What makes the price jump even funnier is that I saw a recent newspaper article where Funtastic (the local distributors of Power Rangers and Ben 10) were moaning over how toy sales had drastically dropped over the past quarter.Quote:

So what's wrong with this picture?
Hey guys, I've just whacked up a sales thread that has a pair of items you might find interesting - Preference goes to those attending this weekend's Parramatta Collector's Fair. :)
for sale $60
Mint In box BIO LASER
BANDAI FRANCE released

So, supposedly Super Megaforce toys are out in the US. Eight months before we see them?
Anyone have any advice on where to get SH Figuarts online? Do any of the Australian stores have online shops? I'm looking at BBTS but I'm wondering if there's a closer option to home.
I use AmiAmi and Mandarake for all my Figuarts. Super reliable and very fast. Or I'll pay a little extra to buy them from One Stop Anime in the CBD.
I'd never use BBTS. Ridiculous prices and shipping? No thanks.
What Gouki said. I use Rakuten too but with since its a group of different stores, you're gonna have to be careful which store you use or you'll find yourself accidentally ordering from 5 different stores.
More details about the Legacy Dragonzord have come out
Should combine with the Legacy Megazord. I may have to track that thing down, I do like the proportions on it better.
I hope it can also form the Dragonzord fighting mode.
from the picture you posted it looks like it has some connectors on the back of the lower half of the legs to do it.Quote:

After seeing the dragon dagger and the dragonzord, really want to pick up the legacy morpher and the legacy megazord. Also the eventual green ranger morpher.
Where is the best place to source the legacy morpher and megazord from? Ive seen TRU.com and apparently it does ship internationally, not sure if it will ship to Australia and the costs.. etc.
How have you guys obtained these pieces?
Have these been released in local Australian TRU's?
Any advice would be appreciated! :D
The Legacy Megazord was supposed to be released down here in October. To the best of my knowledge it hasn't shown up, and if it does, I shudder to think how hard they're going to jack up the price. Anyone willing to wager around the $150-$200 mark? :eek:Quote:

My partner just ordered the DX Metallic Zyudenchi set! I cannot wait. Kyoryuger has seriously just connected with me in a way I wasn't expecting. I never want it to end, and every episode just leaves me grinning lime I'm 6 again. There's so much joy and fun in that show.
anyone know where i can get the legacy stuff? I preordered the dragon morpher so far.. Need the rest ;)
can anyone let me know if they see a legacy power morpher anywhere? :)
I saw one in TRU Morley, WA.Quote:

Bandai America's Booth at New York Toy Fair 2014 (HD)
although its aimed at collectors, it is limited edition and contains die-cast Titanus will be $200 USD
Makes sense. They did the Legacy Megazord, and the Legacy Dragonzord. Need a Legacy Titanus to round out the trio.
Ugh my wallet already hates me.
Must get titanus....
If I read that article right, they said it would be $200, and that is the US price. *gulps*Quote:

I agree.. I really would like to see just how much of it is diecast to warrant that $200 price point. I am hoping that the main body is all diecast. :DQuote:

There's the usual suspects as well:
Amiami
hobbysearch
quite handy for recent stuff
I'd go with those guys over BBTS any day. I feel liek I pay for double handling when buying Japanese stuff from BBTS.
Never go with BBTS for Sentai stuff. You're paying to have the items shipped to America, to be shipped to Australia. Couple that with their already (in my mind) high prices for imported items best to avoid.
CStoys is pretty good, as well. And so is Mandarake.
Is also about 10-15% mark up to what the Japanese stores sell them for.Quote:

Does anyone know if we are supposed to be getting the Armored Might Megaforce figures in this country, or has anybody seen them? Figuarts are great, but I want an unarmored MMPR Green!
BBTS has found a stash of Legacy Megazords. Price is a tad steep, better than eBay though.
Did they ever release the legacy Megazord and Dragon Zord in aus? Saw them on bbts but they seem overpriced...but they are diecast so mmm...
I don't believe they did dude; I remember Kalel tweeting me a photo of the Legacy Morpher that he came across in a Victorian TRU, but I don't believe the Zords ever saw release here at least I've not seen them at my local TRU but it, in the end, is just an Express store. :oQuote:

Here in Canada I am STILL waiting for them to get stock!! :/
oh! I thought it would have come out here as they have the legacy ranger belts at Toy R US here in perth. Dragonzord is 79ish USD on amazon with their cheap shipping!Quote:

When I was in Japan akihabara train station I seen this awsome display of those newer power rangers... Definitely opened up a big pot of nostalgia and when I seen the dragon zord issue, I nearly got it.. I think I may still do, but I'm hoping for a masterpiece edition of all the original megazords.. I wouldn't think twice haha
*Newer release of the original PR's*
Recieved the reissue dragon zord finally.
very surprised how heavy he was. I knew there was diecast but wasn't expecting that much.
He is very nicely done... For an american toy.. haha.
Good to hear dude; from what I saw of him in Peaugh's review he looked like a superb re-release, especially with the die-cast content and Zyuranger-based stickers/details :eek: as well as the retooling to his combined-mode's staff weapon handle AND the segmented tail! :eek:Quote:
