On the DVD front, the remaining legacy set count was reduced to 30 today, and then went down to 25.

Thanks for the updates dude!

Damn! Flying like hotcakes! Congrats to those getting it for Christmas perhaps! And once again I'm so glad I bought one

Well there was this one TV special that aired in January 2005, although we were able to see it in a DVD that was released in December 2004.

And yeah, people just might be putting their holiday bonuses to good use. They might just sell them all out by the time the new year rolls around. I'll miss them being available though, even though I already own one.

This is a terrible discussion thread, just needed to point that out.

Anywho, started watching Kamen Rider Gaim, I'm 4 episodes in and not liking it but I remember being told it got better halfway through. Maybe I should've watched Kabuto.

The new Super Sentai suits look terrible, this makes three years in a row. Like the train suits they look low budget/parody suits. Normally suits grow on me but I doubt these will ever.

Nick apparently haven't renewed the show yet

There's basically no discussion here, just three regular posters who just post random news, sometimes relevant and sometimes not and because the three posters here are probably part of the PR fandom it's not even news to them. I like PRs and Tokusatsu and while I don't visit fandom forums anymore I'd like to discuss them but while I try to come here from time to time it's just so dry here. I almost feel like I'm talking to Public Relations people here.

Yeah, this isn't a Sentai/Tokusatsu thread but if this thread is dead do you really think there's interest in the drome for a Tokusatsu thread? I don't think so. At least I'm trying to add something more to talk about and discuss since there is a large overlap between PR and KR/SS fans.

So what is the speculation in the fandom about this? Is PR done after this or will Saban try to get someone else? I remember they squashed the Netflix rumors.

I think it's a good thing Nick didn't renew it, Nick was poison to Power Rangers. And I thought Samurai was ok. But MegaForce killed it. In general discussion on PR died after that I think. PR just doesn't work as a two season 20 episode per year show.

There's probably nothing to panic over. The team as far as we currently know have been developing the next series since mid-2015, the last we checked in on the matter, the head writer was asked about what he'd like to do, the Train sentai or the Ninja one, and he said he'd prefer the latter.

Eh, whatever.

Actually, when you click on "Buy Now", all you get now is a message saying it's no longer available. They've most likely gotten them all sold. It took a while, but they finally did it.

so apparently, next year Toei is having a project to commemorate the 45th and 40th anniversaries of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai

The first one is Super Hero Year: Kamen Rider Ichigo.



this is only chapter 1, so expect Gorenger sometime next year as well.

I'd really love for these shows to be added to Crunchy Roll some day

Since 2015 is coming to a close I thought I'd share Andre the Black Nerd's thoughts on the reboot cast since the casting news was very big for the fandom.

Blake Foster (Power Rangers: Turbo) retweeted this on Twitter, which was originally done by a user named Nick Rhodes. Look closely at what each piece of paper says.

Dacre Montgomery, who's playing Jason the Red Ranger in next year's film, got to meet Wolverine himself.

Such an honour to meet this legend. Wolverine vs Red Ranger? I have a feeling this beast would rip me to shreds.

Tell me what is that all about? I am quite curious. Those are 9 of the 15(16 with Trini) I saw during my viewership wanting to fight the TMNT. It makes me a pouting kid and hate the PRiS episode even more wanting to see Tommy, Jason, and the gang team with them. Any chance Boom! can do that with the comic or would the Nick/IDW juggernaut give it a big thumbs down?

Btw, MMPR#0, "Green Ranger: Year One" comes out January 13th.

I don't think the turtles could handle JDF's ego it might destroy them

Funny enough in the first of JDF's five MMA fights his opponent cane put to the cage wearing a Ninja Turtle costume.

What if he morphed into the Green Ranger, but activated a switch from his morpher on his belt and the White Ranger, Red Zeo, Red Turbo, and Black Dino Thunder Rangers appeared flanking him?

Edit: Mighty Morphin Star Wars! Check out what what have made an excellent film.
