Retrofire Megazords

For those who do not collect Bandai America toys, these are collectible Megazords with edgier designs than the more boxy Megazords. They started coming out in late 2008 during Power Rangers Jungle Fury. The first figures would come with weapon, base and card. I put the Megazords in the order that they were shown on the shows, not order of release. I am not crazy about these but I can't ifnore them, there are 16 of them! I think I am also influenced by my nephew who is so into the Megazords now.

Retrofire Mighty Morphin' Megazord
This was released in late 2008 and wasn't re-released again. It came in a regular box.

Retrofire Series Collector's Edition Zeo Megazord
 It was scheduled for Spring of 2010, but probably because of the 2010 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toyline was canceled. It was released in Fall of 2011 with the Power Rangers Samurai line. It came with wings which the show version did not have. It came in a cylinder container. 

Retrofire Time Force Megazord Mode Red
It was to be released in Fall of 2009 in the US but released in Japan, United Kingdom and in other countries.  It still hasn't been released in the United States.

Retrofire Samurai Megazord

Retrofire Claw Battlezord

Megaforce Retrofire Gosei Great Megazord

Megaforce Retrofire Gosei Grand Megazord
Released in stores in December of 2012 but officially Spring of 2013 toyline.

So of the main Megazords missing are 8: Thunder Megazord (MMPR), Ninja Megazord, Turbo Megazord, Astro Megazord (PRiS), Galaxy Megazord, Lightspeed Megazord, Storm Megazord (PRNS), and DriveMax Megazord. I noticed auxiliary Megazords appear during the current show like 3 RPM Megazords, Claw Battlezord and Gosei Grand Megazord. So maybe getting other auxiliary Megazords like Mega Dragonzord, Mega Tigerzord, Shogun Megazord, Super Zeo Megazord, Rescue Megazord (PRT), MegaVoyager (PRiS), Mega Winger (PRiS), Torozord (PRLG), SuperTrain Megazord (PRLR), Omega Megazord (PRLR), Thundersaurus (PRTF), Time Force Megazord Mode Blue, Thunder Megazord (PRNS), Stegazord (PRDT), SWAT Megazord (PRSPD), OmegaMax Megazord (PRSPD), SolarStreak Megazord (PRMF), Battlefleet Megazord (PROO), Rhino Pride Megazord (PRJF) and others is asking too much.
