[talk] Astro switch rack?

[Kamen Rider Kry]

apparently the pre-orders have come and gone and they have been distributed already... so why can't I find them for sale or anything like on Ebay? I am sure some people would have bought a rack just to sell it for a higher price?

I've been wondering the exact same thing, especially with as crazy as things got with the OOO medal case last year.

The only thing I can think is that the demand for them was relatively low. I mean I love collecting the switches, but the rack just seems silly with the way it was set up, plus no where to put the Meteor or exclusive switches.

Just look how stupid the magphones look sticking out so far, they should be holstered vertically and symmetrically on either sides of the holder.

Also because of the way the switches sit in the holder, display-wise it completely defeats the purpose of buying the DX switches for the shiny labels, because in this format they aren't visible anyway.

Thats my take on it :/

I was only interested if the Core Switch was functional (as in electronically functional), but I still have no idea if it is or not. As for the rack itself, I really need a place to put my switches (I'm currently using the carton from my Fourze Driver for all my switches and sitting all the DX weapons on top - it's a damn mess and I don't recommend it), but it sits up far too high for my liking. The angle is terrible. If it was flat, or maybe very slightly angled, I think it would fair much better.

As for not finding them, well, I know the pre-orders came and went. They were up for a while, and in the end, I just decided not to bother because of the stupid price. I would also say the demand was probably pretty low. Anyone in their right mind would find something better (and far cheaper) to hold their switches. The Core Switch was the only incentive, and if it does nothing (apart from move - if it even does that), then it wasn't worth it, in my opinion.

By the way, it DID only come out at the end of last month (supposedly - that was the estimated shipping date), so they may still be on there way to people. Also, I just saw a video on YouTube that clearly shows a giant version of the astro switch rack in the actual show, somewhere in their little lab bit in the Rabbit Hutch. It still doesn't look any better, though.
