NYCC 2015 - Q&A with Bandai America
 

Our own Sentai Tamashii sat down with Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for some questions and answers based on what you fans asked us on our Twitter as well as some of our own questions.

NOTE: We paid attention to what they answered for other sites and did our best not to ask duplicate questions. Poisandra and Ranger Key questions had been asked a ton, so we did not ask those.

One sound that the communicator could (hopefully) include is the oft-forgotten three-note "offline" noise. Would definitely make more sense the MMPR theme again lol

Complete punt in the pricing issue
They don't have an answer other than because we can until we can't

No way they should be commanding SOC prices for legacy stuff

theres absolutely no reason why the Falconzord should be $80, electronics or not. Thats flat out highway robbery especially given many collectors will want 2 or even 3

You didn't ask them, but what is their official line on why I'm being denied a poisondra figure.

Hold on, I'm laughing at "We don't want fans to go broke, especially with the Legacy line"

Sucks that the questions I wanted answered the most either had vague and dodgy answers.
Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait.

Here's just a thought of mine of the Legacy pricing... Would removing the diecast maybe drop the prices? Because right now, the prices I'm seeing are making me picture a lot of shelf warming of the stuff until it goes on clearance.

Heck, my local TRU has Legacy Sabas, movie White Ranger Morphers, Tigerzords, AND black Megazords all collecting dust on the shelves right now.

I just wish they'd make Legacy Zords out of mostly plastic. All the metal on Dragonzord and how it weighs down the Megazord... makes it unfortunately a pass for me. A difficult one, but still a pass. :/

One would think TRU or other retailers will have something to say about the pricing if it's gonna clog shelves

I mean Hasbro jacked up prices and reduced complexity on their figures just to stay on shelves, and they move more volume than legacy shit

Eventually BoA will have to come down or walk away

Read the answers that Bandai gave and here what I think

Talon Ranger might be a con event figure in the future don't think they will release it with dino charge

Legendary Rangers don't think it gonna happen there is just to many figures to release from dino charge core 5, dino drive, extra rangers, and villians

This question got me really angry " stating they don’t really know if there’s any plan or idea to bring them over" REALLY Bandai now is the time to bring the Kyoryuger Figuarts over while Dino Charge is airing not when the show over. I feel Bandai out right lie about plans cause in the past they did the same thing with Gokaiger and Ninniger figuarts never happen ugh
