That's actually the second episode to air, although the fourth one in chronology (the chronologically first two episodes didn't air until much later last year). So Deker wasn't there. In fact, he debuts in the chronological seventh episode, and Rick Medina first appears in the opening credits of the chronological tenth episode as Deker.

Ah. Why wouldn't they show the first two episodes chronologically?

I think that was Nickelodeon's decision. To put us in the middle of the action, or something. I just hope they don't do that with Megaforce.

Trailer for the MMPR complete set

[Storm Eagle]

Someone managed to get the MMPR complete series set at Comic-Con, and took pictures. You get to see what the box looks like (it's shiny), the discs, a main menu, and pictures of the booklet.

EDIT: I had to take the pictures down. The guy who snagged a copy of the box set made a video, put it up on YouTube, and Shout! Factory made him take it down. Those shots I posted were screen caps someone else made of the video and then posted at a PR forum, and even he has been ordered to take those down. The aforementioned guy promises to put the video back up when the time is right though, and I'll post it for everyone's viewing pleasure when that time comes (provided I beat ZariusTwo to the punch ^_ ^ ).

Cool nice video and awesome photos! I've been looking around to see if I can buy this even though I'm not at the SDCC. It may be tough I don't know.

Good luck though. I have a feeling that I'll be pleased when the box set arrives at my door.

For the record, TimeLife will also be offering a complete season 1 set of MMPR soon. It's a whole case of six DVDs, and not the individual cases of season 1: volumes 1 and 2 packaged together.

man definitely getting this.

the joys of childhood because this was originally japanese with japanese actors. Then recut and redubbed into english to make power rangers for us. ..

Then it was so good, they redubbed the english version into japanese, that says something about how good it was.

It's not quite as straight forward as that. PR is famous more for going AGAINST the Japanese footage, often coming up with it's own original plotlines.

It turns out you don't have to be at SDCC to get just the MMPR set, and you don't have to order it from TimeLife bundled with the seasons 4-7 set either. In fact, you can get the MMPR set from Shout! Factory's site.

http://www.shoutfactorystore.com/pro...0391EEEFA26CA0

Also, these are the special features that will specifically be on the MMPR set, as mentioned here.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Mig...l-Reveal/17218

So I guess that leaves this list of special features for the seasons 4-7 set:
1. Tales of the Giant Banana: A Look Back at Bulk & Skull
2. A Convention With Attitude: Power Morphicon
3. The Lost Episode
4. Power Playback: Power Rangers Funniest Moments
5. It's Comin' ZEO Serial
6. Gold Lining ZEO Promo
7. Tanya's Stick Together Music Video

is power ranger better or young justice better?

[ZariusTwo]

Power Rangers Megaforce will be a hybrid series after all. 2013's twenty episodes will be all Goseiger, the next twenty will utilize Gokaiger in 2014

[Darth Knuckles]

Alright! Thanks a lot to all of you that has helped keep everything up to date on the Shout Factory! release. On eBay the people there are selling the SDCC version (while having a slightly different box cover) for $300! I don't think so.

So now they are cutting down 50 episode series to 22 episodes each? WTF? You would think Saban would want to milk Gokaiger for all it's worth.

[ZariusTwo]

Saban just don't want to trail behind Sentai just to make Nick happy, as it's their ropey 20-ep scheduling that's to blame for the two years we've spent on Samurai.

Yeah exactly. TimeLife is charging $219.95 for that and the seasons 4-7 set altogether. I'll just do that. Screw those eBay con artists.

Where did you get 50 episodes from?

Hopefully they won't have to do that after 2014 since in 2015, they'll have an opportunity to run the next PR series on their new block.

From SuperSenta.com. Goseiger is 50 episodes long Gokaiger is 51. I predict each Super Megaforce episode, will be a tribute to a different power rangers series.
