It's good to watch the other series first then watch decade cause they do make alot of references to the past shows which you'll only understand if you have watched the past series.

For example alot of the original actors come back to reprise their roles. The guy who did Kenzaki in Blade comes back for a 5 minute cameo who kicks Decades ass. The guy who did Black and Black RX comes back for 2 episodes and the 2 guys who did Todoroki and Ibuki come back for the trip through Hibiki world, The Ace Riders from the Blade movie make a cameo as well. There's more dont want to spoil anything else.

Of the currently available series, which ones do you guys think I should avoid? And by currently available I mean I can only seem to find TV-Nihon versions for now

Currently about 5-6 episodes into Kabuto and loving every minute of it.

I would have to say Ryuki, never liked the whole concept of riders fighting riders making contracts with monsters and the whole jumping into a reflection thing. It was cool at first but after the 10th episode I just went meh this show sucks.

8 Eps into Kiva. I just can't get into this one.
I love the Rider design, but the show's boring. Does it get better?

Well, now that I am well into my Rider addiction, I face a dilemma. I want the toys! Specifically the S.H.Figuarts Kabuto figures. I am having a really hard time finding these... I was able to find the newly released Kabuto Hyper form, and Drake at HLJ, but all of the others are very hard to find. Especially Kick Hopper. Anybody have any idea where I may obtain the rest of the Kabuto Riders?

I can tell you this much: The aftermarket prices for Figuarts are ridiculous. You're best bet is to hit up a Japanese middleman and lurk around Yahoo Japan if you really, really want it.

If you can stand the wait: Wait for a reissue.

Hmm.. I have never really used any middleman services, any you would recommend?

That's the one i use the most often. You could also look around at HenshinJusticeUnlimited, and check out Okinawam and riderProxy. I never used their services but I hear good things about them.

I have heard Yokatta mentioned a few times, probably via Vangelus on youtube or WTF@TFW. So I think I will fire off an e-mail in their direction soon to see what options I have.

Thanks!

I ordered myself a figuarts FangJoker from BBTS.
I'd love to order some more but I value my life.
My wife would kill me.

On a side note, I'm still watching Kiva, figured wtf after watching 10 eps. Might as well keep going.
But can someone tell me, when the hell do they start answering questions? It seems like they just keep piling on more questions for the viewer,
or did I just miss something?
