I like it. I just hope we still get a robo knigt that turns into a header

We do. Look at Grandion.

Has there been any news on the release date of the DX Shinken-oh in the states? I'm thinking I heard Thanksgiving/Christmas release somewhere, but I may be crazy.

Yeah....I'm going to be honest, other than Gosei Knight (the Ranger that doesn't look like the others, right?)....I don't really understand any of that...at all.

To simplify things for me, will the black lion zord be worth buying on it's own? Does it do anything interesting without needing to buy any of the other zords? I like the look of it, I just don't want to buy something that'll be worthless without buying two or three other things too...

The Big Black Lion combines with the Red Lion and Blue Lion to form a giant Lion Megazord. And the Head of the Black Lion can form it's own Ranger. And given how much I love Gosei Knight I'm going to say yes xD It's worth buying on it's own!

I know, you're all shocked.

you also need to remember that this is Zord builder we dont even now if they lept the gradion header change to gosei night in the boa verstion

So far, besides revealing it, there has been absolutely nothing stated about a release date for it

We probably won't see it until 2013

They did, you can see it in the picture.

No you can't. Although I imagine it can still transform, its not exactly complex.

I am down for the Armored Might Rangers. Yes I actually like them.
