Because not everyone was around when the original figure was released and not everyone bothered looking up the features of a shitty old version of a figure when they announced a new one?

Yeah, I'll admit I didn't recall that function with the older figure.

What's cool about this one though is you have the ability to have the driver in the rotated position where you can put the cards in. What sucks is that it's hard to get the white piece off to put it on the alternate driver lol.

And the cards are very nice. I'm just hoping I don't lose them. What's nice is that the cards are already cut out and you basically just punch them out. And even further, Bandai included a little plastic baggy to put the cards in. The cards can also be placed back into the little cardboard piece that they're cut out from and they'll mostly stay in there. Very nice. Wish the Ryuki figures were done this way.

So does Decade finally come with his cards?

As I recall, the original Figuarts Decade release did as well. Mine is in storage so I can't double check, though. They just omitted them when they released VE. The cards the new one comes seem to be much better at first glance.

Well if they ever do a Shinkocchou Seihou Ryuki they'll use that format for his Advent Cards

You are correct. VE came with no cards, but the original release did, in the form of a long strip of cardboard, and you had to cut the cards out yourself. But at least you got two sets worth.

God damn new decades cards...

They are plastic and like to static cling to everything they come in contact with. I had to get someone help me to get them off my finger tips while trying to take them out of the runner they come in
