To be honest: I really do not like this news at all.
Since Shout! Factory only releases their DVD's on Region 1 (US and Canada only), I am unable to play them, as I live in the Netherlands(Region 2). Which is a really bummer, as this means I am still dependent on the fansubs to watch Sentai/tokusatsu, instead of being able to buy an official DVD set.

While I really do support legal Tokusatsu releases, I dislike the fact Europe gets shafted during almost every release. Another example of this is Ultraman streaming on Crunchyroll, which is unavailable at my side of the Atlantic, due to a region lock.

If these legal releases only happen in the US, fans from European and other non-US countries will have a real hard time to watch Tokusatsu, as most fansubbers stop working on their subbed versions after the announcement of an official release is made.
