Now that we are getting the fully transformable and fully articulate Daizyujin by Bandai Japan's SOC line if successful, despite the high cost, could this directly conflict with Bandai America's Legacy line? We have already advanced to the Kakuranger mechs here, if Banda Japan does the same it will be in direct competition with its own company. And honestly, in my opinion, I really see no reason to have both a Legacy and SOC DaiRen'Oh. Would it be unwise to follow the same direction as the Legacy line? Should Bandai Japan go backwards and release Jet Icarus next?

No, the SOC line has been around since 97, it's Bandai's premier toy line, just because it has one overlapping release doesn't mean it's going to all the sudden become soul of super sentai. Including Daizyujin, theres only ever been two super sentai release out of 70 something. SOCs have pretty much always been the definitive version of a toy, it's kind of insulting to compare it to overpriced legacy items.

I fail to see how the Legacy items are anymore over priced than the SOC items. Sure, the SOC items look great, and I want Voltron and Daizyujin, but honestly, $300 is overpriced. They should be $200 at most.

And SOC earns its die-cast. Legacy can, and should drop it. Or at least most of it. |

because socs have tons of accessories,and comp are fully articulated with near perfect transformation, and complex engineering in toys? The SOC GGG and Gunbuster pretty much set the benchmark for how good a high end toy is, a legacy zord might be nice but it's never going to become a landmark release. Daiyzujin is like 27k on hlj, which is roughly 230 dollars. Last I checked though, SOCs werent going for 60% off on amazon.

Yeah, I think thinking we're gonna get anything more than Daizyujin is jumping the gun right now. There certainly won't be SOC Sentai releases every year.

I could kinda see them releasing Dragon Caesar at least (and maybe, maybe King Brachion). They released Goldymarg and StealthGao II after all.
