Um. These are usually sold individually, actually, but retailers get them in boxes of 6, and sometimes they will sell them just like that.
Trading arts are when you don't know which figure you're getting inside until you open the box. So if you buy a box of 6 you're much more likely to get the one you want. But, even though there are only 5 figurines in the set, even if you buy a box of 6 it doesn't mean you'll get one of everything plus an extra. You could be really unlucky and get 6 Lymles. >> It's intended for people to trade amongst themselves, therefore "trading arts".
In HK there are shops which sell the boxes OPENED. I prefer those places. Sure, I pay more than the RRP for my Faize, but at least I'm sure I'm getting a Faize!
Well, they sort of spanned the fanbaits with the characters in SO4, right? I'm not sure who'd end up being the least popular character--quite probably Edge, come to think of it.
