Legacy Titanus Press Photo on TRU Server
 

Found Titanus press photo on Toys R Us image server. This photo was uploaded around the same time as the Super Mega Cannon. I've been informed on Twitter that TRU uses 2010 photos. We may be seeing a listing shortly. My guess is that there will be an announcement at SDCC to pre-order the item from TRU.

Look like they included rubber tires as well

Found more press photos on their server today.

Looks great. A lot better than the 2010 one, at least. But still not $200 great. To me the biggest factor is that you can still get an original Titanus for less than that.

Wow Very very cool.

Bricktanus!!!

Also if you figure in the price of the other Legacy zords we are looking at over $300 here, and while the other two are worth their price no amount of Die-cast is going to make this worth the $200 that is suggested

I wonder if they will reissue the Legacy Megazord with this? I was rather hopeful they would include some in the case with the dragonzord but I was wrong...

and TBH I just cant quite bite on the ebay prices when I have the original 2010 version of the mold.

Maybe the extra coin goes to a motor?

....ugh I don't think I'm going for him. The legacy zords already make a heavy shelf I think he might break the shelf. Also the 200 for him is a little out of my league for just one toy. Looks nice though.

I would like him but $200 is bit heavy. I was expecting him to be around $120

$200 is an insane price. I point out again that that it is $50 more than Hasbro's imports of Masterpiece Soundwave, which included Masterpiece Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw, $50 more than Hasbro's Masterpiece Optimus Prime and its even $100 more expensive then the 2 ft tall Generations Metroplex! Hell, its even more expensive then the SDCC version of Metroplex. All of these being much better toys that are also aimed at collectors.

The price is absolutely insane and a total waste of money no matter how you look at it. No amount of die-cast or rubber justifies it, really especially when its apparent that this $200 brick includes stickers over paint apps. BOA have seen the success of the Legacy line and are trying to see how far they can push collectors and I'm not going to support that. The Morphers and Megazord were fairly priced, Dragonzord was an OK price but this guy is just too much for too little.

Even then It is a show accurate, die cast, moving brick. We need to let Bandai know that this price is too much before it get released to the public before it flops and hurts Bandai and scares them of the legacy line even though they might have season 2 merch in the works

Meh. I was hoping to get a full set of the legacy megazord, dragonzord, and titanus. But this is too much. I get the size and plastic but unless this thing has electronics then no. Still hoping for that full set though.

Oh my God, those had better be rubber tires OR SO HELP ME...

So is this the Mix and Morph Titanus from 2010 ? if so yeah thats not worth $200 that thing was a turd mostly because of the Gimmick

No it's a new mold. But it's clearly still not worth the $200 price tag.

Maybe not for you, and I totally respect your opinion. But I want this guy so bad, so I say Damn The Expense!

Damn the expense for what? It's a rolling brick of what we only hope has a significant amount of diecast and rubber wheels. We don't even know for sure yet. As it is, based on what we've been given thus far it really just doesn't appear to be worth that price tag at all.

I agree, paying $200 for a brick, that will roll and hold a Megazord. Now of it was a legacy Tor, then cause Dairanger, I'd buy that.

Because I never had the original, and getting this one is close enough to that. So in my opinion, its worth every last penny.

Thats great that you're throwing any sense of logic to the wind on this one. You have your reasons, and I've done so before on things I thought were worth it. But I need to be convinced by an actual product on this one, not the idea or promise of it.

That price is nuts, even if it is for a 'veteran zord'. :P What Bandai should do with this though is make it so the inside can kind of shift around in the event they ever decided to do a Legacy Ninja and/or Shogun Megazord in the future. Yes, possibly too much planning ahead for something that might not ever happen, but better than releasing a re-tooled toy in the future for the same price and forcing collectors to have to buy a second version just to do Season 3 combinations.

...but you can get the original for less than this.

True, but you can't combine the original with the Legacy versions of the Dragonzord and Megazord because the chest piece won't work and really the Ultrazord is the main pull of Titanus.

I'm definitely skipping this because I think the price is ludicrous, but I don't hold it against anyone that does buy it. I bet a lot of people think some of my collector purchases are wastes of money/rip-offs but to me they're worthwhile and I don't regret them, so I can understand someone who is in the same position for Titanus. I just really do think that BOA are testing how far they can push Power Ranger collectors.

I think it looks nice. Not $200 nice, but still nice.
The problem is that I've never really wanted a Titanus for the figure itself. I was only ever interested for the Ultrazord combo. However, the Ultrazord isn't something I plan on using very often, as I prefer the Dragonzord as is.

My main confusion is over where the price comes from. Unless the chassis is solid metal, where does the additional hundred dollars come into play?

I think the huge success of the Legacy line has gotten to their heads really. The Morphers, Megazord and Dragonzord were all decently priced, but this guy at $200 and (to a lesser extent) the action figures at $18, to me, makes me think they're trying to see just how much collectors are willing to go for their dose of MMPR nostalgia.

No amount of die-cast, rubber or a motor (if it has one) would make this guy worth so much more then RRP of some of Hasbro's Collector-orientated offerings like $100 more then Generations Metroplex or $50-140 more then the Hasbro Transformer Masterpiece imports. It just comes of as insanely greedy. I would love to complete the Zyuranger mecha, but I'm not going to spend $200 on the glorified chariot for the final combo, I'm just going to be happy with the other two Legacy Mechs.

I just can't get over the stickers though. $200 and covered in stickers? Really hoping their just in the promo pics.

Well, actually...

Well actually, no.

That's the 2010 Mix & Morph Titanus, not the original figure. It's the figure the 2010 and by mold reuse the Legacy is meant to worth with, the Dragonzord however was designed years later. So it's more happenstance than anything. And the chest piece just sits there.

Oh I know that, I'm just pointing out that you can at less pull it off. Hopefully the Legacy Titanus has a bonus addition to secure those pesky over-weighted knees.

Agreed. They make each release more expensive, like they're trying to see how much people are willing to pay.

Which makes sense. Want to try out a Collector-oriented line AND make a good profit? Experiment with price on the most iconic stuff and then fine tune for later releases.

Slightly off-topic but related, how is the plastic on the Legacy releases? For example, does the Megazord use the same type of plastic as the 2010 MMPR version or is it better?

I'm just wondering if, having these price tags, the plastic is at least of Bandai of Japan quality.

I think its BOJ "level", but its hard to tell with the die-cast being in a lot of parts.

The plastic on the Legacy Megazord is nigh identical to that of the 2010. There's just additional diecast in place of some of it. I find it to be rather lightweight but tolerable.

Die-cast, plastic, metallic paint, rubber tires and electronics. Price confirmed at $199.99, with a release date on October 29th.
