I think they went for 2010 since it's compatible with the zord-builder system, and being that this is the 20th anniversary, diecast to them probably seemed like a nice touch.

If this wasn't the 20th anniversary I think they would've just done a straight reissue in a new box.

Also looking at it from another perspective, I think it works. Most of my friends don't follow sentai stuff like I do, but grew up on Power Rangers. When I told them that the dino Megazord was coming in diecast, they were impressed and surprised. So for current sentai collectors, maybe it doesn't seem like much and sounds overpriced, but for adults who haven't seen ranger stuff since childhood, it's impressive.
