Gosei, I broke it. (Legendary Morpher problem)
 

So, apparently my pirating days are over.

Last night, while I was turning a key in the Legendary Morpher and it started making weird noises which seem to be the -shing- noise you get whenever you turn it on or "transform" and it seems to just get faster and faster to a point.

When I have a key out of it, the sounds work perfectly but when a key is even "idle" in it, the button sounds on the morpher sound distorted. Has the happened to anyone else and if so, does anyone know how I might fix it short of buying another one? (Though, even if I have to buy a new one, it gives me a good excuse to buy the one with four full teams. So silver lining, I guess.)

I suspect a QC issue, that or you left it next to a magnet.

I don't have a magnet in my bedroom, so it's apparently the former.

Mine had that problem a little while ago. I just changed the batteries and it works fine now.

Might be that the batteries are running low. Going by my experience with electronic toys, whenever sounds get distorted in anyway it's due not having enough juice to power them.

It's haunted :P

I knew that would happen when I practiced the dark arts around Bandai products...

Yeah, thankfully it seems to just be battery issues. I'm going to be getting new ones tomorrow.
