If they were planning on nixxing the Zord Builder, this would be the time to do it.

In fact, I still think there's a chance we might get modded imports this time for a couple reasons:

1. The Megazords are pretty small as they are. While they CAN get smaller, as BOA has shown us in the past (thanks, Gosei Great), they'd have to get MUCH smaller because...

2. Lion-Ha Oh just can't fit into the $35 price point and still remotely function as he is meant to. However, we're benefiting from a movie year, which means...

3. BoA can justify price increases. Don't be surprised to see import Megazords at the $50 level this time around. BoA can also do this because kids can opt for the smaller Ottominnin, which I could see priced at the $20 level. Add in alternative non-transforming Megazord action figures at the $10 price point and BoA will have their bases covered well enough.

But this is just speculation on my part. I know BoA is pretty dedicated to the Zord Builder play-style right now...but it DOES seem like they're downplaying it a bit with both Dino Charge and Legacy. It makes sense to go ahead and wean the fans off the play-style now as we head to what is essentially a marketing hard reboot for the movie and Ninja Steel.
