Japanese.

You can buy it at Japanese online retailers like AmiAmi or HobbyLinkJapan and import it yourself or use local retailers that offer collectibles. Like BBTS and sorts.

The site is in Japanese, not Chinese. Some sites have opened up pre-orders early this morning (and have sold out). Look for other sites to open up pre-orders soon.

Well looks like Bandai is dipping back into the easy money well. This makes it, to my count, the 3rd re-release. Was happy I didn't buy from scalpers the first time but this thing does sell out fast. It's a great even with a few minor issues, don't get me wrong, but some improvements or added accessories would be nice.

Hope they re-re the Megazord too.

Thanks, hoping to lock in an pre-order somewhere soon. Had it in my cart on Ami Ami, but was sold out trying to check out.

Hasbro owns that license now. Doubtful the Megazord will get a rerelease.

I don’t care that it’s a 3rd release. I get to add a grail to my collection at great price. It’s a happy day!

It might come again, but you would probably have to get it in Japan. No US reserved releases. I would and still hope to get that mini-pla version. By the time I realized I actually wanted one it was sold out in retail.

I'm sure you dont care, especially if you didnt get it before. Just stings some of us who did considering the now lowered price. Regardless, it is definitely grail piece for many, myself included, and happy you and others will be getting it.

It's technically a Super Sentei license, though, so it can probably still happen.

Hopefully this at least pops up at another retailer, I missed the boat on the Japanese preorders.

It would be kick-ass to get kits in the same quality as those high end Gundams.

Do you have confirmation of this or just a guess?

[Tokyomeltdown]

It's a beautiful toy, but can't justify another one.

[ghostbogey]

Great Toy...Voltron is so sweet..
Nice Toy re-issue for those that missed out for sure..
This one will sellout too. Trust me =^)

No confirmation and its a pretty solid guess. As someone said in an earlier post it technically still runs as a Sentai license from Japan so Bandai can re-release in Asia, a bit harder to find in US retailers (and comes with a bit of a mark up).
My "guess" is pretty solid because:
1) the Soul of Chogokin Megazord sold decently, they did release it twice and had a black (silver and green) limited repaint also.
2) The Sentai/Ranger, especially MMPR, fanbase is pretty strong so there's a demand.
3) Bandai has started to become a bit more stale and profit "greedy" (quite alot of re-releasing in the recent 3 or so years). They are milking the Dragon Ball fans out to the end, getting every last bit of Marvel Avengers and Star Wars figures too. They have re-released a few Sentai/Rangers also.
