Also don't expect Bandai to try to reduce the number of box for a robot, they will in fact do quite the opposite (usually 5 or 6 is a rule). Capitalism rules The only one where they tried to do an effort was for the moraimars with only 2 box (but 2 is too few for that and you can feel it once you have actually built the robot). |

Partial rereleases aren't too rare, but a full one like this is. IIRC,Kyuranger had quite a few - two Shishis (Kyuren-Oh took up two sets to get all the main voyagers, so repeat of shishi) then included a second Sasori in set 3 and 4 other repeat limb voyagers in set 5 for Cerberios. LuPat had Good Striker twice (1 and 2), and blue and yellow twice (1 and 5).
It seems like they throw in repeats if there's a mecha that can't fit in one set, or a movie mecha that uses some parts from the main one. I guess this is because TigerLance and MilNeedle still need parts from Toricane and Ankyloze but the fact that that's the entire set is still weird |

So it make sense to sell it together with kishiryu 3 knights to make kishiryu 5 knights (even more if as you said you need parts from triken and ankylose to do any other forms with tigerlance , milneedle or dimevolcano) Wonder if they will do it again for future release ( ShineRaptor, ShadowRaptor, Pachygaru) |

Thanks for pointing out set 02 going on sale!
I'm wary of ordering it, particularly because I already ordered set 3 sight-unseen. Also, I recently built set 1, and my feelings about it are a little mixed. Good stuff: - Easy build. - Great articulation. - They included some (unimpressive) extra gun and drill parts so boxes 1-3 can make a complete KishiryuOh, and these are useful for integrating into different mecha combinations. - As expected, you can put together lots of different combinations. The not-so-good-stuff: - Dull gray plastic on Triken and Ankyrose doesn't look great. - Design flaw: because you'll be constantly switching parts, the stickers take a beating. The sticker on the Tyramigo KishiryuOh head on mine got mangled because you have to apply a good amount of pressure to switch heads, and I've switched heads quite a bit. - Ankyrose and Triken are not great mecha. Whereas Tyramigo is pretty good as a stand-alone, the other two are useless outside combinations. - Connection ports and joints are weak and prone to falling apart. Stuff is constantly popping off of mine, and the elbows do not want to stay together. Given that you'll be switching stuff on the arms regularly, this is a problem. This is the finickiest Sentai minipla I've handled, and I've only owned it for a week. |

This is the finickiest Sentai minipla I've handled, and I've only owned it for a week. I've gone ahead and ordered the set. I don't wanna miss out. If I end up with extras, I will deal with them somehow, or they will be good to have as back up |

Bandai blog updated to review Jet Icarus and Jet Garuda.
Can't wait to receive them The next sentai super minipla series will be sun vulcan. According to the blog and the google translate they intend to do the robot and the Jaguar Vulcan base (expect an expensive bandai premium release for this ?) They seem also to go for showa series first (with robot and base) No real info on the release date for this Neoxul |

Amiami is good only for new release and doesn't have anything left only a few month after a set is out (not to say is already out of stock a few days after it is released !) Quote:
