Oooh, I want these!

How is Megabloks "bullshit" again? They're quality of their toys over the past few years have increased quite a bit, if that's what you're referring to.

Oh, that's adorable!
It's a shame that they don't get their unique weapons instead of a set of Blade Blasters.
I do hope this is a sign of things to come. After Kre-O getting back into building toys, I'd love for a MegaBloks set of the Dino Megazord. Hell, they could actually release a Dragonzord, too :lol

These are nice, but where are my Ninja Storm Rangers? You know, the ones that aren't essentially LEGO Minifigs?

How the blue fucking hell is Megabloks bullshit? Have you seen their Halo stuff? Megabloks ahs come a long, long way since their days of "KLnock-Off Lego" to the point where a lot of their Halo stuff feels higher quality and better value than most of their licensed brands. Hell, their minifigs alone are amazing little action figures that are fully posable and sculpted, not to mention how solid and accurate the vehicles are compared to Lego's habit of "we need to make a big vehicle that's not a flat spaceship, let's make the ENTIRE INSIDE hollow and undetailed."

Megabloks is far from bullshit. Now $65 for a headhunter model or $120 for the Sith Fury that's half the size and weight of the Halo Phantom? That's bullshit. Hell, Megabloks sells troop packs at $13 that includes four fully sculpted, painted and posable figures with unique weapons while Lego charges $15 for maybe four primitive, tampo'd minifigs with some cheaply designed vehicle and those old blaster sthey've been using for years. (not even comparring the fact that Megabloks minifigs have tons of different body pieces to replicate the armour customization of the games, while Lego maybe makes a new clone helmet once in a blue moon or a new alien that they stick in ONE expensive set)

I think this set is really cool. I still wish that their PR minifigs used the Halo style build, but whatever, this is cute and well-done. I'd love to see them do, y'know, OTHER series besides MMPR though. I hope with the success of these transitional figures we'll actually see them adopt that posbable, sculpted body. Imagine nearly-fully articulated, teeny little rangers with sculpted helmets, suits and unique weapons? I really wish we were there now.

No kidding. It's crazy how much they've improved while Lego, at best, stagnates, at worst regresses like with their Batman sets.

Minor nitpick, but why is Red off to the side instead of in the middle? Just seems like an odd choice to put Black in the middle instead of Red.

Because they know Zack was the coolest Ranger :p

It's just a case that Lego knows they'll sell. Even if one set fails, they have the licenses to a wealth of popular brands, so if one random Iron Man Lego set fails, they have a Star Wars set on the horizon that'll make back the money.

Lego doesn't have to try. They have the brand recognition and licenses.

When I picked up an Optimus Prime Kreon, it blew my mind that they had a waist and ball jointed arms and legs. Makes them far more lively. It's a shame Lego keeps their dull Legoman design. Megabloks and Kre-O have spoiled me in terms of minifigs.

Hells yeah.

I wish White Ranger was in there, too.

It would have been cool if the Green Ranger's chest shield would have been it's own seperate piece and not painted on, but that's a minor nit-pick. I'm guessing this set would normally be around $20 but but because it's a TRU exclusive it'll be closer to $25-$30.

That would be pretty cool, but that would require a Saba weapon, since he never used the Blade Blaster as the White Ranger.
