Sure Tsubasamaru's original special gimmick function was the light up wingtip guns that were cut from the American Falconzord, but that was still a toy that cost, like, $25 back in the day. For what the Legacy Bird does, it's like spending $39.99 for a lone dowel.

Didn't bandai announce at toy fair (or something) that the price point would be $80 for the ninja megazord? Maybe $100 is just amazons pre order price. Also, are you guys finding the falconzord in stores for $60? Because online it's $65, and it's the same in all the stores near me...

TRU went ahead and started selling it at $80. Bandai said they'd talk to TRU about it. After a few weeks it dropped to $60 and then went up to $65 pretty shortly after that. And yes, the Ninja Megazord was announced at $80. Amazon doesn't normally charge more for pre-orders. Other retailers have had it at $109. I'm kind of wondering if internally they decided the Falconzord + Ninja Megazord should have a combined MSRP of $160. When fans got mad that the Falconzord was $80, they just "moved" $20 bucks over to the Megazord. Actually typig that out makes me realize how unlikely that sounds and they're just charging more because they can. Heck, maybe the LTMZ sold well enough at $200 they knew they could up the price (and maybe quality) of the Ninja Megazord a bit. |

Those are some good points. Hopefully the price will come down. They gotta realize that the price is high considering how long some of this stuff sits on the shelf, and how quickly they go once the price drops. Sure, some of them fly off the shelf when they're new, but once supply starts to meet demand they tend to sit.
