I think they also did the panels instead of this cause what would be the Major mecha they use if they did? Wait,they could've used the classic sentai's major mechas.....why didnt they do this?!

Wonder how that would work for Variblume and Sky Ace.

Why does everyone think the mecha costumes were only rebuilt for that scene? The Toei Museum has all of the mecha suits used on display. I can't find the pic, but I have seen a wall where all the suits are stored after each season. They definitely keep the suits.

I wouldn't say that. I mean, considering the rather specific line up of mechs, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that they maybe rebuilt Daizyujin and co.

Anyway, seeing GekiTouja without hearing "GEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKI" over and over again is just odd

Because those aren't suits dude. They were destroyed. The latex/rubber those old suits were made from seriously degraded over time, so most anything pre-Gaoranger is gone. The stuff at the museum is the models they used for each series. They're solid static pieces, not suits that move.

WildForce and the original megazord? Yes!

Not for me. That plays in my head whenever I see GekiTouja.

I can buy part of the suit being unusable, but not the entire thing. The mech suits are definitely not all rubber and latex. I can see them taking what was left and just making new rubber and latex components though. Cheap enough to restore at least part of the suit. Toei seems like the kind of company to keep all of the molds and stuff needed for the suits in the event they have to recast stuff.

Toei doesn't really care about old stuff once it's series is done. While I don't doubt they'd destroy the Ranger suits, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume they'd get rid of the mecha. They'd be taking up space and keeping them in decent condition, fixing tears and attempting to prevent decaying would just be too much hassle (They love trashing and modding monsters, after all).
While I'm sure the suits wouldn't degrade entirely, thing is, why would they keep a decaying and tearing Daizyujin suit laying around for almost two decades, never being used? They'd probably destroy it rather than use money to restore it and rarely ever use it.
