Okay, is there any word on when Ankydon will get released? Because I'm probably going to pick up the Stego and Tricera charger packs tomorrow.

I found the Ptera Megazord in Cedar Park Texas. So far I am pleased with it. I plan to take so photos and do a full review soon

Would anyone know if they're (BoA) they planning to release an AnkyloZord? I wonder how they are plabning to add the Ammonite zord in the series. :/

They will release one next year for Dino Super Charge when the ranger also get toys.

Toys R Us has had 2 Charged Up Power Sets listed for a week or two now, but no real pictures. Does anyone know what these really look like?

I'm mainly just curious if the Dino Chargers are normal-looking or repaints.

And I ended up answering my own question as the local TRU had them in stock today.

So for everyone else, the Dino Chargers are grey with plain stickers (non-shiny) but they supposedly glow in the dark like the Kyoryuger ones. I dunno if that is on all sides or just the one. All the Dinos are molded in new colors, though.

BoA is making it really hard to get a single, uniform set of Chargers. The very first releases features non-shiny stickers on the inside, the later series 1 guys have shiny stickers (my Triceratops does, too. It must have been from a running change) but there are QC issues with the stickers not being well applied and peeling up already, all the series 2 guys are actually obtainable but are in all new colors on the outside, and now these sets are plain stickers that glow in the dark. Sheesh

Doesn't help that the series 1 grey Chargers that match the show are so hard to find outside of the initial assortment. I was lucky that I found the 2nd set of 5 and don't think I'll ever find the final 5...

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Charges that come with Zords feature non-shiny stickers.. when they're not also clear on the outside for the Megazords

If you're looking for Series 1 chargers past #1-5, it's worth trying Amazon. I was able to find most of the Series 1 charger packs that I was missing (gray chargers w/foil stickers and the "fossil" variants packed in)--though shipping might take a while, I ordered them a week and a half ago and they just shipped yesterday.

Between that and the Pteranodon (#6) set I found in Walmart over the weekend, all I'm missing from Series 1 are the Pachycephalosaur (#8) and Archelon (#21) sets...and nobody seems to have those, not even on eBay.

Pteranodon is part of "Series 2" apparently. The majority of Series 2 consists of repaints with off-the-wall chargers in strange colors. The chargers also feature new "animations" instead of the usual charge and fossil designs. In each set you get a charger of the included zord doing a attack, and then you also get a random charger of a zord "hatching" out of a egg. Oddly none of these use holographic stickers.

Pteranodon is the oddball of the wave, being the only one that matches the styling of wave 3 and 4. Supposedly Pteranodon, Pachycephalosaur, and Archelon were set to be part of Series 1. But for some reason they are being released in Series 2 sparringly. My only guess is that Bandai noticed the issues with the metallic stickers and are biding time until they fix the issue.

Is that how they're doing it? That would explain why I've hardly seen any of those last 3 Series "1" packs, since my area's only just getting Series 2 now. And it makes sense in that they weren't ever listed in the initial Series 1 checklists, those just showed #1-5, 11-20, and 22. (#6, 8, and 21 are still marked as "series 1" on the packaging and the newer checklists, for what it's worth...thus my confusion.)

In any case, thanks for the tip. Now I know to actually dig through any Series 2 chargers I find rather than just assuming they won't be there.

One thing to be on the look out for at TRU is special sales. This past weekend they had two Charger sets for $10.00. You could get ones from any set like that.

For anyone who is looking for new Dino Charge stuff, it looks like Walmart.com got the ammonite and pachy zord back in stock and Toysrus.com has the GRAPHITE AND GOLD RANGER. I ordered all of them, haha. I'm stoked because I haven't seen anything new in my area whatsoever besides one pteracharge zord that I picked up from a Walmart.

I am digging the upcoming (and likely have been released somewhere) villain figures and hope more come out, but I am also hesitant to act upon any of them (aside from Fury and the Vivix which I have) because I don't know whether an all-villain six pack will ever be released. We have the numbers for it, but would they really do anything of the sort? Would they include a Ranger or two to make it marketable? Many such packs come with an exclusive weapon accessory, but would anything of the sort qualify here? The only one I want to immediately pounce on is the little Vivizord as it really wouldn't matter if you got two of those (because of army-building and the like).


P.S.: An exclusive Poisandra or a color-accurate Sledge would make an all-villain six pack justifiable.

Question! Do the Dino Charge Morphed and saber combine like in the show?

Yep.

Toys R Us's website now acknowledges that the Pachy and Ammonite Zords exist, so hopefully this was a case of slow distribution and soon these guys will be more commonly found in the wild
Pachy Zord
Ammonite Zord

Also I finally cracked open the 27 Dino Charger set from TRU and posted my findings & opinions in this thread.

Yes! I will be ordering these so I can get all DC Zords and the Ammonite...

Well, anyone who knows me knows why I have a hankering for it.

I just found Aqua, Purple, and Super Charge T Rex Red ranger at Target! Now I just need to find the Dino Steel figures and Snide...

anyone seen the Ammonite/ Pachy zords in original colors in the KY tri-state area?

Finally found this guy! I'm stoked to have the zord line finished.

He's gonna need some serious work in the paint department when I find one.

Yeah, some extra paint would have made this guy SSOOO much better. If I had a steadier hand with a brush I would go for it but ehh, oh well!

Titano Charge MegaZord is listed on Amazon for $34.99. Just ordered mine. Glad I was able to snatch one up!

Titano Charge Megazord came in and I really like it. Haven't had a chance to paint it up yet (all the other zords have some custom paint apps), but I did make a small mod. By folding up a tiny piece of paper a few times and wedging it under the little flip down canon, it's held up even when the charger is in the mouth of the staff. Might not be 100% accurate that way, but I like that more than having one charger just sitting out on its own when every other one is in its respective zord.

I agree with you on the charger. That's probably my biggest gripe with the whole thing. I could have done without the cannon and just had a place to hide the charger. Oh well. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you paint it.

Finally got a Titano myself. I like how big he is when he folds out into dino mode. Just a shame he wasn't a tad larger to accommodate the chargers instead of smaller, molded bits. I would have preferred that to trying to shoehorn him into the current retail model and packing him with a repaint wave mate.

Makes me wonder what they'll do for Lion-Haoh next year. They'll probably shrink him down to the $35 mark and have a molded-on, unpainted Shurikenjin on his back.

I wondered the same thing the minute I got mine in, because Lion Haoh is ENORMOUS. I can't imagine how they compact that down to a $35 toy.

They might be willing to mix things up a little bit with the movie coming out. Didn't they say that the movie Megazord toy was going to be bigger than anything we've gotten so far since they switched to their own molds? That could be used as the establishment of a new price point that Lion-Haoh could fit into along with future final zords. And anyways, the Shuriken gimmick wouldn't work if they shrunk it down that much.

If they HAVE to shrink Lion Ha-oh down too extensively, then it might make sense to let it combine with a miniature "Ninja Steel Megazord" (Shurikenjin) figure.

P.S.: "Ninja Steel Megazord" only theoretical and based on established Dino Charge naming scheme.

So, what are the chances of us getting a premium final combo box set for Dino Super Charge? I kind of want to get the Dino Charge megazord as a stand in for Kyoryuzin but it really bothers me that the sword isn't painted (I'd like to have the shield too but I can live without it). I just don't want to buy everyone separately for the final combo for them to put out a set with everyone together along with better paint aps.

So are the Super Drive figures just incredibly hard to find or am I just an idiot?

They were on Amazon momentarily, but yeah they were hard to find. I never found the silver ranger in stores.
