How many more times should we have to repeat that?

Be patient: TFWiki is handled by volunteers, so updates are sporadic and the pages aren't entirely up-to-date most of the time.

I get that. I was asking (poorly worded) if someone knew what wave he was included with. A little more digging and I found him. Part of a two pack that hasn't made it to the US.

And to help out Kanrabat: My guess is about $20-25 American dollars. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I know that, as a kid, I would never ask for, or allow these disgusting lumps of plastic s@#t near my collection, and would consider it an affront to kids everywhere. As I had a couple of the lever action ones from BW, I AM okay with simple transformations, or auto-transformations, so long as they yield a satisfactory figure... which these are not.

You guys had some pretty high standards when you were kids. When I was a kid I didn't care about articulation, I just cared if it was a robot that turned into something. And that's really all that drives most kids these days, too.
Here, let me show you something that will blow your mind:
That is the DX Shurikenjin from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger from Japan, it sells for ¥8,984 (about US$73) and is only articulated at the shoulders, and there is literally just a smaller robot sitting in its chest with a funny hat on. It's easily the most ridiculous thing I've seen come out of Super Sentai and that's coming right off a series about trains. It's not a very good looking figure by most accounts, and yet it has been one of the top 5 best selling toys in Japan since February! And that's all toys including girls and collectables. MP Star Saber beat it for one week (1st place) and Legends Leader Megatron a few weeks ago (3rd place), but otherwise this thing has been dominating the toy sales in Japan for about four months now. It was the number three best selling toy for March and number four for April and May.
Kids don't care about articulation, they barely care about looks, they only care about if it's fun or not. I know when I was a kid I'd definitely want the giant 11 inch figure that turned into a tank no matter how simple the transformation was.

I think the thing that confuses me the most about this, besides what the hell the theme of the individual giant robots is supposed to be, is how the wolf is such a completely unnecessary part of the megazord. It's not even its own individual limb, it has to combine with the rear of the train zord that forms the rest of the waist and legs. And what is that the torso turns into a dump truck? Yes it is. It is a dump truck. what the hell. We have a ninja, a wolf, a dragon, a dump truck and a train? who was in charge of the mecha for this? I don't even. I just don't even. It's like they got drunk and threw darts at a board full of "things that could be mecha"
