*looks at all Pink and all Silver mech combos* Gimme Green or GTFO. That. Is. All.

Kyuren-oh is even more genius then I thought it was. Now there are people by the exact same toy 4 times.

That's super expensive.

Ah, but then you can do all 4 at the same time. HAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!!!

so many kyurenoh's if you did that

but kyurenoh is great i like just swapping limbs around. it;s a nice toy to just fiddle with

Whoa. Did I miss these were coming out? Kyutama cockpits! AmiAmi already closed preorders. I'm so behind on everything for Kyuranger. :(

Those were mentioned back with the original scans I think. I remember them at least. I love Megazords, or anything really, with cockpits and pilot figures.

Because I am evil I hope that instead of green it will be your least favorite mech/color combo. Enjoy!~<3

Hlj still has their preorder open. I don't think they're very popular; I never saw an order stop on them.

Thanks!

Ah, I really need to pay more attention to things. I haven't really been gung-ho on Sentai product releases of late and I think I got into a lazy mindset. Now I'm paying for it by missing preorders everywhere.

I very much hope they release those Jark Matter flags through PB.

Has anyone had any shipping issues regarding The DX Kyu Weapon?
HLJ says apparently its too large to be sent by anything other than EMS Parcel which i know will result in UK customs slapping a charge on it
I was just wondering if anyone had a similar problem or if someone could tell me how large the box actually is?
Also is the Kyutama kyulette worth it or an easy pass?

I ordered my Kyu the Weapon from CS Toys using Airmail and didn't run into any problems. How big is the box? I'm not sure how to measure it. Its a little less wide then the 12 inch shoe box that I used for a size comparison.

Thanks alot :) the size of the box was the reason for it needing to go EMS, so i just wanted to make sure it wasn't unusually big

Just saw the new Kyuranger episode today and even more curious to know if anyone is taking a chance on the Kyulette

I finally got my Seiza Blaster! Fortunately, I seem to be one of the few people who can fit there hand in the handle. Lucky me! I also picked up the Kajiki Yellow Vinyl figure. By the way, how have you guys been storing your Kyutama? I've been thinking about collecting them and I need a place to store them until the inevitable Kyutama storage container comes out.

On a side note, because I have no plans to get the insanely awesome Kyurenoh, I also got the candy toy version of the Kajiki Kyutama. Its not a bad recolor but it really stands out when compared to my two DX Kyutama. I guess I just have to get used to it, especially since I don't plan on getting DX versions of any of the transformation Kyutama besides the Shishi Red that came with the blaster.

I bought a little gift box to store them in
Its big enough to hold the two DX sets and the 9 main ones so I'll have to figure out a better solution if I get any more Kyutama but it's a good fix for now :)
How tall is the vinyl figure by the way? And what's the quality like
I was thinking to get Pink and silver
How small is the handle for the blaster?

For overall storage if you need to save space, I usually one of those small storage stands that has 4 or 5 drawers in them
Mine is filled up with all my drivers and morphers which is why I got the gift box

Cool container. I might get one depending on whether or not I feel like waiting it out for the Kyutama container that may or may not come.

The Kajiki Yellow Vinyl is a little under 7 inches and... its fine. I didn't really have a specific size in mind when I bought it, this is my first time buying a vinyl, but, comparing it to the Ultraman Orb Origin Vinyl that I bought at the same time, its a bit bigger then I would have like and a bit stiffer, the waist only barely moves, but its otherwise fine for the price.

The Orb Vinyl also feels better in my hands though I can't explain why exactly. I'd recommend just getting your favorites and seeing how they turned out before buying the others. Kajiki's visor is only barely pointed and unless I'm seeing it wrong, which is very possible, its black in the show, not violet-ish like it is in toy form. I'm worried about how Blue turned out...

I'll check the handle size for the Blaster a bit later. I have it put away at the moment.

Are you planning on getting all the Kyutama eventually or just the main 9 and then the two incoming extra rangers?

I'm still not sure yet. There's a good chance that there are going to be 88 of these thing. I plan on at least getting Kyutama Set 1 and 2 though. I'll probably also be picking up a Sasori Orange Kyutama one of these days.

On a side note, how does everyone feel about the Kyutama campaigns? Apparently, starting at March 18, buying DX items next you the Pegasus Kyutama.

On one of shukuenshinobi's reviews someone did the math that the blaster could only use 63 Kyutama so if there are going to be 88 I'm guessing some will have to include their own sounds like the gashats do or will only work in the other henshin device that's coming

I've heard that too. I've also seen a pin combination list showing how to get all that sounds from the blaster.

