Kamen Rider Mask Collection by Bandai

Just realised that this is the 101st post! Despite the extremely irregular posting frequency, I've managed to come this far; so not bad, I guess.

The past month, I've been busy collecting these Kamen/Masked Rider mini-masks. The Kamen Rider Mask Collection by Bandai has been released for many years now (I think volume 1 was released in 2005 or 2006) and is currently on its 4th volume. It would be categorised under 'Trading Figures' since the masks are in random boxes. Some of the stands come with an LED so when you press down on the mask, the eyes light up, which is pretty cool.
I was only interested in the 'classic' riders since I don't care much for the newer series. So after much searching on the phone (calling the local shops) and on google, I managed to complete my collection! I bought the entire set for volume 1 and 4 since it was impossible to find the loose pieces and I sold-off the non-classic riders on yahoo auction. Some pieces are much more rare than others. For example: in a carton of 100 masks, there may be only 2 Amazons. As a result, the only way to get an Amazon is to buy the whole set or pay a crazy amount.
