Kamen Rider Drive Toy Thread...vrooom

HerbieHero · 11-17-2014, 08:17 PM

Got my Drive Driver and first two DX Shift Car sets in end of last week...consider the Kool-Aid drunk, I haven't stopped fiddling with the blasted things since. Also makes me glad I hacked together a belt extension some months ago--wearing the driver actually enhances the experience by quite a bit. Now it'll take all my willpower to avoid dumping all my money into the Brake Gunner...and more Shift Cars/Viral Cores...and everything else coming out between now and the end of the holidays. (Well, except the Steering Sword--that's already in my private warehouse!)

As someone who came in about halfway through Gaim, getting into one of these toylines on the ground level is pretty nice.

Do we know what day the Brake Gunner and Viral Cores are being released this month?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it: the 22nd. Can't wait.

Yeah I'm pretty pumped for it, after seeing that it can tune regular shift cars definitely sealed the deal for me.

That's really cool. I don't even have or want the Drive Driver, but the Break Gunner is really tempting. Chase has grown on me so much since the initial scans.

GUN!

At this rate, I feel like it will be a much easier task to collect all the Viral Cores instead of Shift Cars by a large margin, too.

Nice, I waited for some in-hand videos because I was worried about the size of that thing, but it looks like any average adult hand can hold it fairly well, it's not too small.

The sounds are cool too, so I will keep my pre-order for this thing and the Viral Core Set 01 up.

The only thing that still bugs me (not a fault of the toy though) is that they didn’t utilize a new mechanic for the Viral Cores. Like to activate them, you need to slam the purple thing above the handle down instead of just insert it. But oh well, nitpicks only, that thing is still awesome.

Soooo I was playing around with my TK01 yesterday and when I was moving the arm around I accidentally scraped off part of the Type Speed sticker on the driver with Drives arm.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that this might happen on your figure.

Bandai's candy toy front page updated to show two of the Driving Action figures (4" action figures that can still do the main line gimmick).

I'm assuming the rest of the wave is Machine Chaser and more tires.

Got HLJed with my Tire Set Second. Went straight to backorder

Oddly mine was fulfilled. Though once again, I had it sent to warehouse and now they're telling me this item is ready to ship and are demanding payment. I intended to warehouse it until TK Chaser comes out next month. Now I'm obligated to pay for shipping just for this set.
