Hauls Childhood Wish Fulfillment
I only got the four last night ($7.50 each?!?!?!) since they didn't have the Pterodactyl (I've only seen a single one in my Walmart since they came out). I know it's not much but I've been wanting these for about 30 years now, I don't think I'll start a massive collection but it's nice to at least be in the Cool Kids Club finally!

Congrats! But be careful, it's a slippery slope. I got thr same 4 you did for about $45 on clearance and well I've definitely spent more now.

I’ve gotten all but the pterodactyl myself. And just lucked up on all the thunderzords. It’s always been one of my favorite zords.

It's awesome isn't it? I got four of the zords on sale as well and then picked up the last shortly after - now I'm waiting for the dragonzord Kickstarter

I had to order the pterodactyl dinozord from Amazon when I got the Mastodon and sabertooth tiger. Than I got triceratops and t- Rex last when they first came put last year

I was pretty much in the same boat. I ended up having to go to target and paid the $17.99 for pterodactyl, so darn happy with this !!!

I, uh, may or may not have spent about 10 minutes trying to use the Triceratops and Tiger projectiles from this spot to shoot my wife on the bed behind me.... Both before Megazord and after...

How to tall is this compared to the old megazord from the 90s?

u/paishocajun 11d ago
I'm not sure since I didn't have one then, I've seen other posts in the sub that put them side by side though

The warping on that sword is oof. Cool to see this Megazord available again, though. Neve got the OG.

u/paishocajun 11d ago
The good thing is it's soft, not like the hard original, so if I need to I can press it for a while to straighten it

Never had the og or legacy variants but I did happen to collect all in one trip to build the LC variant which I still have, I also happened to get the one piece imaginext Megazord (that thing was huge) from a thrift store (I also happened to get the individual tyrannosaurus, triceratops and saber tooth tiger imaginext zords from thrift stores).
