All 3 at Retail? That's a pretty cool surprise, but I probably won't get any of these unless I really like Akibaranger.

I am still mad that they went and released ShinkenGold and ShinkenRed in the US, but never bothered to release the rest of the team. Like WTF Bandai?! If I'm going to buy a ranger team, I want the entire team, not 33% of it!!!!

Calm down, dude.

Why we never got ShinkenBlue, Green, Pink and Yellow stateside was already explained a while back. It had to do with the fact that they were Tamashii web exclusives and couldn't be released here. (I can't exactly remember the details on it.)

As for the Figuart AkibaRangers getting a release so soon, it's most likely due to the fact that the show is aimed at older fans who are also most likely collectors. What better way to promote it since Bandai had a hand in the show as well, I believe.

Besides, it's not like JUST because these three are being released before other 3-member teams doesn't mean said other 3-member teams will never see a chance at being made ever. Just be patient.

I still would like to know why those four Shinkenger Figuarts figures are Tamashii web exclusives. Don't they know that they'd be making WAY more money if they had put them out as general releases? By making them super-hard to get, they will only please the secondary market because that's about the only place that fans can get them by paying outrageous prices.
