Id love to but not for 200.

$200 is a big jump and while I do want this megaZord and will most likely buy it, I do wonder why the substantial jump in cost occurred. Inflation? Labor? Who knows. BoA isn't the only domestic manufacturer that increased the cost of their toys this year.

I think the Megazord was cheap because it was a mold they already had. All they did was add some diecast and re-released the same toy with more accurate paint and stickers. Having to build this one from scratch may have raised the value some.

Also, Red Dragon zord (if it has the same style of neck as the Titanus neck) is substantially more intricate than Tyrannosaurus was/is.

But until official pics are out, this is all speculation.

I'd say "overuse of metal."

"We know you'll buy this shit because it is MMPR and so we can and will put you over the barrel of a gun."

cheesus crust what if the whole thing is just a giant piece of metal with metallic ratchets and balljoints

Exactly. Blame rising costs all you want, blame the extreme over-use of metal, but a large chunk of that price is knowing most of you lunatics will pay it. Cause you're crazy.

I know I'm crazy, but it is Dairen-Oh. And a show accurate one at that.
