My local Target has the MEGABLOKS Power Rangers “Zord” sets on sale for $5.50,
down from $7.99, so I bought the Dolphin Zord. The main (and obvious)
shortcoming of the set is the entirely juniorized head element, but the set
still has a piececount of 65, so the price isn’t too bad even with the
juniorization. The set is almost entirely robin’s-egg-blue (as has previously
appeared in the pastel-neon basic buckets) and dull-chrome, with white and
yellow whighlights on the various “fin” elements. Around the neck of the
Dolphin is a two-piece toothed wheel whose more general application eludes me at
the moment. Also included is the Blue Ranger figure and a weird megaphone-ish
gun of some kind.
The set also has a new 1x4 plate with vertical clips at either end, and a new
hinge element that really surprised me. It works with a long-existing MEGABLOKS
part (c020104f.dat in the clone library) as shown
here (you might need to
hit refresh if you’re seeing some 4x4 tile/plates).
What I like about this is that it’s a creative extension of an existing part,
and I’m always glad to see new hinge elements.
Overall, the set was worth $5.50, even though I’m not a Power Rangers fan. I
just hope that this new hinge starts showing up in other sets in a range of
colors.
Dave!
