I'm assuming you have never, ever handled any of the Gokaiger mech before. Mine has zero problems and I have every one. Even then, you don't need to have the pop up gimmick, even just having the hinges open and plugging the pieces in would be a vast improvement.

But they don't, that's the problem. With Samurai, they did for the most part, with Megaforce, they did, but here they don't. The "opening" gimmick is an extremely noticeable visual part of Gokaioh in all of his modes. If all of the parts aren't opening, automatically or otherwise, it isn't functioning like the show at all.
Even younger kids will notice that in the show he opens everywhere, I know I'd be incredibly bothered by it.

No, people don't need to pay import costs if they don't want to, but BOA should put the effort into making the toys resemble what's in their show, even if some paint apps and gimmicks are nixed. In fact, you could say that's waht makes it unfair, BOA are giving a vastly inferior product to the exact same aged target audiences.

Hell, in Australia, BOA products even have pretty much the exact same retail price (or more) as the BOJ's product's retail price.
