Diamond forwards those release dates months ahead of time. Trust me as a retailer who deals with them regularly, they are often very very wrong :(

I have one coming in for myself through them supposedly on that day so I'll update everyone when they do.

Does anyone know what the retail price on the dragonzord figure is going to be.

$79.99

This is a release that has been a long time coming but I think BoA somewhat dropped the ball. The Megazord mode using the Dragonzord as the central component looks off due to the legs. The new hand sculpts are okay. The tail has neat new sculpting but looks bland due to the colors.

In some ways I think the original release is better.

How come it's not based on the original 1993 version?

Uh... it is based on the original one, but it is show accurate.

That drill weapon is way too huge...

Yes but it's not the same toy as the original 1993 Dragonzord. Why?

Because the original toy is too big to go with the new Daizyujin. It also does not have sculpted details. Oh, and it lacks articulation.

The original MMPR toys are fun as a kid, but they are crap now as adult. Thank god for the legacy line.

Alright so I got my dragonzord today and I'm happy to say mine didn't have the fin issue. Cheezus crust this thing is heavy and beautiful. Very worth the 79.99 I paid for him. I actually say I like him better than the original. The show accurate paint/moulded parts are nice.

Just received my confirmation email from TRU.com. "Item(s) located in stock." So, looks like those of us in the US will be seeing it on store shelves sometime in June. Those of us who preordered, next week.
