I have Great Gobuster Oh and images on the net make him look clunky, but he's actually quite good.

And I will admit that I have to laugh at complaints about chunky and clunky figures when it comes to Sentai machines. At this point, you kinda know what to expect so a streamlined super poseable mech just isn't going to happen for this stuff unless Bandai chooses to do MP level stuff.

Rai Oh is supposed to make Gobuster King just massive. I guess we will see when it's released.

It's not necessarily the clunkiness that gets me, it's how some small parts get attached in random places for the sake of attaching them :lol:

G12 or the RPM Ultrazord is the worst offender for that.

The most randomly placed parts for Great Gobuster Oh would have to be the Buddyroids. They are just kinda thrown onto it.

Well, they have to go somewhere to avoid losing them, right? :lol:

And good news, it seems we're finally getting the 2nd year Super Samurai toys, including the Zord Vehicles. I saw the BeetleZord plus the Sword Cycles and normal Ranger figures, hopefully the Clawzord isn't too far behind. I want my Daikai Shinken-Oh!

By the by, do you have the Bull Zord? How is he compared to Mougyuu Dai-Oh?

News Credits: 12 · by **robofreak** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 6:47 pm

I have the Bullzord. He's about 1/3 of the size of Ushi.

He's got extending legs that allow for the Haoh formation, but unlike Ushi, no where near as boxy.

I still need ushi and the blaster for Shinkenger. All I have is the Shinkenoh and Daikaioh.

I guess the Bullzord is only good for display in robot mode, or at the very least give the robot portion of the Gigazord actual proportionate arms, unlike those of Haoh.

Gigazord does have nice arms for it.

I need a Ushi origami! I need that behemoth of a Haoh.

yes, big fan of super sentai and kamen rider here
i collect the DX mecha from sentai (and i have a few roleplay toys from go-onger because of the engine souls), and the S.H. Figuarts line Kamen rider figures

small overview of the sentai mecha:
hurricaneger, complete except revolver mammoth
boukenger complete
gekiranger complete
go-onger complete except go-roader, which i don't want
shinkenger, missing daigoyou
goseiger, only the headder packs so far
go-buster, only the bugzords so far
and a mib dragon ceasar i bought for my birthday this year

my goal is to obtain all DX sentai mecha from zyuranger onwards, but since the older ones can be very expensive, the pacing is not very high... expecially if you also collect other stuff

My Power Ranger/Super Sentai collection is still very small.

2010 MMPR Dino Megazord (not too bad but I still want an original)
Titan Megazord (easily my favorite and most poseable)
Wolkaiser (can't beat his centaur mode)
DriveMax Megazord (missing some small parts but I picked it up at a garage sale for $1.00 so I can't complain)
Great Go-Buster Oh
Gojyujin
PR Samurai Gigazord

As for the shows I am slowly making my way through all the Power Rangers shows on Netflix (I stopped watching them after Zeo). I have seen all of Gokaiger including the movies. Watching Go-Busters as they come out. Also stared watching Kamen Rider Wizard as well.

I just started mine yesterday by buying the Super Robot Ghogokin Megazord/Daizyujin and wow. I might get the others in the series that are from Super Sentai/Power Rangers now too.

Finally bit the bullet on 3 toys I never thought I would actually get:

Green Ranger Beetlezord
Blue Ranger Swordfishzord
Red Ranger Tigerzord

I had set my sight on the Tigerzord alone, and leave the Beetlezord, but the sudden appearance of the Swordfishzord made me reconsider the rest. So I got all three as an early Sinterklaas present for myself :lol:

Even better, had some gift certificates from long ago, plus the store was having a 15% off sale of everything. The result: got all three at 50% their retail price. Not too shabby. ;)^

Now I still need the Clawzord, the OctozordSquidzord and the Samurai Shark. Please let them appear in Europe, or still be available when I move to the US in June... :PRAY:

I just picked up Gosei Great Megazord. Overall, apart from the Dino Megzord, it's the first of the US offerings that I'm pleased with. It's not 100% accurate to the show counterpart, but structurally I think it's a better piece and better designed.

