Holiday pay combined with a good amount of overtime gave me a nice check and since the bills are caught up I decided to splurge a bit and got the Legacy Thunderzord sets. Tigerzord is on his way for $115 and Megazord was $160.

The proportions are nice and what added articulation there is I can naturally appreciate. The chain on the sword looks great, being able to turn the head and wrists of the megazord, everything holds quite solid and the paint apps and molding are fantastic.

Aside from the Red Dragon Zord, the individual modes didn't get anything new which hurts the set a bit. I wish they all had mouths, at least. The helmet also doesn't plug too securely into the lion zord, though I could be missing something there. I know about the fold out peg but it just doesn't seem to snap in so the thing slips right out anyway.

I know the zord builder mechanics don't work perfectly (have to use white tiger zord, which is still in the mail) but the mere fact that it can combine at all with the old zords including Dragon zord is all kinds of awesome, plus having more show accurate versions of Dragon Zord and Thunder Megazord sanding side by side just looks great.

If only the original Legacy Dino Megazord looked as good.
