It seems future releases may be in jeopardy/under review since Bandai can't decide between including weapons or including "Build A Figure" parts.
How about this- Just include the weapons with the figures & release the Megazords as SEPARATE figures! I think that would be a great sales angle... |

God damn what a ripoff. So if you want the decent looking figures to have their weapons, you still have to buy two sets, because I notice there's no metallic Green or White rangers. So you still need the original releases to have a consistent team. It would've been so simple to just include the weapons with the White Ranger since he doesn't have a zord part or a personalized weapon. (Saba takes the place of his sidearm so he still only has one accessory) Quote:

I honestly don't see the Legacy line making it beyond Zeo.
BTW, did they at least address the wrong colored belts? |

This line has been a shitshow, and it didn't need to be. The figures are good. Probably the best PR figs BOA has ever made. But they screwed this line up with the accessories. And I hate to say it, but I agree that the line is probably gonna end after the next wave or so. Nobody wants to be jerked around, and nobody's going to collect the normal releases if they think Bandai will just come out with better ones that should've been released first later on. Hell, I know I won't buy the Zeo figures if I know they can come with accessories but haven't. I forsee a lot of "metallic" rangers being returned to stores sans weapons. And I hate to say it, but I won't actually blame anyone who does that. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 02-18-2017 at 02:23 PM.. |

Wait, so instead of doing an exchange program for the white belts, you have to buy new figures to get them? Come to think of it, how can you even change the belts on the figures?

This literally solves nothing. I'd rather have to buy the weapons direct from Bandai than buy anotehr, shitey-r set of rangers. |

It seems this line is crashing and burning a lot harder than I would've thought.
Did they seriously not have the foresight to think that most people would want the rangers' main weapon over stuff like the ranger stick... They're not gonna drop the build a figure since it's what Marvel and DC's figures are doing, but I don't think anyone would be losing sleep if their generic guns aren't included.

I'm gonna hold out before ranting about this weapons mess and wait until the show is over. Who knows, Bandai might actually have some real news about the weapons for those who already own the first two legacy waves.
Look either way, it ain't over yet. There's still more to come, like where are the spoiled Legacy Dino Thunder figures at the booth? |

This... is incredibly stupid, but considering I planned on buying duplicates for customs anyways, this sort of works out for me?
But god damn this is a stupid marketing strategy. |
