Saban has the licensing for basically anything from Zyu onwards

So they're removing the Jet Winger? That sucks. Maybe this will make the US version easier to get though, in case I later on decide I do want a Red Hawk to go with my Black Condor.

Edit: Some comments from Bluefin's FB page

And Re: Getting Red Hawk to TRU

I understand that, but that shouldn't stop Bluefin from being able to bring imports into the US. If Saban is cockblocking them, then I will stop support anything Power Rangers.

Copyright issues. The were able to get Jetman but can't get rights to Boukenger and Dekaranger. Most likely because those are licenses that Bandai America still holds. They worked out a special arrangement to get Shinken Red and Gold here in the US. But they couldn't do the same for these. And since they can't or won't get an Akibaranger agreement then anything to do with that show can't be released here. Like the Jet Winger.

Honestly it makes sense to me.

I'm also going to take the new packaging as a good sign for the future.

Why can't they do AkibaRanger? No one holds the license to it in the states? Sure, I already imported them, but still, it seems like Sentai is always getting gyped over here.

However, they never bothered to do the Gokaigers either, which no one had the license for at the time.

Nevertheless, that does not excuse Bluefin for not telling us this months ago. They could have just said, "The US release will not include the AkibaRanger weapon."

not a big deal to me honestly...

My OCD will never accept a toy I buy coming with an accessory I'd never use. (Seriously, I gots the OCD)

Glad I got the Japanese version, got it earlier than BlueFn and the Wing is awesome. Not that I don't appreciate what BlueFin is doing, but since I'm all in with Akibarangers, I need everything!! :D

I'm happy I got the Japanese version but I feel bad for those who got this thinking it would have the Jet Winger. At least Black Condor will be alright.
