With an anniversary coming up, I think they want to we what they can market. Add in the Legend War in SMF, and then you have to account for what Ranger/team ranks well after that airs. Depending on how Saban does it, this could be a boon or bomb for Sentai Figuarts initially. Who knows, maybe JDF could help bolster some love for other Rangers like he seems to do on his Facebook page. So I think, all this in conjunction with Akibaranger, may tell us what to expect from Bandai on the Sentai front.

Finally checked out the local Barnes & Noble and not a single Tamashii product in sight.

Guess I'm not one of the lucky ones. :/

EDIT: I take that back. Found SHF Mario and Gundam kits. But no toku items. *sigh*
