I just ordered from the Big Bad Toy Store - $174.99 with $4 shipping. I think just about everyone knows this; but if you're in the USA and you buy a BANDAI product from Japan, it is NOT WARRENTIED. If you buy it in the States, it's covered. I like to be extra careful - you never know what can happen.

So the next time this happens is somewhere around April I think. At least until the release on July? yup , so don't be surprised when you see another pending charge near the end of April. They will also email you about it too.

I rather have peace of mind in knowing BBTS will take care of any issues that may arise, versus having this piece early and saving a few bucks because I bought it from Asia, but having no recourse to fix any issues.

I just decided to order from Eknight after requesting a cancellation from CD Japan.
They say that in order to cancel a CD Japan preorder,it has to still be processing or not yet payed and I have to email them to do so.
Just cancelled my preorder from CD Japan.
So now I have EKnight Media to thank again for some amazing pricing for their stuff at the cost of getting stuff a month later.

Thanks! I was able to pre-order one before it sold out again! I always preferred the Japanese box for GX-72 (though I did end up with the American version), so I'm probably going to want the Japanese box for this. Only problem is that now the boxes won't match.

Gasp! From the NY Toy Fair Tamashii NAtions booth. I hope they actually reissue all the SHF MMP Rangers! This time it seems they will come with new "unmasked" heads. I was contemplating backtracking the SHF for the SOC Megazords, glad this info came out before I pulled the trigger. In other Power Rangers news, it seems Bandai and Saban are parting ways? HASBRO will be handling the USA brand for Saban from here on? www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-fi/power_rangers/power-rangers-franchise-reveals-new-logo-announces-new-partnership-with-hasbro-a157933I guess Bandai and Toei will still do the "Super Sentai" stuff and Hasbro and Saban will be doing USA "Power Rangers" brand handling?

That is awesome about the SH Figuarts. Don't really care about the heads (they look a bit strange with the skinnier body) but it will be good to get the red ranger without paying outrageous aftermarket prices. Hopefully they'll re-release more of them.
Yeah that is surprising about Hasbro. Seems that it is becoming a monopoly as they are also producing Star Wars, Marvel, and Transformers. They do have more resources than Bandai America so some of the mainline Power Rangers products may be improved, though I wouldn't say drastically.

I know this is necroposting but I have been wondering somewhere down the line will Bandai do an SoC for the Thunder Megazord and maybe the Tigerzord as well.
Having the Thunder Megazord with functioning legs and arms as well as detailed mini figures much like the DX toys that ride on top of each Thunderzord would be awesome.

Bandai just lost the Power Rangers license, so I assume this will be the last one in the series. Am I wrong in assuming that? 🤔

Dunno if this affects Bandai Japan proper. We will see in the future. Though if Hasbro is thinking of doing a Masterpiece Line for various mecha from Power Rangers,I don't mind partaking in said figures.

Yeah Bandai Japan is still working with Toei to make Super Sentai toys. I just saw that they are planning to make a mini-pla for Muteki Shogun (Shogun Megazord), but I would much rather have a SOC or Super Sentai Artisan release.
