Aside from the minipla, which I still want to see pictures of, I wont be gettin much any of this. Im not as big of a train person as others and until I see the show, I wont care for the changer and such.

So now to start loadin up on Kyoryuger! :lol

While I am normaly not a train person myself I wanna buy something just to support Toei/Bandai in doing more non animal themed sentais :lol

I've said in the other thread, but I actually like the mecha a lot. It feels different, and while the results may not be as good as they could be, I give PLEX/Bandai props for trying a new transformation. While I liked Kyoryujin, it didn't look fun to me, but this guy looks like I could fiddle with him all day.

I think the main issues are two:

-As part of a strategy of appealing to train collectors, the individual train mecha are kept very realistic, mostly intact and free from robot parts. I admire this as the individual trains are all very nice looking, as are the auxiliary ones. I honestly have not seen Super Sentai mecha resemble real-world vehicles to such a degree in a very long time. However, this gave the toy designers less room to experiment with transformation.

-The rainbow motif. I think this is the biggest culprit: This clearly explains why the robo is a tall lanky thing that looks like a combination of stripes and colors. I applaud them for linking the story theme to the design, but like trying to make trains realistic, this greatly limits transformation options.

My only issue now is, where the heck does he store that sword? You better not make it a separate accessory a la ShinkenOh, that's such a turn-off! :lol

Maybe it'll turn into an actual rail road crossing contraption? Put it next to them in train mode.

Or just jam it up the Blue Ressha's caboose.

That...would actually be pretty nice. At least have it do something instead of lying around.

So I'm the only one that wants some Den-Liner in this?

No youre not. Im hopin someone will take these and the Den-Liner toys we got and make some Den-O mecha!

...I will grab the minipla, and get two sets- one to keep as normal and another to paint in the different Den-Liner car colors.

One thing, I heard that the mecha themselves are the collectible gimmick this year, and they are used in the henshin brace thing. While it sounds great, wouldn't the trains be massive on your arm?
