If we're going 40$ a Figuart it would still cost the same as the Shinkenger set.

Perhaps a little more because I think Pink and Yellow were slightly above normal retail.

I meant as opposed to buying them piecemeal. And where are you finding Blue and Red at $40?

I'm going by what they originally retailed for not the insane mark ups.

Unfortunately, some of us sort of missed that train by a good margin.

It costing around as much for the Shinkenger set would be acceptable in that regard.

The price of the Shinkenger set is still acceptable though. At 200, they're pretty much around 45$ a Figuarts. Much more reasonable then some of the prices Yellow and Pink tend to go for.

You misunderstand; I'm not saying it isn't, and in fact agree wholeheartedly that it's a good deal, one that I'd be all over it if I had the money. Especially considering I find my appreciation for the suit designs is growing by the day.

I've already sunk about a quarter of that cost into obtaining a Gokai Blue with Darin. I'd love to complete the set at only $200 or so.

I would totally be on board if they did a metallic Gokaigher/Super Megaforce SDCC release. I got the Shinkenger set on sale for $150 including with free shipping around Christmas and love it. And I would totally spend full price on a Gokaiger set.

I also gave into temptation and preordered Gaim and Baron on cdjapan breaking my no Kamen Rider figurarts rule...but I couldn't resist the shiny first edition bonuses XP And I want to collect a figure of each rider from Gaim and this seems like the best option.

Got my Gouraiger set today. I love how it turns out that it's still the Japanese release versions, just that they slapped a sticker on the front of the box with the 'Ninja Storm' moniker. You can even see the original Japanese stuff behind the sticker.

With the next 2-pack coming out this month in Japan, it's a shame they haven't revealed the final member of the team, Sky Ninja Shurikenger. Either do both versions of him separate (or a two-pack), or have his vest be removable and come with two alternate heads.

I'd say they'll probably do Shurikenger with alternate vests. And an extra head. I can't believe he still hasn't been announced yet.

Does Tamashii normally do a set-up for the New York or Nuremburg Toy Fairs?
