I guarantee you that it's just Toei dragging their feet as they always do. They are undoubtedly going over Media Blasters' translation, menu designs, cover designs, etc. with a fine tooth comb. Keep in mind this is the same company that put out a DVD of Godzilla Vs. Megalon with unauthorized special features, which completely destroyed their relationship with Toho.

Except Shout continued to give updates since the announcement in April.

It should also be noted that Media Blasters hasn't even formally announced it. Just talking about it on Twitter. There is no press release or anything.

On their Twitter, the social media person seemed to be very anxious in particular with the acquirement of Rightstuf by Sony.

It appears that they still have the license. What's taking so long is anybody's guess.

Mine is they want to get a dub for them which I think is a waste of time and money.

The Media Blasters person has a Youtube and talked about Kamen Rider.

Basically, the recent acquisition of RightStuf by Crunchyroll also led to their sales dwindling for their Christmas sale. As such they are focusing on releasing Hentai titles at the moment since they are a more reliable source of sales. He estimates a summer release for Kamen Rider.

After Jet Man in February I'm getting Rider shows in March. What Rider shows
are out on DVD? I want to buy that line next. I'll catch up the Ranger sets so I
was curious.

V3 is the only one on DVD. Blu-Ray has Kuuga, Ryuki and Zero-One

Kuuga, Ryuki, and Zero-One are out on blu-ray via Shout. Black is coming to blu-ray later this year. I think V3 is still available on dvd by way of the insanely overpriced set from Hawaii.

That's it. Toei is really bad about letting other countries get Kamen Rider.

Looks like the release from Media Blasters might come out faster than first expected.

The Region free sets for the Ranger line have been in great shape visually. I have a 1080
TV and a DVD player that goes 1080 so I watch episodes up to Zen Kai no problem. Don
Bros is next soon.

I'm buying the Rider line next as soon as I can get XYZ (SeriesXIX)
and Journeys (Series XXIII) of Pocket Monsters from Viz Media on DVD.
Master Journeys pre ordered.

With the delay for Turbo and Magi the Rider line is next.

I wanted to get the other lines caught up on DVD before
buying Rider shows.
