The 2010 Megazord is the exact same thing as the new Legacy Megazord except for the chrome finish. It will also work with the new Dragonzord so if you don't mind the minor differences you might be able to find the 2010 version for cheaper. I'm sticking w/ my 2010 one. oh yeah? I'm pretty sure thats the one I have, thats good to know thanks, I figured it would work just wasn't sure |

Yeah Bandai said they'd work together. Very glad that's the case because I like my 2010 Megazord that I bought for $25. Adding chrome to it doesn't justify pricing the new Legacy Megazord at $60-70 IMO.

Bandai just announced they will not be offering the SDCC Legacy Morpher in stores, so if you didn't get one then you didn't get one.
They said they didn't expect the Legacy Morpher to sell out at SDCC. They also announce there would be another exclusive at NYCC.

Making the Gold Morpher an SDCC exclusive was total BS on Bandais part. Tommy's gold morpher has never been released in America before and it has been a sought after item by fans for years. Now if we want a legit on we have to pay scalper prices for one.
I also don't see why they don't simply release a retail version of the gold morpher for everyone. The SDCC exclusive would still be the rare one because it used legit 24k gold while a mass released one would simply be a repaint of the normal morpher. Bandai is loosing a ton of money by not making it a mass release. What they should have done is ship the gold morpher w/ the regular one. For each box have like 4 normal morphers and two gold morphers. Die hard fans would buy a few of each while casual fans would most likely buy one of each.

I just got my notification from spamS that the Green and Red Figuarts are in stock so others who ordered from there should be getting theirs as well!  |

When I went to SDCC literally everybody went after the Legacy Morphers and the people on eBay are complete scumbags only getting the morphers just to sell on eBay. Just by looking on eBay you can really separate the die hard fans and the non fans just looking to make money. I wasn't able to get a morpher at SDCC, because the line got capped in the first 5 minutes, so I had to buy one off eBay for $300. -.- Hopefully Bandai doesn't do another BS exclusive at NYCC that most fans can't get. |

I refuse to pay the ebay prices for the gold morpher, gonna take my chances and hope that Starlight Studio makes gold plates to put on the regular morpher and I can get my hands on a gold Green Ranger coin to go along with my gold White Tiger coin I already have

Going to Chicago Comic Con in 2.5 weeks so hoping to find the Red and Green figuarts there before getting em online (I enjoy hunting for figs more than simply buying them online).
I heard that during preview night of SDCC basically a ton of guys who actually had booths at the event scooped up most of the gold morphers and were selling em for more money at the event. For the rest of the event I heard it was basically scalpers and their friends grabbing as many as they could to throw up on ebay.
I think Bandai really screwed power rangers fans over w/ this. Like I said this was the first time the gold morpher was released in American and it was a much wanted item by most of the fandom. Instead of making it for mass release like the regular morpher they made it an SDCC exclusive w/ limited numbers. Most fans won't be able to sniff a legit one. Bandai then claimed they didn't expect the morphers to sell out and they won't make more for mass release. Total crap. I hate when people say we should be grateful for toy companies making older toys for collectors because they are in the business to sell something to us, not the other way around. Their mouths are fed because we buy the items we want. Bandai knew the gold morpher was wanted by literally every fan and pulled this. as for the rest of the legacy items I love em but this was a crap move. I can't wait to see the ridiculous prices scalpers will want for em at Chicago Comic Con.

I must say I'm happy that the Dragon Zord is coming out but I can see why people are pissed over the gold morpher. Personally I'd only want the coins to put with my others, but then again I don't think the coins with the gold morpher are weathered the same way. It'd be nice of they at least put out the weathered white and green coins in some fashion.

I figured I would show off my recent set up of Power Rangers, once I get the Gold Ranger and 2 pop on Zord armor sets. I will be moving on to Mega Force. I would like a normal Pink Ranger and I'm looking for one but If I don't get it I won't be upset considering I have every version of the suit represented expect the final forum (with coat) which I can still get in stores.

 Green Ranger         Red Ranger            Overall my impression on these figures is they are a work of art, just truly awesome and they bring me back 20 years, these are head and shoulders above any MMPR toy I had as a kid, so I can't help but say these are truly amazing. The details on the weapons are insane, the articulation is great (although the shoulder joints scare me, feel like im going to break it sometimes!) everything is spot on, and although expensive, I can't help but feel I made the right choice to start this collection. This show WAS my childhood, I was a huge TMNT & wrestling fan as a child but MMPR was everything to me back then, so having these incredible figures is like reliving my childhood, can not wait to get the rest of the figures, its going to cost a small fortune but in the end when I have all of the Rangers on my display shelf I will have felt it was worth it. |

Hoooooooooly crap on a cracker. Where did you get them and how much are they. I've seen them on Amazon but they are all like $40+. For a 6" figure it's a hard price point for me to pull the trigger on, but I want them soooooooooooooo bad.

Well at least Green used to be In Stock. Now it is back on pre-order status. I guess they sold out of their first batch. Red is still available. Sucks too because I was waiting til I get paid tomorrow to get both Red and Green Rangers from spamS. I can buy Red Ranger, but I want the Green Ranger more.

Wow, looks like ckhybrid took care of the pics and then some! I just opened up my Green and Red Rangers and they are worth every bit of the cost. The detail, accessories and what you can do with them is remarkable. In my opinion, I would say that these are the definitive PR figures to date. The whole set will look very cool although I would imagine it will be quite some time before that will be possible. From what it looks like Blue, Yellow and Black won't be out until sometime in 2014. Also, I could have sworn that I read somewhere that their weapons will all form together to make the Power Blaster. Even more awesome!

Even more awesome! wow! that would be incredible if thats true, and yeah its gonna be a while before the whole team is out but in the end it will be worth it, if they release them once a month like it seems theyre doing with White Ranger scheduled for October, Pink for November and the Armored Red for December, hopefully the rest will be out by March or April next year |
