My review of the review:
I don't understand this review or fans of BoA products. The review basically points out all the differences between the BoA and BoJ/Korean release - how the U.S. release is smaller, has fewer moving parts, cheaper plastic, less paint detail, less show-accurate, etc. and all it really has going for it is the noncanonical zord-builder gimmick - and then tells you to go buy the U.S. version anyway. What?! Yeah, if you want some cheap, watered-down knock-off to literally kick around, go for it. If you care at all about the source material, the quality of your toy (articulation, paint, etc.), and overall bang-for-your-buck, then don't settle for...whatever you want to call this U.S. release...don't support BoA's patronizing, demeaning gesture, and go get a Gokai-Oh for $74.99 shipped or less. Gokaiger was amazing, and the toys were great, but like most BoA products, this "Legendary Megazord" is just another copout. If you have any respect for yourself or your collection, you can do better. Just because it says "Power Rangers" on it, or is based, however loosely, on Gokaiger, doesn't mean it is worth your hard-earned income. Yes it's cool to have toys that are show accurate, but guess what, this isn't always possible. BOA and BOJ have completely different toy making methods, which means that you're rarely ever going to get a toy that is exactly the same. Whether it be articulation, paint apps, or anything else, something will have to go to make it in BOA, and to make it cheaper. Once again, these are for kids to play with. Same goes for the Japan version, except they put more detailed work into it because that's how Japan is. If it wasn't for BOA, none of us would probably have some of these toys, as the Japanese ones aren't cheap. I'll admit they don't do the best job they could do, but they at least try and give us a quality product for the market it's being released in. And how the hell is this demeaning? You pretty much said in your last paragraph that if you get this, you do not respect your collection, and you do not respect yourself. That is utter horse shit. This gets my award for the most retarded comment of the you on any site I frequent. You sir sound like a complete prick, and with this, showed that you probably are not just a prick, but a snob.

Guys. Let's tone down the rhettoric a little bit, shall we? There's no reason to post angrily about this, no matter what side you're on. So let's not start a fight about this, alright?

I deleted two posts.
One was stating some negativity towards those who purchase BoA products, the other was in contrast to that statement, but took it a little far with the personal jabs. We all have differing opinions - all I ask is that you RESPECT those opinions. Not saying you have to be friends. But this board isn't the place for either side to become so rage-filled that we start flinging personal attacks at each other. Now hug it out! ![]()

Because I refuse to compromise on quality or buy inferior products, I'm a snob? If you can't save up for a better product, what does that make you? Feel free to settle. God bless America. Last edited by goldblade6; 11-29-2013 at 10:07 AM.. |

Ok, before this gets out of hand, let's just agree to disagree. BOA brought BOJ product to US before with Samurai, and the price certainly reflects the difference in quality, BOA compensated the reduction with more playability with the Zord Builder ports that can pull off (although non canonical) combinations. Clearly the consumer has a choice to make depending on their preference. Buying one over the other doesn't make anyone less of a person, so let's respect and be civil to one another.
Speaking of screen accuracy, even the BOJ GokaiOh can't pull off the russian doll effect of storing all the other parts inside the Galleon nor can it pull off poses that even the SRC GokaiOh had trouble doing, so it is a moot point. Buy whatever you like, it's your money.

I love this Megazord.Sure it has it's downs,like Balt said,but in the long run it's still better then what we've gotten for a while.I for one understand why they made it the way they did.It's being marketed for kids.The simplicity(taking out the opening panels for pegs) and the lack of paint were done to make it affordable.Yeah,BoJ makes it for kids too,and their quality is higher,but thats because I could go over to every household in Japan,no matter the age gap,and say "sentai" and start a conversation.
