>>6779707>As for the Zord Builder thing, is that really always so bad?The Zordbuilder concept is great, but Bandai's execution of it has been piss poor. For starters all Zordbuilder pegs/ports aren't created equal. I recently got the Blaze Megazord and was looking forward to making 4/5ths of an all Yellow Megazord (assuming the 5th part would come next year), only to have the Sabertooth Tiger refuse to lock into place. You can't tell from this photo, but if I breathed on it the Zord would pop right out. It's amazing I was even able to get it to hold long enough to take the photo.
I can't substitute a different yellow Zord because the Griffin Thunderzord is a lot taller, and the Tiger Mechazord is a lot shorter, which brings us to problem #2, inconsistent sizing. When your gimmick is intercompatibility all your legs should be the same damn size. Arms you can get away with different lengths, but you should be able to combine any legs and still have it stand up straight on it's own two feet.
In general the Zordbuilder system seems like an afterthought, and when things end up fitting together nicely it's through sheer happenstance. Lots of times there's clearance issues. Other times there's omissions of ports/pegs where you'd want them. It's kind of a mess how many things can't combine with other things which should be able to.
