It could be that them having to drop Titanus down to $109 before he finally sold out has something to do with the "break the wallets" comment.
However, that does seem to contradict the interview they had back at Toyfair where they said they want to do more big items like Tor, Serpenterra, and Pyramidas. |

Personal thought - a female villain toy in an action figure line meant for 5 to 7 year olds could be seen as a potential negative thing. Who wants to put out a female villain action figure for a 5 year old to have Power Rangers smash in to and beat up? Yes not a human but still - base line is boy hero girl villain boy hero beats up villain girl. Does that make sense? Just my own thought process as a marketer.
I'm not sure about Target, but at least around here, TRU seems to be the place to go. While Walmart is still stuck with just the first wave (round packaging), the TRU I went to last week had stuff from all three of the waves that I know have been released so-far.

I'd say Zeo has one of the better teams, but I tend to think that the series hit its height (in quality, not necessarily popularity) with In Space. I've also never been a huge fan of the Zeo Megazord. I get that they were going for mythical/ancient animals/structures, which is an awesome idea on paper, but I'm just not a huge fan of the design or implementation. The Super Zeo Megazord/OhBlocker has a much more Power Rangers/Sentai-ish design in my opinion, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of the series....the zords are merely mecha versions of the shapes that designate each ranger's rank. To me, Pyramidas is the one and only standout mech from the series. Just my two cents though; I know lots of people feel diff
But I do know that Zeo is insanely popular.

And people do nothing but hate BoA when they obviously put so much importance on their adult fanbase.....seemingly even more so than their target child audience.

Kids are easy (can they hold it, is it fun, and will it hold up to the beating they will give it?), whereas adults have higher expectations for anything they spend their money on for their collection. Different crowds garner different types of attention.

A Legacy Tor would be big and expensive no matter what, so making him all plastic to keep that price down some wouldn't be a bad idea. There's nothing to him that I think would need to be diecast anyways.

Honestly I don't think any of the Legacy toys need diecast.

Yeah, I could do without the die-cast too. It's nice when you feel it, but Dragonzord is a perfect example of die-cast gone wrong.
