Seeing Film Gold finally pushed me to get the rest of the volumes I needed:

Holiday pay combined with a good amount of overtime gave me a nice check and since the bills are caught up I decided to splurge a bit and got the Legacy Thunderzord sets. Tigerzord is on his way for $115 and Megazord was $160.

The proportions are nice and what added articulation there is I can naturally appreciate. The chain on the sword looks great, being able to turn the head and wrists of the megazord, everything holds quite solid and the paint apps and molding are fantastic.

Aside from the Red Dragon Zord, the individual modes didn't get anything new which hurts the set a bit. I wish they all had mouths, at least. The helmet also doesn't plug too securely into the lion zord, though I could be missing something there. I know about the fold out peg but it just doesn't seem to snap in so the thing slips right out anyway.

I know the zord builder mechanics don't work perfectly (have to use white tiger zord, which is still in the mail) but the mere fact that it can combine at all with the old zords including Dragon zord is all kinds of awesome, plus having more show accurate versions of Dragon Zord and Thunder Megazord sanding side by side just looks great.

If only the original Legacy Dino Megazord looked as good.

So I got the Green Ranger from the 6inch legacy line finally, and yeah it's pretty dang awesome. Hands are a pain in the neck to change, but thankfully I won't be doing that often. Now I really want to track down the other figures.

Also bought Fred from the 6inch Halo line, and yeah he's all sorts of awesome too. Needs some paint work definitely, and I'll probably end up glueing the armor pieces down since I don't really care about swapping the armor. At least not on this one, since I won't be using him for customizing.

You got lucky. I had one and the fucking wrist broke on me while I was trying to change hands. IT FUCKING BROKE!! I was sooooo happy to finally get one. And then that happened. So I got my money back.

Actually one of the joints did pop apart, but thankfully the parts were still intact. Took a bit to get it fixed but thankfully it went back together okay.
Those wrists are friggin crazy flimsy though.

Tell me about it. XD

Well, I can finally stop stressing over this one at least.

Belated birthday gift from my brother in law. I lent him my copy of 4 that came with my PS4 since I never played 1-3, he ordered this for me from Amazon with a note that says "Happy birthday. You better play this."

New year, new slew of new titles I'm buying. Only appropriate, I guess.

Unfortunately Barnes & Noble only appears to get worse at shipping things. These came in two packages. The two volumes of Kiss Him, Not Me came in a flimsy yellow envelope instead of the boxes they usually use, so predictably my second volume's cover is creased as fuck. And the tracking they gave me for the other package never worked, and my attempts to get that fixed were fruitless. Thankfully it just showed up without issue, but that was still pretty concerning.

Anyway, yay, mangoes.
