This new one... no. I'll watch it on DVD but am in no rush to see it on the big screen.
Those awful looking Megazord and Power Ranger figures on the shelves do the film no favours either.
I have always look at power ranger only from the toys stand point and nothing else. I would just watch it free when available and might even turn off halfway if its boring.Quote:

It also had a bit of a "1986 Transformers Movie" feel to it, because we were used to the first team of rangers, and their first feature film to cash in on their success featured the new (3) rangers and villians. They helped make the show popular enough to warrant a movie that then didn't have them in it.
Thought I'd give anyone south of the borfder a heads up. A while back I bought a case each of the Wave 4,5 and 6 Gashapon Resshas and while I got every single chase, I also wound up with quite a few doubles, still unopened and in box. Being Gashapon versions, they don't transform, but they do work with the Tokkyuchanger (the morpher for anyone not familiar with the series). They're all still MISB if anyone is wondering.
I'll take proper pics and post a proper f/s thread when I get back from Melbourne, but given that I'm a little uner the pump, I thought I'd mention what was here and provided I heard back from people by tomorrow night, I could bring some of them down wqith me if people were interested.
Prices vary wildly on ebay, thinking maybe $20 each for them.
Here are my doubles:
4x Build Ressha
4x Drill Ressha
3x Hyper Ressha
2xLion Ressha (From SafariGaOh)
1xEagle Ressha (From SafariGaOh)
1xAlligator Ressha (From SafariGaOh)
1xPanda Ressha (From SafariGaOh)
If people could let me know by tomorrow night, I'll pack them in the car with me and they can check them out before committing to anything - getting me the money there on the spot.
Soul of chogokin Dragonzord was out for pre orders today. I managed to nab one at 12980jpy

Not the best Japanese retailer but if you want one is available.
Thanks for the info, drifand.
I have never had an issue with AE. Always got my stuff.
Tho I am curious. Where did you find it for 12980Yen?
and who is this cheapest retailer you speak of?
Nippon yasan listed at 12,980jpy I bought two one for a member here in octa.Quote:

I won't say more as I am done with that retailer and imo a void retailer and should not even be mentioned.
AE I officially have not gotten into any issues but I had friends who had and some on this board. To me, when you buy from them. Make sure your address and everything is correct. Do not go changing orders etc.
I'd like to watch Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and I was wondering if any of the Super Sentai series are available in Australia, on DVD, Streaming, etc?
I was looking online and found the DVDs/BluRays from Japan are very expensive (Japan seems to be very expensive for disc media) and the cheap ones from Malaysia seem a bit suss. Any advice?
Problem with cheap ones from Malaysia is the poor English dubbed language. It gets funny. lolQuote:

Hasbro is now making power ranger toys after saban severed ties with bandai america.
https://www.powerrangersnow.com/hasb...s-toy-license/
But, this dose not affect the super sentai and bandai japan
And according to that article hasbro ceo and saban are close friends.
May not be a good thing. Eventually Disney will own it.Quote:

they be owning Netflix, and EVERYTHING in case you have not noticed.Quote:

Actually, wildforce to rpmQuote:

This is going to be interesting. From my understanding, Power Rangers is basically the western adaption of Super Sentai, which is owned by Bandai.Quote:

So I just looked up what Hasbro gets with their deal for Saban. Some sites have been saying that Hasbro will get the rights back to the 2001 Transformers RID, however that was sold by Saban to Disney long ago and thus Hasbro would have to work out a deal with Disney not Saban to get RID. Bummer.:(
Is anyone here collecting Power Rangers Lightning Collection?
I bought the Lord Zed figure. Seems pretty decent. I got him because he will scale well with the S.H.Figuarts Power Ranger figures I have. I have been eyeing off the Goldar figure too.Quote:

I read that Goldar is a store exclusive in the US. Is that right?
Have the White Ranger so far. The double-jointed elbows are a welcome feature.
Not familiar with Ranger Slayer. Did a quick image search - the costume looks cool!
I was but too many exclusives so they can stick it.Quote:

Too many exclusives makes it difficult for collectors Down Under. Although I haven't seen any regular release figures in physical stores either. Toymate should have them in-store, according to their website.
Kmart has listed the lightning collection online.
https://www.kmart.com.au/product/pow...sorted/2903342
Pleased Kmart is stocking the Lightning Collection. Hopefully they'll sell well enough to justify stocking the upcoming waves.
Anyone seen a Lightning Collection Morphin' Yellow Ranger in shops or online recently?
The only ones I've seen are the wave after (Morphin Blue, Time Red etc)Quote:
