While i'm a bit disappointed, its not a dealbreaker for me. The figure is still fantastic, except for the fact getting him to sit still on the stand is a pain. He likes to wobble and fall over.

Got these three at a sale at a Target:



With them, I complete all 12 of the main origami/Zords. Finally, the Gigazord/Samurai Ha-oh manifests!!!



You know I wasn't that huge a fan of the Power Rangers Samurai mecha, but having them all together simply blew my mind. Here's what I'm so impressed about:

1. The simple fact that they managed to engineer a new transformation to approximate a look of the on-screen character. This is not simply a downsized toy, it was a newly engineered one, and Bandai of America really outdid themselves with it.

2. Everything locks in so solidly! You wouldn't have guessed from the weaker plastic and the rubbery connectors that the BoA Megazords use, but everything fits together so well on the Gigazord. No, you can't expect to give it a heavy shake and not have anything fall apart (I haven't tried it yet, though), but it's stable enough to be carried around easily, which I was very, very surprised with.

3. Nothing is left out of the combination! Every part is used, which is quite an impressive feat. Maybe I'm just more used to the Gokaiger-style mecha (which is the only other line I invested a bit more in) but I had not expected all the little pieces to find somewhere to go. Even if they didn't, the nature of Zordbuilder allows you to find somewhere to put parts, anyway.

4. Ultimately, it's just oodles of fun. The transformation is very interesting and the toy, while not having the fancy motorized gimmicks of the original, still has nifty features like the manual rotating cannon. Each auxiliary has a little gimmick in place, and the base design already gives you tons of combinations to play with. What's more, with Zordbuilder, there are even more combinations to mess around with, your imagination is the limit!

I realized that I sometimes give BoA less credit than is due. It took me a few years, but I think the Samurai Gigazord set is really a fantastic piece of work, and I have no doubt that with a bigger budget (and higher price points) they could be some of the best mass produced robot toy designers out there.

See, while everyone's drooling over my stuff, I'm fawning over this. I still haven't gotten my hands on the last wave (Rhinox/Waspinator) and now wave 3 (?) is hitting... I just have the worst luck finding Transformers or seeing them in stock online.

I really wanted to like waspintor. Being that beast wars was what really got me into transformers, but for some reason I'm just not really impressed with him.
And I'm still waiting on rhinox to appear in the wild, he will be the first voyager I've bought in well over a year.

So jealous that you have Armada Starscream. From what I've seen of him in TFW2005 he looks good for what he is.

My Shadow The Hedgehog statue shipped, but First4Figures went all ThreeA on me and didn't provide any shipping information.

My FP Diesel arrived and my mate threw in a candy toy Durian lockseed as a birthday present. Im still not buying that belt!
