This year is definitely going to be a tough one for tokusatsu collectors! For most obvious reasons, it's the economic recession and the more direct Japanese Yen (against Singapore Dollar) Inflation impact.
Production units for these toys are expected to be in lesser quantities, and also the higher retail prices. On average, one should expect to fork out at least an extra S$10 more than usual for an item. This is especially taxing if you look at the many things for the entire series!
Economics aside, both the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai Series seem to be very attractive for both domestic and international fans. For one, this year's Kamen Rider Decade is the 10th anniversary series for the Heisei Era. Also, the Samurai Motif for Samurai Sentai Shinkenger this year is exceptionally appealing to hardcore Super Sentai fans who saw last year's Engine Sentai Go-Onger a fiasco in terms of tradition and loyalty to the franchise.
Quite a number of collectors couldn't get the DX Decade Driver (Belt) from CSC already! Probably the same for the ShodoPhone and its Holder! It's not going to be easy to get one's hands on DX Shinken-Oh given the price and quantity imported.
Advice: "Act Fast!"
