I like Akibaranger

I like the WhiteRanger

Buuuuut I'm just not sure if it's worth going the more expensive Japanese made to order route with this one. Just for one tiny chest piece that I probably won't even use all that often

Like wise, I'm not a super huge fan of MMPR white as I am with Green to pay extra..I'll probably be sticking with 1 myself.

Not to be picky, but..

Dammit, Bandai, quit making my wallet cry!

[Matrixbeast]

Oh boy. You mean to tell me I can spend more money for a minute piece? Awesome!
*Shrugs*

Man I want this.

But nowhere around me carries Bluefin releases.

I also don't give a toss about some gaudy chestpiece. I'm not sure what the significance is but it really doesn't match the aesthetic of the suit.

See, this annoys me because "could care less" is still wrong in the US. It's not how Americans say it, it's how Americans who don't know any better say it. They're the same people who say "for all intensive purposes" and write out "wah-la" instead of "voila."

I've seen this idea that British people think all Americans say it incorrectly a couple of times in the past couple of weeks. It's not true.

I'll gladly take a complete Japanese release over a neutered US one any day



I just have no interest in buying a figure that doesn't come with everything it's intended to for the same price. Regardless of how often or not I use said accessory it's still supposed to be there. I love Bluefin and what they do, I understand why they can't import items specific to Akibaranger, I get why they'd need to remove something like that from this release, but that doesn't change my feelings about this. If there's ever something that's supposed to come with the figure that the US release excludes then the JP release will trump it every time for me.

Incidentally I'd also planned on buying 2 Kibarangers anyway. One with the Akiba chest piece, one with the normal. Just like I ordered 2 Ryu Rangers to display in both configurations.

I can live without the A Kibaranger chest piece. While it was it was amusing, it wasn't as great at the Chinaman/China Red gag because that's a mythology gag. Heck, my justitifcation on getting the Ryuuranger Figuart is that he'll be China Red in my collection(untill I see Dairanger that is)

Well my guess is that like we've seen in the news recently, Saban is a bunch of assholes. Since Bluefin has to go through them to be able to bring them over. Gotta love them international licsensing issues.
