Hello everyone. I'm Funasen, in charge of CSM development.

We sincerely apologize for the continued wait for the delivery of "CSM Faiz Gear ver.2".
Today I would like to report on the current situation.

Product development has already been completed, and mass production is currently underway. However, regarding the daily production volume (amount that can be produced in one day) that was initially planned for mass production, there were fluctuations within the factory after we actually went into mass production, and the actual production volume is now less than the original daily production volume.
Therefore, while we previously announced that the first shipment would be delivered between September and October, it is now expected that it will be delivered between November and December.
Due to this delay, the second batch is expected to be delivered between December and January 2024, and the third batch between January and February 2024. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

It says November to December, but with the current shipping plan, if there are no delays, delivery will be at the end of November, and if there is a one week delay, delivery will be around the beginning of December, which is just on the border between two months, so we have decided to indicate it as a two-month period.

During the "NARIKIRI WORLD Special" that aired the other day, it was mentioned that "it will be delivered soon," and at the time of the recording of the program, it was on track to be delivered by October, but the situation has changed since then.
As the development team, we were working hard to deliver the Faiz Gear before the announcement of the "CSM FAIZ DRIVER NEXT" at "NARIKIRI WORLD 2023" (October 20th), but it has become difficult to achieve this.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we ask that you please wait a little longer for delivery.


Continuing on with today's blog, we would like to share some advance information about the recently announced Gaim 10th Anniversary commemorative product, the "CSM Genesis Driver."​


Three product names were announced on the teaser page.
Below is an introduction to what this is about.

① "CSM Genesis Driver"
⇒This is the main product this time, the full set version that includes a Lockseed.
It comes with multiple Energy Lock Seeds. This product is equivalent to the "CSM SENGOKU DRIVER."

② "CSM Genesis Driver Buckle Edition"
⇒This is a separate product that includes only the Genesis Driver and the belt. Energy Lockseed is not included.
The Genesis Core is included as it is part of the main body. This product is equivalent to the "CSM SENGOKU DRIVER Project Arc Edition".
In other words, this product is for those who want to display multiple Energy Lock Seeds together by attaching them all to a belt.
Previously, we named the product after "Project Ark," the mass production plan for SENGOKU DRIVER in reference to the setting in the movie, but since the Genesis Driver was an item with no plans for mass production aimed at ordinary people, we decided to give it an alternative name that simply reflected Contents.

③ "CSM Energy Lockseed Set"
⇒This product only contains the "Energy Lock Seed" included in ①.
This product corresponds to the "CSM Lockseed Set Series" and is perfect for those who want to own multiple Energy Lockseeds, or for those who simply love Gaim and want to become a Jimber Arms but don't need the Genesis Driver.
The "CSM SENGOKU DRIVER" comes with a Genesis Core included from the start, so when combined it can become the Jimber Arms.

We will start accepting pre-orders for the above three products from this Friday. Thank you for your cooperation.

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on October 6th. We will introduce the details of the Genesis Driver.
