I was able to pick up the Galaxy Mega set, and I'm very impressed. I can't tell how much that's due to what the Super Minipla people did with it and how much is just the terrific base design. I only started on Sentai in the past seven years or so, so I'm not used to anything quite so sleek or ingenious as the Megaranger and Dairanger mecha. Galaxy Mega is shockingly cohesive, and its joined form with Delta Mega looks remarkably well-thought-out, with little touches like the thrusters from Delta Mega moving to cover up up Galaxy Mega's hands so the arms look like a reasonable booster pack.
Some of the joints are a little prone to slippage, but altogether, these two are a great package. |

Hello!
Long time fan of Sentai and PR, first time posting! I've recently gotten into some of the MiniPla kits, mostly Mugen Saga and some GaoGaiGar, and I absolutely love them! I'm thinking of getting into the Sentai MiniPla as well. I'm looking at the Muteki Shogun Super Mini-Pla and think that looks spectacular. Although, I've now discovered the Ryuusouger MiniPla and WOW! The only issue I'm having is availability and price. According to HLJ, the Three Knights set has been discontinued, and they had it for about £12 GBP. Only seems to be available for about £30 elsewhere :/ To me, advantages of Shogun are that it is a more complicated set and the nostalgia value. Advantages of Ryuusouger are that there will be more with lots of combining fun! (One last thing. HLJ seems to have the 3rd entry in the Ryuusouger stuff listed, but not the 2nd? Is the 2nd series of Ryuusouger kits not mech? Any help and info here would be greatly appreciated!) What are your thoughts? Any suggestions on kits at decent prices and where I could order them? I'm UK based Thanks in advance |

I'm UK-based too so hopefully can answer most of your questions
As far as prices go, your best places to go are Nippon Yasan (only for the Super Mini-Pla line though, they don't stock the mainline Super Sentai stuff), Amiami, Hobbylink Japan or Hobbysearch. Personally I stick to Nippon Yasan and Amiami for pretty much everything, but different strokes etc. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. One important distinction to make though is that Nippon Yasan mark their parcels down, while the others will (as they're legally obligated to) put the full price on the top. This is important for UK buyers because it means N-Y stuff evades the dreaded customs fees, whilst the other places are all at risk of being stung by them. I try to get everything from N-Y now simply because I can't afford the additional £15+ every time I order something. The Shogun Megazord set is EXCELLENT. One of the best model kits I own. Nicely articulated individual figures and a great combined mode. I'm on the fence about getting KishiRyuOh but other than that I'm dropping out of the mainline Super Sentai minipla so won't be able to offer a whole lot of thoughts on it, but it looks like a pretty solid kit. Of course being cheaper than the Super Minipla line means the plastic quality is cheaper (though not a lot in it, if anything its the Super Minipla line is overpriced) and the kit will be A LOT more reliant on stickers for detailing. Even though sites are listing KishiRyuOh as discontinued right now, it'll almost certainly be back in stock once it's released. Same thing always happens with them - they go out of stock after initial preorders and then come back in for a while around release. Not sure about set 02 not being there but 03 being there, but again I'd say just keep an eye out and they'll probably show up closer to release. If you have any other questions let me know!

Thank you so much for the reply! I have ordered sets 01 and 03 on AmiAmi and due to how cheap they are, under £15, I'm hoping I won't get stung with customs!
I think I am going to go for the Shogun set sometime next month perhaps, maybe sooner depending on price and availability I shall post some pics when I get my sets all built up Thanks again for your help! |

I've been hit a few times, but more expensive. Never ordered anything that low before really. Gotta say, very excited to get my hands on them it's worked out at just about £20 delivered so that's brilliant I don't know why. But the £28 on eBay seemed an awful.lot compared to £20.........
This thread has so many pics of amazing sets that I am a little gutted I haven't collected these for longer, but eBay prices are insane! What have been some of your most recent MiniPla purchases? Last edited by Gero; 04-01-2019 at 06:12 AM.. |

Older releases are of course quite hard to find, but I found some. Found them on yahoo auction using a middleman service and a few on mandarake. |

I love the Dekaranger designs! One of the mech series I would love to get! Only managed to handle a DX version for the first time quite recently thanks to a mate
Got any pics of your Dekaranger MiniPla? Any favourites from amongst the ones you own? |
