update:

got my Command Twin Buckle and Raising Sword yesterday. no Tycoon ID with it.

Beat and Monster having IDs only raised the price compared to Ninja by maybe $5 or so.

the campaign didn't add anything to the price to get Tycoon's.

if I want it now, it's at least $70 on ebay. yay. -_-

Man, it's rough to be a toy collector in the modern era

so, first they choose to make Tycoon's ID a separate campaign item that, if you're not in Japan or VERY lucky with your middle-man service, ends up costing ridiculous amounts on ebay.

then they make a Vice core ID for the new movie that just came out as one of the items you get for buying movie tickets. same deal as Tycoon, be in Japan, or pay a ridiculous markup online.

NOW they're doing this on P-Bandai (hidden because episode 15 spoilers)

I get the Vice one for selling movie tickets, but if you were gonna make everyone's IDs P-Bandai items, just lump all of them together, make it easier for collectors, please.

also, based on what little I could see on the P-Bandai Japan site (for some reason clicking ANYTHING redirects to one single page where they try to then shunt you off to your region's P-Bandai, and you're not allowed to see any of Japan's stuff) it's about 3,300 yen for all that, so let's see what it ends up really costing.

P-Bandai's website is the worst. It used to be you could get through if you just clicked through enough, but they patched that out

also, kinda bummed that set includes stuff from the movie and this week's episode, but doesn't include John and Ben's cores, given how good of a look we got at them.

here's hoping they DO get released eventually (and heck, if they're not in the "here's everyone unimportant plus some spoilers" set, maybe that means there's more planned for them?)

Maybe Ben and John will get a bigger role later on? They are series regulars, so it's hard to imagine they won't get an actual transformation at some point. I also like how they're both cats, like Nago. It's like poetry, it rhymes

if they, and any other cat themed riders if there end up being more, ultimately don't do too much important in the plot by the end (Rider shows do have a tendency to just forget to give chunks of the cast anything to do after a while, sadly), we can refer to them, hopefully playfully, as trash characters.

because they're a "litter" of kittens.

if I might vent for a moment: I now own Tycoon's ID. it cost me $45 on ebay and finally came in the mail this past monday.

I just found out the site I've bought most of my Geats merch from, in particular the Raising Sword and Command Twin Buckle set, had some number of them and was selling them for $12.

so: a) I massively overpaid, like I knew I'd have to, but b) if you HAD some, WHY DIDN'T I GET ONE WITH MY SWORD, LIKE THE CAMPAIGN BONUS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE?!

Yeah, that situation sucks. I kind of hate this modern age of scalpers and everything being artificially scarce. (Yeah, I know that's always been the case with cards and stuff, but it didn't feel like I had to fight people to get a PS4 at least)
