US Release Shinken-Oh Available For Pre-Order At Toys R Us

ToyRUs.com have begun taking preorders for the US release of Shinken-Oh, the base mecha from the Super Sentai series Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Though this robot was released in the Power Rangers Samurai toy line as the Samurai Megazord, the Bandai of America release was a less-detailed, scaled down version that omitted the emblem/origami modes for the five components. This new version is expected to be identical to the original Japanese release.

Currently priced at $79.99, it estimated for release in May 2013. Check out pics in all three modes and discuss this release after the jump!

Thanks to TokuNation.com member Uppercaseccc for sharing!

So Shinken-oh is up for preorder for 79.99. I'm gonna give him a past he is just to much for what I'm willing to pay for a 4 year old toy when it comes out still if you want him here is what you could expect for price. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...uctId=17880096

I think $80 is a good deal, especially considering that it'll just raise in price every year.

I'm potentially willing to pay $80 for this, funds at the time permitting.

If it comes to the UK for £80 though? No chance

Did we ever find out if it was going to be in Japanese or US packaging?

Maybe I'm a miser, but 80 dollars seams awfuly steep for what will be a reissue of a 4 year old toy.

I'll probably be in original US packaging, given it's different name the last time we saw it.

Considering the after marking is asking for $100+, unless you can find a deal on Mandarake (With a really good shipping deal, considering the size and weight of the thing), $80 sounds reasonable.

Its going to the Japanese packaging. This is the description from the page:

There's a pic of it from an event floating around somewhere too.

Zeo if you import from the US it end up cheaper for us any way
