This has to be the holy Grail of my collection right now. I wish I had the dragonzord.

The Dragonzord was, and is, a great figure. However there's not much to it on it's own, you really need the Megazord to go with it to get the most out of it, so long as you have that then it's worth the purchase.

I have the re release one and was waiting for re release of the dragonzord but then they canceled the line

I really wanted the rerelease dragonzord but I got the first one so I am okay. I am actually working on getting all of Tommys zords.

I use to have the classic red ranger signed by his actor but my older sister stole it and sold it

Do Boy · 10-09-2011, 12:03 PM

I never had the original as a kid

. Does it work with the re-release one?

I don't believe so, no... The Reissue Megazord is actually smaller than the original, so Dragonzord wouldn't fit properly.

No sadly it doesn't.

It took me years of hunting to get mine finally. But heck in the end it was free so I can't complain.

Congrats, Do Boy! That's a pretty cool thing to have in your collection.

If you're referring to David Yost (Billy), you might want to read up some more on his backstory first. Regardless, that's proably not a good topic for discussion here.

What I meant was that he tends to be a bit difficult towards people who ask about his work on MMPR, as I understand it. I'm well aware of the story behind it, and I do admit that I was a bit harsh in my previous statement, but it still comes across as a bit jerkish to blow off people who grew up idolizing him- but again, this is all second-hand hearsay.

But, I will say no more on the subject.

I finally got my S.H. Figuarts Shinken Gold from my friend. I love it. Too bad Daigoyou's head doesn't pop up. I kind of want to search for a sushi cart, even possibly make one to go with Genta now.

These guys just started popping up at work. They look good, I just don't think I can justify the 30-something clams for one... I'm not THAT big of a Power Rangers fan.

I'm not too big a Power Rangers fan myself, just more so as a fan of Sentai I just had to have Shinken Gold who is a more likable character in Shinkenger than Samurai.

Plus it's actually cheaper to get them at $34.98 than the original $50+ price tag.

I'm not arguing that- explained it to a customer earlier this week when we got them in. Promised him that if he found it cheaper online and came back to me with a receipt, I'd eat my shoes then and there.

I like them, I just have other things that take priority over a $35 imported action figure.

Like a $35 domestic jet fighter or a new(ish) video game.

Have you seen the regular Gold Ranger yet? All I've spotted so far is the Mega version.

D00MTR0N · 11-02-2011, 07:09 PM

yeah there are actually 2 at my local target now.

LXL_Guy · 11-02-2011, 09:08 PM

I myself have yet to run across a regular gold. Just those horrendous looking Mega Golds. Then again I haven't found an Ika origami zord at all either. Just seems that Gold is the hardest to find considering the S.H. Figuarts is x4 Shinken Red & x2 Shinken Gold.

I might pick up a Deker at some point just to repaint since he was such a cool villain over all in both versions or mainly Shinkenger. Hopefully you get what I mean.

trebleshot · 11-02-2011, 09:30 PM

I've been trying to get all six of the Rangers in both Mega and Samurai versions, though the Pink Mega is proving particularily hard to find in stores. I've seen it online and I might break down and go that route, but I'd love to find her on the pegs first.

Anyone know if they are going to release Pink and Yellow in the Samurai outfits? It would suck to only have a complete set in the Mega outfits.

By the way, I have yet to see the Samurai version of Gold in stores.

LXL_Guy · 11-02-2011, 09:32 PM

Samurai Gold is a pain to find. It's 1 per case. Seems most are snatching that up right away. I believe Samurai Pink is in a version B case assortment to replace the Rita figure. Again 1 per case. Horrible how it's only 1 per case.

trebleshot · 11-02-2011, 09:40 PM

Ugh, and I wasn't even considering that Pink might be as hard to find as Rita. How bad is Bandai at doing case revisions? This is the first time I've bought any of their 4" figures.

Very bad.

If you really desperately need a Pink, I could pick one up for you.

They're here sporadically. I also saw a normal Gold.

But I know at TRU they have a Mega Mode set with all 6 of them, if that helps.
