But only fans care about the Thunder Megazord & Ninja Megazord, which more than likely means higher price tags due to lower sales. They're trying to get their money back & can't rely on the general adult collectors audience anymore since their attachment to Power Rangers usually begins & ends with the Dino Megazord, hence the rising prices. We just got a single Zord cost the same price as the first Megazord for God's sake.

And unless your everyday customers start looking at these & buy them up like crazy the cost is only gonna get worse & worse. I shutter to think how much the often fan-requested Astro Megazord & Wild Force Megazord would be marked as in Legacy form. Hell, I'd bet the line ends up dying before it can even reach that far.

Of course, it's not like there's any real proof to all of this. It's just the projected image I see everytime someone talks about this line.

I actually didn't even know what the first Megazord looked like until I got back into Power Rangers about a year ago. Of course, I grew up with Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, and Time Force and I'd love to see some new versions of the Megazords from them (especially Time Force, I'd like that stupid combining gun too). The only reason the Legacy line interest me is because of the designs. As much as ZordBuilder is hated I think it is a smart idea to do with these, if they started to widen the target audience. If they start to try and market the legacy line to kids by doing some "Flashback Filler" or whatever and doing some episodes that highlight past Ranger teams and their Zords and lower the prices of the Legacy line they might be able to pull kids into it.

If they don't do that they should just drop the ZordBuilder from it and start marketing it as kind of the Power Rangers equivalent of the Transformers Masterpiece line (which I think is what they're trying but failing). Having a gimmick aimed at kids who might have stuff from multiple lines in your collector-oriented line isn't that great of an idea. I know it comes from the re-aired MMPR and the redone Megazord for that but that doesn't mean you have to keep it.
