    Still lots of them at stores in Canada but I don't think they are shipping more.

    The series' first 8 episodes were great, and then it went down hill into being nothing but boringness. There were some good things throughout the show, but very little of it felt important until episode 44. The characters were uninteresting, the commander and his two cohorts served no point, and the Buddyroids were beyond annoying.

    The first episode of Super Megaforce is up on Nick's site for viewing. My thoughts:

    Did we really need there to be an artificial limit on the "Ultra Powers?"

    What is up with all of the pointless exposition? I did not need to hear "I think I figured out how to form the Legendary Megazord."

    The entire episode was paced completely wrong. The beginning just felt inconsistent. There was no explanation or anything as to why Ernie and the school are damaged. When were they attacked? How much time passed between episodes? Why did Vrak run away?

    Not to mention they crammed two episodes worth of footage into one just for the sake of doing so. There was no plot or even breathing room, it was just one long big action sequence.

    The voice acting for the villains is terrible. If there is one thing that was always great in PR, it was the villain voices. Here, the actors sound bored more than anything else.

    Is that old dude the ONLY teacher in the entire school?

    The footage for GokaiGreen does NOT fit the personality of Jake.

    The changing into past teams is boring without the great voice over to state which team they are turning into.

    Overall, the episode was pretty lackluster, even for a first episode. I know next to nothing about anything that is going on as there was no time given to let any semblance of a plot come through. Did Michael Bay direct this episode?

    Oh, and I cannot comment on the opening theme because Nick decided to put the commercial break in the middle of it and then skip the remainder of it when it came back, so I have no idea what the song actually is.

    Speak for your self. Especial towards the end of its run (40-51) the show was amazing. One of the darkest stories we have gotten in some time. A least watch the last 20 then reconsider. I for one am going to miss seeing go-busters Pr adaptation. The RPM sequel practically writes itself. I have to wait 2 years now. It will be worth the wait though.

    Well I will agree that episodes 43-51 were good, but everything before was pretty much pointless. That still does not make the series good though as that is a quarter of the show that was good. And I'm not going to give the series a second viewing because I absolutely HATE Yoko and the Buddyroids. Plus why should I rewatch a show I found to be subpar at best when I have series I loved from the moment I watched them and haven't done so since 2007 I can rewatch?

    Go-Busters was bad, but it also followed up Gokaiger, which made it seem even worse.

    Allow me to post that I thoroughly disagree and enjoyed the series greatly from beginning to end.

    This is just a random thought but maybe they want to do dinocharge right away cause its more inline with mmpr and its still close to the anniversary. either that or they want to have the animal sentai after the dino sentai so they can say they're evolving for super dinocharge =p

    They dont have to follow the japanese storyline. What they do with the costumes and such might be more popular overseas.

    Those look like candy toys. They're small, assembly-required kits.

    Yep. Specifical;ly called Minipla. Usually it takes 4-5 boxes to complete one mecha. The top one is Power Animal Set (Gao Dias?) and the bottom one is Gaoking (Gao Shark). Its kinda funny how they used pics of the DX toys on the package of the Power Animals set. Rather misleading.
