The Story
A Secret Organization called Sargess is a group that collects hidden treasures that have suddenly begun to dissappear all over the world. Treasures such as relics from early civilations, sunken ships, unexplored regions, and fossils of animals long gone.
A "Treasure" called Precious has been found, a treasure with a great and dangerous power. Sargess discovered this Precious and organized a secret team to defend. They are the GouGou Sentai Boukenger, their adventure starts now.

The Villains
At the time of writing, at least two separate villain groups have been confirmed. There may be more later.
The ones we know about are the Gordom Civilisation and the Jaryu Tribe.
From Gordom:
大神官ガジャ (Daijinkan Gajya) - Great God Official Gajya. He is most probably the leader of Gordom Civilisation.
He's played by Ootaka Hiroo 大高洋夫. 47 this year, born in Niigata on 27/6/1959. Previous works include: Kodomo Hoshii na (1990) and Tahoiya (1993)
(Thanks Shoichi)
"Large God Gordom" (Kyo Kami Gordoomu). Possibly the first MotD.
Combatant Kaasu (Sentouin Kaasu). Footsoldiers. (Thanks Merlin)
The Jaryu Tribe
"Creation King Dragon Won" (Souzou Ou Ryu Won). Probably the head of the Jaryu Clan but maybe just an MotD.
"Great Jaryuu Doldo" (Dai Jaryu Dorudo). Probably an MotD affiliated to the Jaryu.
Members of the Jaryu Tribe. These may be footsoldiers or generals.
The Mechs
Main
The 'megazord' is called the 'DaiBouken' (Great Adventure). Its weapons are the 'Gou Picker' and the 'Gou Scooper'. The two weapons can combine to form the 'GouGou Sword'.
The mech itself consists of the five 'GouGou Vehicles', which also combine to form the 'GouGou Trailer'.
Red: GouGou Dump
Black: GouGou Formula
Blue: GouGou Gyro
Yellow: GouGou Dozer
Pink: GouGou Marine Diver

Auxillary
These are AbaRanger style auxillary mechs. They attach to the DaiBouken as arms to allow for different finishers.
They are:
Gougou Drill
Gougou Shovel
Gougou Mixer
Gougou Crane
The Weapons
All of the Boukengers wield guns known as Survibusters , which can be changed into sword weapons known as Surviblades. They also have Scope Shots, which can fire grappling hooks, magnets, or bolts of energy. The Scope Shot can combine with the Survibuster to form the Survibuster Sniper Mode.
The individual weapons are as follows:
Red: Bouken Bo
Black: Radial Hammer
Blue: Blow Knuckle
Yellow: Bucket Scoopers
Pink: Hydro Shooter
And the moment it is not clear whether or not the unique weapons combine.

The official website
http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/bouken/ (credit to Urutora of HJ for the heads up) is now up. There's not much info on it yet, but it does talk of some kind of event at the Tokyo Dome in early February. A
Babelfish translation tells me that there will be a press conference featuring the actors, a stage show likely featuring all 30 reds and a performance of the theme tune.

If anyone wants me to add anything to this post, just let me know. I'm going to try and keep this post updated right up until the series actually starts.