Its hard to get an exact measurement for the Blaster handle but I measured it at between 3 and 4 inches. I measured the ENTIRE handle, including the little bit that you don't actually hold on to.

We already know of several KyuTama coming out in later Gashapon sets that do not have sounds in the Seiza Blaster (and, it goes without saying, we know all the KyuTama that do have sounds in the blaster). There are several sounds in the blaster that are just a "KyuTama" sound with different lights. Presumably, these extra ones will trigger those.

I love the Seiza Blaster. Oh the joy I felt when I found out that I was actually able to wear it around my wrist. Between this, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, and Ultraman Zeed, things are not looking good for my wallet. If I do decide to collect all the Kyutama, I'll probably draw the line at the Seiza Blaster and maybe the belt as far as DX Items go. The bulk of my attention will probably be on the collectible, sense I prefer DX, and the Vinyl Figures.

Sorry for the double post but I think this is important information. From what I heard, neither CSToys nor HLJ will be doing the Pegasus Kyutama promotion. Its going to be extremely difficult to acquire one. Things aren't looking good for Ohguma Kyutama...

I had emailed HLJ to ask them about the Pegasus but they hadn't responded yet
Sounds like you already got an answer for us though :(

Darn. I had my cockpit order in with HLJ and was hoping they'd be in on this.

That's just what I heard from other people who sent emails. My question is why the hell is Bandai releasing it this way? Its would be one thing if this were a special repaint of an existing Kyutama but this is a power up. What do they gain out of releasing it like this?

It might be they want it to be mainly available for Japanese customers and/or help brick and mortar stores :/ Im likely wrong but it's all I can come up with
Hmm I agree if true it seems odd to release it this way

Hopefully we'll at least get a candy toy version of Pegasus.

I don't think that promos get candy or gashapons do they?
I'm thinking back to some other promo stuff I had and I don't think I've seen them reappear in a new release

Ya, I think you're right. I've pretty much given up on the idea of collecting all of the Kyutama anyway. I'll just keep collecting them until they're too much of a headache. I just bought the first 2 Kyutama sets so I'll collect at least that many.

I got an email back from AmiAmi last night. They aren't in on the Pegasus campaign either, not that they had most of the eligible items in stock anyway.

So thats AmiAmi, CS, and HLJ all apparently not having anything to do with the promo
Is this normal?
Unless its a specific brick and mortar promotion like when they release stuff for Cinema goers i can't see the sense behind it
Unless it will be a last minute thing where the stores will announce it a day or two before the start

AmiAmi, from what I've read, doesn't usually participate in these promotions so it was a longshot. I haven't done business with CSToys since they screwed up the Sid Lock Seed promotion so I couldn't say. I'm pretty sure HLJ did the Rainbow Ressha, but that's the last one I seem to recall.

I'm guessing it is just probably too much trouble for them to deal with. HLJ had issues with the Kamen Rider Stage promotion, too, as I recall. It looks like Mandarake, Jungle, or YJA are going to be about the only way to get these.

Sorta related: Is there an issue with the Chameleon one? I saw some people complaining on Twitter but I didn't get the full story.

HLJ did both the Ex Aid Eyecon promotion and the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat so I'm guessing that further proves your theory about it being too much hassle
Sorry if this is a dumb question but what are Jungle and YJA?

Did they? I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info!

Jungle Toys Japan (http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/) and Yahoo Japan Auctions. You need a proxy to buy from YJA, though.

What happened with the Sid Lock Seed promotion? I wasn't in the fandom at that point in time.

You had to buy two sets (the DX Durian & Donguri and the DX Kurumi & Matsubokkuri, as I recall) from the same retailer in order to get the Sid Lock Seed. They require payment up front for their preorders which is totally understandable. But, when the time came for the second set to release it turns out they had put a credit card on file with Bandai that had insufficient funds available. So all of their orders for those were cancelled. They were honest and owned up to it and gave everyone a refund and, purportedly, a credit with the store. I never actually received mine (the credit, I got the refund).

It was pretty inconvenient and it ended up costing a lot more money to get the set and the bonus item. It just seemed like a rookie mistake for a company that had been around for so long and it was even more a kick in the teeth considering they already had everyone's money for the things. For me, it was the last straw. Four of the five orders I'd placed with them had been messed up in some way so I decided to cut my losses and pick a new retailer.

Granted, there is no perfect store and everyone has horror stories about some place or another. Plenty of people have never had an issue with them, it was just too much for me. I didn't feel like taking any more chances.

I see. They're my main store, at least at this moment, so that's interesting to hear.

Not Chamaleon, but the Tokage (lizard) KyuTama is going to be a lucky draw item. One of those find the winning ticket in your candy things, it seems.

Still not as bad as Mizugane...
