Operation Overdrived

Overdrive Accelerate!!! Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, the fifteenth season of Power Rangers series.
It is based on the 2006 Japanese Super Sentai series, GoGo Sentai Boukenger. Power Rangers Operation Overdrive celebrates the anniversary of 15 years of Power Rangers, while Boukenger celebrated 30 years of Sentai in Japan. Here's a BOA (Bandai of America) Drive Max sets, I picked at OG a few weeks back with the price slashed, this is a real cheap deal.....sweet!!! Here we go....
The zords are vehicles called Drivemax zords.....

Bandai America released 3 sets total; Drive Max Megazord, Dual Drive Megazord (which came with a Black Dump driver) and Dual Drive Megazord 2 (which included Sonic Streaker). Yup its kinda sucky, to have a nice correct set, you have to get all 3 sets.
#1 Dump Driver zord Black version (Dual drive 1 version)

The Black Dump Driver has an additional attachment which makes nicer details for the Dump Driver Zord mode and Super Drive Max Megazord mode.

And now my 2 cents, its sucks how Bandai USA did it, I kinda dig the larger size but the head for the Super Drive is available in another set....You have to get extra of a few stuff just to get a HEAD!? oh bummer...damn RIP off.... No wonder its on sale at a quarter of the retail price.....I can give you 20 reasons to get the Japan Version, but theres only 1 reason to get this set and thats the dirt cheap price of cos!

Well, I guess I have really make my set good by getting another dual drive megazord, To Bandai USA, you guys really suck, as Im a collector and a working adult, paying for my toys is really not a bother but imagine the kids. How could any of you guys (Bandai America staff ) actually sleep at night knowing that you guys, con small kids with your crappy renditions of our fave heros.....

3 boxes of Megazord all retailing at fricking $119.90 SGD EACH(thats equalivent to $359.70 SGD), Thats minus Battlefleet aka Daivoyager at a whopping $179.90 SGD.... All I can say without the sale price, these megazords would have been stuck on the shelves for all eternity, besides the disappointments, this set can only be recommended if you're suffering from terminal boredom or intoxicated by alchohol....for the love of god and Sentai, Please go for the Japanese ones....
