The Kabaya RID/Adventure model kits were just released by HLJ, and they have them noted as a case of 8 for the five model kits, which means 3 doubles.

The Decoy figurines from January still haven't been released, so their release date is now unknown.

Bruticus has now been added to Amazon Japan, which gives us its release date in June - the 25th. (now added to the listing above)
