Power Rangers Minimates

[spidermatt]

Nice Goldar and Rita! 
Now i know this is a little late to be askin. But has the idea of doin another C3 type lego build, but with the zords been talked about? Its not a DC property so could it be in the realm of possibility?

[Nessex]

@DSTZach - are there any plans for a Jennifer Coolidge Megazord set?

[DSTZach]

NO plans for more building sets, especially for Power Rangers. Trying to get good order numbers for the VInimates.

NO plans for Jennifer Coolidge outside our Gentleman Broncos box set.

@DSTZach Do you think a possible 3rd box set is dependent on whether the Vinimates set generates enough interest?

Do you have any update on the 2nd box set?

I would pre-order 10 of these!

I think the second box set sales probably determined that. Not sure how it did, I need to go back and check.

Not at this time.

Thank you Zach

Hello Zach,

Is there any word on how sales went in the second round for the Megazord and Dragonzord Vinimates? I hope they come out.

[SCW]

So it's possible that Power Rangers is already dead in the water? Because that would be... disappointing.

I believe we just solicited them a couple of weeks ago, so it will be a few weeks at LEAST before we have final numbers. The price did go up a little, so hopefully we have more orders and not less.

As far as I know, Series 2 is still on the way. I do not currently have a release date, but I do not always get them before they reach the warehouse. If it sells through well, another set is not out of the question, but I do not know where we are in development of such a hypothetical set.

@luke314pi Will you be re-offering these? And/or changing the price for those who have already put in an order the first time?

Hi @DSTZach, there is a UK-based Ebay store claiming they'll have series two arriving on 5th April; have you had any update at your end?

[DSTZach]

On Monday I'll get a new inventory,  see if they are in the warehouse. UK ship dates are different than US ship dates, but usually they're later, as the product goes through Mississippi on its way there. So I'm thinking no, but maybe?

[dj87]

That's what I thought you'd say, but he seemed so sure. Appreciate the updates, thank you.

Hello Zach, is there any news on the Megazord and Dragonzord vinimates? Did the sales do better? I hope so. 😁

Also has there been any news on the series 2 box set of power rangers?

[DSTZach]

As far as I know we are proceeding with the Vinimates and we included them and Series 2 in the Fan Expo. Not sure of release.

Many mini-figures have hands that are designed to hold accessories ,being mini-figures the scale of the hands generally blend & aren't that noticeable but they are IMHO the worst aspect of the Minimate design . I accept that this part of the Minimate design  is reasonable .   Taking (IMHO) the worst aspect of a Minimate & exaggerating it in an inarticulate 4" version of a Minimate just didn't work ....especially when you consider that these enormous looking hand-orbs are unlikely to carry accessories in the manner a Minimate would  .  

All that said , I like the Zords.

It's newsworthy (perhaps) that the pre-order/re-run of the Black Hole pair have just been despatched from BBTS & it would appear they are sold out.

There should therefore be some hope for these 'zords 

Forgive my shameless quote above which re:  'hands' ......neither MAX or Vinimatecent have Vini-hands.

Anybody who wants extremely nice versions of the 2 Hole characters (without love of Vinimates) should buy these ,they are readily available on eBay/elsewhere for about $20 if you're quick.

Series 2 is in the warehouse. Probably in stores next Wednesday.

I just realized that my response to this never posted. Since the price and cost changed, and since the original preorders were in our old store, we will be refunding the original preorders and asking people to reorder in our new store here.

Hopefully the rest of the team will arrive in time!
