Questioning Bandai's Bull Megazord release
 

It seams like the Bull Megazord out in most stores now. But is anyone having a hard time looking for the three smaller zords to make the Gigazord configuration? Especially the Octozord?

I don't know why Bandai have such a limited release on a major selling point to the larger mechas?

I've been able to find all the Zords in numerous places, EXCEPT the Octozord. Gotta wonder why I could find the Shark zord before the Octozord, but I'm used to crappy distribution....

Finally got Octo from Walmart.com....

Octo's supposed to be repacked with a helmetless Antonio sometime in April, according to BBTS.

Octo's been showing up at various ROSS stores all over the nation. $9.99

As for the other components, they're becoming more readily available. If nothing else, Wal-Mart and Amazon still have the Octo available for mail order.

bugger, I got it off Walmart.com (horrible I know) but he doesn't seem to be there anymore when I just checked. They do still have Tiger & Beetle though if you need those.

Two words - K-Mart

ive seen the Octo twice but I didnt want to spend TRU prices to get it. ive never once seen it in Target or Walmart. but then again ive barely seen ANY of the aux zords in any store besides TRU. they pop up in my local WM every once in awhile but usually its only 1 or 2 and they go pretty quickly. its part of the reason ive held off on the Bull

I did manage to get a Tiger from WM but it was a repackaged one

Surprisingly enough, I've had more luck finding the Octozord than the others. I've seen two Octos and a single Tiger, but nothing else.

Octozord is the only one left for me to find. Can't justify paying $40 on Amazon or ebay for it.

I still can't find the bullzord anywhere, it and the octozord are the only rare things around here

I see Bullzords almost every time I go out :lol Need me to pick you one up?

Behold! The elusive Octozord!

Now I can build the brick that is known as Gigazord......

Found at Ross I see, jolly good find!

It's starting to show up on TRU endcaps, and I saw a few over at Kmart.

main thing is for my area has literally not a single k-mart anywhere and toys r us is so far away, so i have to rely on target and wal-mart

i'm gonna give it a few more weeks before i try to get someone to pick me up a bullzord at least

Speak of the devil i finally found it today, so now i no longer need to hunt! i appreciate the help though guys :D

I just bought Octozord and Tigerzord off of amazon for less than 40 bucks for the pair. Now all I need is the Bullzord... my town of Cadillac has never been big on toy distribution, but I also blame me jumping on the bandwagon a little late.

yea here in the UK the OCTO Zord is the Black Sheep of the Aux Zord due to we never got the non clear verstion of the zords and i think AUx zord Clear versions are Europe exclusive

Why is a squid called Octozord?

every one benn thinking the same thing

Same reason an orca, a chicken and a German Shepherd in Engine Sentai Go-onger (Engine Birca, Toripter and Gunpherd) became a shark, a falcon and a wolf in RPM.

I think the change in the chicken is particularly egregious, and more than a little bit hilarious. :D

I believe Bandai thinks octopuses, sharks, falcons and wolves are cooler than squids, orcas, chickens and German Shepherds, respectively.

its like they saw the source material and though wait why would a chiken or rooster fly they cant let change it to a falcon. also the most stubid one is the Dino origami turning in to a shark with feet

I demand one written account of a child not buying a toy because it was a squid and not an octopus. The change with the engines is understandable(I wouldn't be surprised if half the kids who watch Power Rangers don't know what a German Shepard is), but the only thing BoA with the accomplished with the Octozord rename was making the Ika Origami design even more ridiculous. It's like BoA saw that BoJ gave a 6 legged animal only 5 legs and thought "lol that's not bad, but we can do you one better and give an 8 legged creature 5 legs!"

PS: You forgot to mention the Eagle and Crocodile zords from RPM, who were also different from Go-Onger.

But we did get the non-clear versions over here! I bought all three last year.

but i still saying its the black sheep due to the fact it has not been in any where that i looked in not even TRU UK as it on there Site or Amazon
