I think Super Sentai could have done as well as Kamen Rider, I just think that Bandai messed up with release schedules for them that not many collectors can trust it when it comes to releasing full teams. Like how many times now have they released a few members then just nothing else afterwards, then they start releasing important characters via premium stores and then it's just like "fuck it, can't be bothered anymore"

Least with Kamen Rider you get all the main heroes at least via normal retailers.(Aside from Shin.) and their anime releases don't mess about either even when they're premium releases. Don't they open up polls for Pretty Cure stuff from time to time?

Also in other news, my Amiami order finally got the figmas taken out so it's on mah wayyyy, I'm looking forward to paying customs in like three weeks. Can't wait to get my hands on Drive and the star wars guys.

How is Wizard Flame Dragon compared to newer releases? I kinda want a Wizard rep for my display but the original Wizard Flame Style appears to be god awful.

Flame Dragon is a big step up over Flame Style in my opinion. No blet popping out and the pegs on putting him together does not break into pieces.

I know it isn't the favorable opinion, but I really think Bandai should just TRY doing full team box set for an unreleased team I mentioned before. Just test it out, if it doesn't work, then they don't have to do it again.

I don't care if some of you don't like the idea, but I'd rather they at least tried and failed then stayed in the safe zone.

They could save time and just flush money down the toilet. It would probably amount to the same thing. Considering the track record of Sentai Figuarts, there is no way to justify that kind of gamble. They generally play it safe because that's what keeps them in business.

Besides, while it would be cool to see a whole team in one package, it would be extremely expensive. I know most of us have jobs, but even with them it would be a hard pill to swallow to purchase a (probably) $500 set.

If people aren't buying that many Sentai Figuarts now then that fact alone is what discourages them from doing a whole boxed team. Only one I know of is the Super Samurai one with the metallic Super Samurai Red & regular Green, Blue, Yellow & Pink.

This. They'd have to half-ass it Hasbro-style to make it even remotely affordable for the average collector and even still, Sentai figuarts just aren't successful and they just have to accept that for the time being.

And then comes the problem of what is considered the full team. The core five or the core five and the sixth? And what happens with the teams that have quite a few members? Not to mention those that only collect one color or only want one or two members are kinda being scraped over hot coals over the deal.

The only way I'd even flirt with getting one is if it was at least the core five and I love all of them down the line, a lot of hands, and virtually every accessory you can think of, which for some teams means a lot of work (for example having to include 25 different Kiba Fangs for the Gingaman since there are five variations that all five members can use, but each Fang is color coded so yeah...).

It's just too much of a gamble to even attempt. The perfect time they could have done to even try it is with Sun Vulcan since it's a small team. And with it being from the Showa era there shouldn't be a whole lot of accessories they'd need (I haven't seen Sun Vulcan, so don't take my word for it).

Anyone got their SHF Drive from AmiAmi yet? My mom send me a text that a package show up on the door this morning when I was in class. I'm not home until 6 PM (lab hours from 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM for me), it should be worth the wait.
