Sentai Fans =/= Akibaranger Fans. Just because there is a market for one doesn't mean there is a market for the other and vice versa.

The argument made - the figure is being released for let's say $35 and it comes with an additional chest piece in the Japanese release.
But the US version that's coming out is missing that chest piece and costs $41. So you're paying $6 more for something that's not coming with everything the Japanese piece had. I don't think it has anything to do with Akibaranger, TOEI, Sentai vs Power Rangers, or anything of the sort. It's basic math - with the Japan release, I get more for less. What's the big stink about it, and why does it have to spread out from the forum to social media no less?

See, I'm in the other camp, I want Akibaranger-related merchandises, not just Sentai-related merchandise, so whether it costs more or less, that's my objective, obtain the version most relevant to my interest. I think that's what most people in this thread is doing, posting their preference. I want BlueFin to succeed, especially when I have Amazon Prime, but if they are not carrying an item that's relevant to my interest, they are not going to get my business.

The extra costs from the U.S. versions come from license and royalty fees from companies not present in Japan that own power rangers licenses...won't name any of them, but obviously you can tell the fees are fairly high.
