, so I'm very happy on the Legend Rider front -- not to mention those 3 plus the 7 actual sets makes for a full Medal Holder. There is Panda and Kangaroo out there, but... the former doesn't interest me too much and the latter seems more trouble to find than it's worth. Base medals plus my two favourite pre-OOO riders plus Rider 1 is perfect for me!

Aww, thanks!

I need advice. Is the KR Saber S.H. Figuart Worth it?

At the current affordable price, I'd say so. If you're not a stickler for something like his sword not being a metallic silver he's still a fun and functional figure. Just don't overpay for him.

The only thing I'd recommend is getting the SHF Upgrade sticker set for Saber to give his ridebook its detail. Elevates things real hard despite it being such a small detail.

KamenRiderLeo · 04-27-2021, 11:26 AM

Thanks, Im gonna look for the lowest price I can find.
