That is what I did with the SDCC stuff, I saved my money.

But that isnt coiunting for people that go to school, even college, but I am still in high school so its worse, plus if you work and pay for most of your stuff. When your parents wont pay for your toy purchaases and you also have to pay for your gas, plus savings.

So my point? Full team sets are NOT affordable for everyone. Even if you save, if they make one release a month, that means they could make one a month, thats more expensive than it is now. Thats not counting if you buy Kamen Rider and other stuff with it. I couldnt do that even all I bought was Sentai SHFs.

So no. They do not need to start full team sets.

My 2 cents: I make a de@ent amount of money in my work and even though I could afford full team sets decently easy I would HATE if they did them. Thats just waaaaay too much with other lines I collect. I also know it would make it nearly impossible for my fellow collectors and I dont want that.



Anywho. Does anyone know how I can tell if I am getting the akibaranger peice when buying Bouken red or SPD Red? I keep checking ebay but they dont say. Also does anyone know any sites with Bouken or SPD Reds at a good price with their AKIBA peice

If its from Mandarake, Amiami or Hobby Entertainment Jungle, it'll have the Akibaranger pieces.

It's from an American seller, its more of a risk.

Hobby Entertainment Jungle currently has Red Hawk and DekaRed with Akiba pieces for less then $20 each.

The Akiba pieces are packed into the boxes, they aren't first run bonuses or anything like that. The BOJ release always includes them with those figures.

On the topic of full teams, while I would welcome it to complete them faster, even I could see where it's too much money. I always prefer multi packs over single releases but full 5 or 6 team packs would run pretty high.

I don't make a decent enough amount of money, so buying a full team isn't an option for me.
Though Geki could be released as a full team and I'd still buy it, because I'm not missing that opportunity.

Gekiranger needs to be made regardless, but the only ones Id buy are Red, Yellow, and Violet. Mainly Violet if any. But tge way they are goin now, Id say release is Red as retail. Blue and Yellow two pack. Then Violet and Chopper two pack. Which is sad because I dont care much for Dominic but I can deal to complete the team.

I'm picky about what I can and can't afford right now as it is.

And yes, I'm well aware of the "you could always buy it off Mandarake at a later date" route, but who's to say entire teams aren't going to just go up in price?

For me personally, there is absolutely no way entire team sets is a better alternative to two-packs.

EDIT: Oh, and Bluefin isn't a viable option for me either by the way.

I'm not thinking a team a month. I'm thinking do a full team quarterly and release the currently airing teams individually.

For example - Q1 of 2015 is AbaRanger, Q2 is GekiRanger, Q3 is KakuRanger and Q4 is Changeman.

They could also just have them be timed full set releases. Do a full box set first, then release them individually a couple of months later. So when the Geki box set comes out, they start releasing the AbaRangers individually.

It's just that their current methods are not working out so well when it comes to team based series like Sentai. Kamen Rider works fine, but I'd rather have an entire ranger team together in one package.

In fact, I hope Bandai will at least test this with the B-Fighter teams. Do both teams as 3 packs and see how they work out.

This I would not mind. At all. And then if Rio and Mele aren't a 2 pack, I will be sad.

And you could just invent an overseas crossover with Gekiranger and JF. RJ paired with Ken.

Yeah....no. That's still a whole lot of money at once. All of my impulse buy power would disappear. Plus I'd be stuck with a crap ton of figures I don't want. I don't think they would sell well for this reason. Not everyone is going to buy all 200+ Sentai figures once they're all made.

That is probably going to be how they get released.

Who is Dominic?

3 packs honestly seems like the more reasonable option than 5 packs. Even released quarterly, not all collectors can afford a 5pack at once. You really gotta remember those who do collect vary. Individually, 2packs, 3packs seem more consumer friendly and will allow Bandai to make more money than releasing things in one go.
