Well that certainly does suck. But oh well. It is what it is. *puts on pirate hat* Hasbro can't stop us all.

It does indeed suck but hardly any different from before; it would have been a real shock to see this brought over.

A shock it's happening at all, even! I know the two B-Fighters are the only two Metal Heroes with DX transformation devices, but... wow! They're really doing this!

What is surprising however, is the Shinken Cards were brought over with CSM Decadriver 2.0 with K-Touch, and some without K-Touch, to the West.

Except that they weren’t. There was a big uproar over how those two cards were being taken out of the US release for copyright reasons.

But they were brought over. Don't believe me, check this video:

That'll be down to a mistake in the production batches. Some people ended up getting lucky through that but it's definitely not, like, an intended official thing

Oh, wait. Must be a false alarm from TokuChris.

Even if they don't come over, it's exciting to get new B-Fighter stuff. The designs are so cool.

But...somebody ELI5: I'm guessing it's not releasing here because this is a Bandai toy, who Hasbro views as a competitor...but isn't there some way that it's beneficial to Hasbro for that to release here? Like, can't they come up with a licensing deal that lets Hasbro get profits?
