If an authentic Dragon Caesar wasn't like $200-300 I'd rather have it instead.

I was more comparing it to the original Bandai of America toy as a separate piece from the combination. I think the die-cast metal pieces, and the tail being more accurate in this version are better...but the tail comes at a cost as I've already stated. I AM really disappointed with the combination which is mostly due to shoehorning the Dragonzord onto something they never planned on the 2010 Megazord combining with in the first place.

The 2010 Megazord was a cheap flat-out toy made for new fans watching the reversion episodes, and they added their gimmicky Zord Builder feature to have it combine with zords it wasn't meant to while hindering it from combining with zords it was actually MADE to combine with. Then to make matters worse they released the Mix and Morph Titanus with even more gimmicks that hinder any future combinations and their design clearly showed that they didn't plan for any combination with Dragonzord.

Instead of just redoing the whole Megazord of modifying it for the Legacy line, a line made for adult collector's...they just reused it, when now that we see Titanus is not a complete reuse of the mold is just rubbing salt in the would. I think if they could have gone back and redone it knowing that the Legacy line would be so popular, they would have. I just find these flaws something that isn't acceptable in an expensive adult collector's line when I would have let them slide if they were just toys.
