Remember how the Falconzord was announced at $80 but fan response got Bandai to change that to $60?

TRU went ahead and started selling it at $80. Bandai said they'd talk to TRU about it. After a few weeks it dropped to $60 and then went up to $65 pretty shortly after that.

And yes, the Ninja Megazord was announced at $80. Amazon doesn't normally charge more for pre-orders. Other retailers have had it at $109.

I'm kind of wondering if internally they decided the Falconzord + Ninja Megazord should have a combined MSRP of $160. When fans got mad that the Falconzord was $80, they just "moved" $20 bucks over to the Megazord. Actually typig that out makes me realize how unlikely that sounds and they're just charging more because they can.

Heck, maybe the LTMZ sold well enough at $200 they knew they could up the price (and maybe quality) of the Ninja Megazord a bit.
