When did you start collecting mecha/megazord toys? Which mecha was your first? Do you still own it?

Mine was the Legacy Dinomegazord.

My first Zord was the separate release of Red Dragon Thunderzord. I never got the Assault Team, just Red Ranger and White Ranger's Thunderzords.

First COMPLETE Megazord was the Shogun Megazord and I got Falconzord to go with it.

I don't really "collect".

Shinken-Oh, united under providence! And yes, I still have the gorgeous piece of plastic! :D

Mine was the Samurai Star Chopper from ninja storm and to this day its my only megazord.

I'm proud to say my very first Megazord was the one and only, 1993 MMPR Megazord! :D But I don't have it anymore. :(

My first modern Megazord is the 2010 Dino Megazord.

Yeah, I believe my first "zord" was at/c Tigerzord. But my first TRUE Megazord was the Original Megazord. Had various ones on seasons I liked over time, but now I'm left with Thundersaurus, Delta Squad, and the recent Super Megaforce Megazord. Working on others.

Edit: Forgot to add the Wildforce, Isis & Titan Megazords.

I think mine was Super Zeo and no it and most of my PR stuff was sold a long time ago.

My first was the Dragonzord. I still have him displayed and he will never leave my side. The first I bought for myself was Kyoryuzin and that reignited my passion and started me down the path of collecting for teams I like. Outside of the Thunderzords, Kyoryuger is my only complete team so far.

I had the Kongazord when I was around 4 or 5, and that was my only Megazord until I got the Gosei Great Megazord a while back and that got me back into Megazord collecting :lol

The American version or the Japanese version?

My first ever was the original '93 Megazord and Dragonzord, followed by Titanus. All bought within a few months of each other.

My most recent one bought was Lightspeed Rescue and Astro Megazord...

My first mecha was the Samurai Megazord. I started watching Power Rangers with my boyfriend when we first got together four years ago. He was a massive Power Rangers fan and made me watch it with him and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. We soon saw MMPR through to Mystic Force before we bought the Samurai DVDs. I've always been a big toy collector so I was interested in trying the Power Ranger toys out and got the Samurai line because that's what was available. It was a huge downgrade from my Transformers, but I still enjoyed it, blissfully unaware of BOJ.

Once we discovered Sentai my first BOJ mecha was Gokaioh. My partner bought me Gokaioh, a Mobirates (My first morpher), Gaolion and Magidragon for my birthday, because Gokaiger was my favourite PR/SS series. Since then we now own nearly every main mecha (plus a lot of auxiliaries and secondary mecha and nearly every main morpher) from Megaranger through to ToQger. We take it in turns to buy our next mecha/morpher/Figuarts to steadily grow our PR/SS collection. Our latest purchase was a MIB Gingaioh and a MISB Zyuranger Thunder Slinger that I've hidden away for part of his birthday present next week for his MMPR display.

I had Power Rangers megazords since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my megazords were lost when we moved to South Carolina. Luckily, a friend has bestowed upon me the bulk of his collection, and it's as if I've had them all along.

I love friends. ~<3

I was slightly too old for Power Rangers when I was growing up, but a younger neighbor had the MMPR Megazords, Thunder Megazords, and Zeo Megazord. I've always been into transforming robots, so I enjoyed how large they were and that they combined.

2010-ish while collecting some other retro series, I picked up the original MMPR Megazord, Dragonzord, Thunder Megazord, and Tigerzord. Having not paid attention to Power Rangers since Turbo, I looked back over their older offerings and instantly fell in love with Magiking. So I picked it up, started to collect the current Power Rangers Samurai zords (because they were cheap), and got a complete Super Zeo Megazord for free from a friend in return for selling some of his old TFs on eBay and finding him a complete RPM Ultrazord for less than $200.
After that, I've just cherry picked various mecha throughout the years that I liked the design of, sold ones that didn't quite hold a lasting appeal, and kept collecting US ones (because they can be cheap). My collection is currently pretty stable. The only figures left I'd want are way too old and expensive for me to chase after (Bio Robo, Change Robo, Flash King)

Please correct me if I'm in the wrong place to ask this, but to those that collect Megazords &/or Mecha; how do you choose to display them? I wanna get some PR Megazords but I'm not sure how'd I'd go about placing them in my room considering the amount of space to deal with. Tables? Shelves? And do you keep them in robot form or have them in their individual pieces? Why or why not?

I have 3 Detolfs that hold Figuarts, with the main Mecha on the top of the shelves. My sixth and secondary mecha are on shelves next door, along with some of my other Sentai/PR toys, such as Morphers and weapons.

Both were American.

I never really started collecting as much as it was an excuse for me to keep buying and playing with toys. As for my first, oh god let me think i was born in 94 so hoping I am remembering right. The first ones that were not my older brothers' was warrior wheel from zeo then the carriorzord from turbo. The first actual megazords i got was astro megazord, voyager megazord, and mega winger for christmas when i was like 3 or 4.

My first was actually not a Megazord, it was the BioRobo ST. I still have it but it's missing all the accessories (fists, sword, shield,...).
I purchased the DX version a few years back with the BioDragon, that was my childhood dream to have this version.
BioRobo is still by a very long run my favorite sentai mecha, & the DX toy is just glorious!!!

My first was the time force megazord (DX timerobo). I got it a as a suppirse birthday present and fell in love with the way it turned into 2 diffrent robots, 5 jets and one realy big jet. I thought it was coolest thing.

The rest is history.

That's a very impressive first Megazord! I love the Time Force Megazord, the design was so unique.

For me it was dragonzord. Got him for Christmas and you know the rest is history.

So I'm looking to start collecting a few Megazords/Mecha but I don't want some stiff bricks standing on a shelf with nothing to do. What do you guys think is a good, playable Megazord/Mecha toyline to get?
