Always ready to go.

If there's a better place to ask this, please let me know.

I was looking to buy Climax Heroes Fourze and the best price I've found is at YESASIA.com. Does anyone know if this site's legit? I know very little about importing.

They're legit, I've used them before, though not for games. I've usually found better prices elsewhere though, at least for toys.

Yesasia is fine, though they're overpriced for most items. If they have Climax Heroes Fourze for the cheapest, then get it.

Fourze was pretty awesome this week, once again. Ryusei cockblocking Gentaro was utterly hilarious, though it was probably a good idea... Very nice action scenes outside of transformations too. I was surprised to see Foundation X out of nowhere. It seems they're the Great Leader of W and on.

The Super Hero Taisen scenes in this week's Fourze OP look too funny. I'm sure the movie will be poorly paced nonsense, but man, it'll be fun!

Yes, also Amazon and Google shopping. YA has the lowest price I found and free shipping, unless there's some other place I haven't heard of to look at.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

Another movie question now that I've finished up the main series of W. Fantastic, by the way.

Currently I have this set as my Movie-watching schedule, according to the internet. I don't remember where I found the info.

Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Movie War Core - After Episode 14 of OOOs.

Kamen Rider W Returns - Accel and Eternal - After Core.

Let's Go Kamen Riders - After Episode 28 of OOOs.

I've read that both movies kind of exist outside of the continuity of OOOs so it doesn't really matter when you watch them. Is that true? I think I'll at least start watching OOOs before I get into the movies either way, at least to get some understanding of OOOs and what he can do. Even if I do want more W as soon as possible.

I still don't think I've watched all the W movies. I believe I'm missing whatever movie explained where the Lost Driver was acquired, and the Fang memory.

e: I know where the Fang memory came from, but I feel like I was missing a chunk of movie in between one of the episodes.

Other than those two occasions, the movies aren't so important, they didn't hinder the series in any other occasion by not watching them.

W Forever A-Z is the one between episodes 44 and 45 that explains, presumably, where the Lost Driver came from. It also introduces a couple other story pieces that come into play, like NEVER, later in the series.

Decade and W Movie War 2010 is the one that first introduces the Fang Memory between 14 and 15 and explains how Phillip and Shotaro became W. If you haven't seen them they're really entertaining. At least, A-Z was for me and the W part of the Movie War.

As for the OOOs movies, I just want more W. Even if the role is minor. I even looked up a bit of the All Riders VS Dai Shocker movie just for his intro. Didn't watch the rest though, so I'm not sure if it's any good.

Movie Core war is 2/3s meh, and 1/3 AWESOME (that's the Skull part)

Let's Go Kamen Rider has cool moments, but the story makes NO loving SENSE. At all. Logic gets rider kicked to oblivion, but whatever still good for a laugh.

Haha! I was wondering about that too. I figured she kept the bandages on because she was scarred or disfigured by Ryubee, that makes sense. But the fact that she had them on still when the Sonozakis were all floating around fine in Memoryland with Phillip was just funny to me. I mean, Ryubee got to hang out fine even after presumably being burnt and crushed to death in his mansion, why shouldn't she be able to go without bandages for a minute?

The Skull part is really all I'm watching Core for. But I figured I sat thru all of Decade's part for their crossover movie, so I may as well do the same for OOOs.

It's kinda like an Uzi mode. Like the front part becomes a clip, and there's a smaller barrel that's revealed. It's easier to see in the toy than on the actual show. The best is Heat Trigger MAXIMUMDRIVERMAXIMUMDRIVEMAXIMUMDRIVE *giant nuke*

That was a Twin Maximum and I assume they all involve giant explosions.

So I'm loving all the Cosmic State fights so far. Rather than just blotting out Fourze's usual shtick with the switches, it's just taking it to a new level. If they can keep up using this many switches Cosmic State might just be my favorite rider final form.

So continuing my Fourze lovefest, I've recently realized how strong the music direction is. I came to this conclusion while I was looking to see if I could find Meteor Storm's BGM(the instrumental one, looking back it first shows up at around 17:00 in ep 28) because I had it stuck in my head for some reason, and as I was searching around youtube for the Fourze OST, I clicked to a video that just had a track number and I was able to identify the song within the first few bars. Poking around some more I found I could again place most of the character themes without looking at the titles. It's not something I had picked up on previously, but now that I've noticed it, it's pretty cool.

An example. Think about how quickly you recognize the song, and whether or not it triggers visual memory.

Giant Step's instrumental is really excellent. I still think Kiva has some of the best Rider Endings out there. Innocent Trap, Supernova, Fight for Justice, and Shout in the Moonlight are all easily top 10 tracks.

Yeah, I'm watching Fourze with a guy who's only seen a couple scattered Heisei rider shows and when they showed up I was like Oh hey, I remember these guys from W and OOO and he was completely flabbergasted that the recent shows had any hint of actual continuity.

Well, except that he didn't have the T2 Metal or Trigger Memories. I suppose in the series finale he could have used them... but then again, he IS the Joker.

Yeah I meant in the finale, he was using the normal Joker memory then so there's no reason he couldn't have swapped in Metal or Trigger.

Didn't the T2 memories all get destroyed at the end of the movie? The T2s have blue tips and the Joker memory Shotaro uses in the final episode is gold tipped like all of his T1 memories.

I assumed the Chief was the only man in Fuuto badass enough for the Skull memory, even as a dead man, to go to. So he used its power to become Ghost Skull and give the Driver to Shotaro.

It's the only reason that's hard boiled enough to make sense.
