The Dragon Zord for Shinken Oh is also more accurate to the show instead of the long brick that the Samurai version is. Shinken Oh also has gold chrome bits where the Samurai has gold paint. Shinken Oh is a bit "chunkier" than Samurai but I actually prefer the Samurai Megazord's slimer proportions. Overall it comes down to preference and willingness/ability to part with money. If I had the money I'd always buy the Japanese versions. I actually prefer to buy the minipla/candy versions as they are A) fun to build B) transform pretty much like the DX mecha C) have WAY more articulation and D) are typically WAY cheaper than the DX mecha.

Ah, I do recall the new Dino Megazord being less quality than the original release, which was imported... The American version sounds like the cheaper alternative that I'd like to stick with for now. But I'll give some thought to the minipla/candy version you mentioned though!

Thanks for that bit of info.
