I know it's shallow of me, since the Megabloks Samurai Megazord is priced at, like, $20, but I just wanted to have the option of the animal modes.

But really, when you think about it, Megabloks wouldn't be allowed to do that in the same way lego Star Wars can't just release minifigs alone: they'd be taking business away from teh actual toys. In Megabloks case moreso, since they'd probably be betetr than the BOA Megazord

Anybody who wanted real minifigures?

I'm not saying Lego doesn't have an appeal, but it's an outdated and limited appeal.

It's novelty, but in this day and age novelty isn't enough. Thats like if all Transformers toys were poorly-sculpted bricks like G1 and hid behind the excuse of "it's got cham." No, the original old toys have charm because the idea of that being the standard at one point is endearing. However nowadays they're just lazy and archaic. Still perfectly fine for what they are, but it's what they are that's the problem.

Now the chibi-style Halo minifigs? (technically called Microfigures) That's charming, because at that tiny size you're forced to cartoon proportions a bit for sake of joint stability, and it's cute yet at the same time awesome how detailed they keep them. Imagine those helmets but on the articulated Megabloks bodies actually posed instead of their arms and legs slightly moved.
