Power Rangers

[griffin]

I saw the Power Rangers movie in the cinemas back in the 90s and enjoyed it.

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.

Yeah... when I first saw them at TRU a few weeks back I said to myself that those toys look like Michael Bay had a hand in their "re-imagination".

That first PR movie was a bit campy but was still fun to watch... and was filmed in Sydney, standing in as Angel Grove, to recognise parts of the city.
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.

Looks like it's now pre-sold out at most places. When did the pre-order go up?