I'm thinking about picking up the Gokaiger Figuarts. Can anyone vouch for them?

by **wilcosu35** » Tue Dec 04, 2012 12:40 am

i've got gokai blue, green and silver and yes, i can. they're fine figures.
i also collect figuarts sentai and riders

I collect a few Toku toys here and there, Mostly Kamen Rider, because I got sucked in years ago, wound up buying several items and wanting a lot of the earlier stuff I missed out on (Which at the time was about 37 years of history to go through) and tried desperately to avoid watching any Sentai for fear of wanting to buy their stuff, too. Got a few Rider belts (Decadriver + Ride Booker + K-Touch from Decade, Super Best Double Driver from W/Double, and the Birth Driver from OOO) some SH Figuarts (Kuuga, Faiz, Ichigo from Kamen Rider THE FIRST, Shin Ichigo, and Black RX) Working on collecting the entire FMCS (Fourze Module Change Series) line.. I got candy toys, roleplay weapons, some SIC Kiwami Tamashii figures (Just 'cause they're cheap and look cool) and various other odds and ends..

Now I've started on Sentai... I watched and thoroughly enjoyed Gosei Sentai Dairanger (Started there for nostalgia's sake, I loved MMPR's Thunderzords, which were pulled from Dairanger)... I'll be damned if I don't want the Aurachanger (Or at least the Magna Defender morpher since they used the Aurachanger for it) and I fear the day I've got enough money to blow on DaiRenOh...

Between this and my Transformers collection, it's no wonder I'm broke :lol:

I just got back to my dad's place in Italy, where I grew up, and was going through the drawers under my bed.

Found these guys.

Old school.

Ninjas!

ZOMG Triple changers!

Possibly my favourite for a long time.

All together now!

If I were to sell them, how much would these be worth on the secondary market by now?

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Thu Dec 20, 2012 5:26 pm

Personally, I wouldn't know. What I do know is that the Ninja Megazord is missing the two swords for the Ape, and the Megazord is missing his sword (but I think you already knew that). The Rescue Megazord should also come with two small blasters, plus two black heel pieces for balancing. But the Statoforce Megazord is 100% complete ;)^

You should ask Autobot032, he seems to be the more savvy when it comes to Power Rangers

I know not all of them are complete, yeah.

Megazord does have his sword (last pic) but is missing one of the small cannon-things - so I removed the other too, for symmetry's sake.

I remember the Ape's swords now, yes! I wonder where they are... Never saw the black heel pieces for Rescue Megazord. :-?

Slowly building up a decent Sentai collection in terms of Ranger Keys and DX mecha sets.

So far I own a PR White Tigerzord (sword is wonky), Red Dragonzord (missing staff), Super Zeo Megazord (missing one sword), Ninja Megazord (missing the 2 swords for the apezord), Daivoyager, Daibouken, Gokaioh, Gojyujin and Gokai Machines 1-4.

Absolutely love the Gokaiger mecha and Boukenger mecha and can't wait to build up the collection over time.

Well, Megaforce has been around in Europe for a while now, but compared to Germany which has every single thing I'd want (should have at least gotten the Lions), the Netherlands' offerings are simply sad:

- Gosei Great Megazord (only one chain has him)
- Brothers Zord Vehicles (again, one chain, only seen the Sky ones so far)
- Miracle Cycles (Vulcan Headder and Miracle Dragon Headder)
- Morphin Vehicles

And one store still has Samurai backstock, including the Megazord. But alas, no ClawZord for me. Even after a year, I knew I should have gotten him on one of my US trips. But did I listen to my guts? No... :BANG_HEAD:

With my recent acquisition of the Legacy Dragonzord, I figured I'll post a picture up of my small MMPR collection:

My final collection will include:
All 6 of the original Rangers as done in the SG Figuarts line (4 of 6 obtained, 2 of 6 on preorder)
Legacy Megazord (obtained)
Legacy Dragonzord (obtained)
Legacy Titanus (not yet available)
Legaacy Morpher w/six coins (5 obtained, Green Ranger coin en route)

I have a few in the vault I need to build but if you folks can find them for cheap pick up the Tokuger mini-pla sets, they're really fun to build and the Megazord is really articulated.
