We reported this via our @TokuNation Twitter account yesterday, but we are also making a front page post at the behest of our friends at Bandai America who want to make sure that this information gets out to everyone as there was a lot of concern over the original details.
Regarding the Legacy Thunder Megazord: The individual zords that make up the Thunder Megazord will indeed combine with each other to form the classic attack sled just like the original release 20 years ago. The information before was uncertain but Bandai America is now confirming that the attack sled can indeed be formed by the individual zords.
Regarding the Legacy Falconzord: The original price listed in Toys’R’Us computers showed a suggested retail of $79.99. Many fans were upset as the Legacy Falconzord by itself does very little – it’s a bird that doesn’t turn in to anything and only acts as an attachment for the Ninja Megazord and the Shogun Megazord, which currently have not been announced as upcoming Legacy items but teased as such by Bandai America at NYCC 2015. Towards the end of the show, Bandai America reached out to us to confirm that the price of the Legacy Falconzord will be $59.99. This is great news for a lot of us as we believed the original price of $80 was too high.
A very special thanks to Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for the follow up on these questions. Please stay tuned as there’s a lot of great things coming from Bandai America for fans of both the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as fans of Power Rangers Dino Charge!
Our own Sentai Tamashii sat down with Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for some questions and answers based on what you fans asked us on our Twitter as well as some of our own questions.
NOTE: We paid attention to what they answered for other sites and did our best not to ask duplicate questions. Poisandra and Ranger Key questions had been asked a ton, so we did not ask those.

One sound that the communicator could (hopefully) include is the oft-forgotten three-note "offline" noise. Would definitely make more sense the MMPR theme again lol

Complete punt in the pricing issue
They don't have an answer other than because we can until we can't
No way they should be commanding SOC prices for legacy stuff
theres absolutely no reason why the Falconzord should be $80, electronics or not. Thats flat out highway robbery especially given many collectors will want 2 or even 3
You didn't ask them, but what is their official line on why I'm being denied a poisondra figure.
Hold on, I'm laughing at "We don't want fans to go broke, especially with the Legacy line"
Sucks that the questions I wanted answered the most either had vague and dodgy answers.
Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait.
Here's just a thought of mine of the Legacy pricing... Would removing the diecast maybe drop the prices? Because right now, the prices I'm seeing are making me picture a lot of shelf warming of the stuff until it goes on clearance.
Heck, my local TRU has Legacy Sabas, movie White Ranger Morphers, Tigerzords, AND black Megazords all collecting dust on the shelves right now.
I just wish they'd make Legacy Zords out of mostly plastic. All the metal on Dragonzord and how it weighs down the Megazord... makes it unfortunately a pass for me. A difficult one, but still a pass. :/
One would think TRU or other retailers will have something to say about the pricing if it's gonna clog shelves
I mean Hasbro jacked up prices and reduced complexity on their figures just to stay on shelves, and they move more volume than legacy shit
Eventually BoA will have to come down or walk away
Read the answers that Bandai gave and here what I think
Talon Ranger might be a con event figure in the future don't think they will release it with dino charge
Legendary Rangers don't think it gonna happen there is just to many figures to release from dino charge core 5, dino drive, extra rangers, and villians
This question got me really angry " stating they don’t really know if there’s any plan or idea to bring them over" REALLY Bandai now is the time to bring the Kyoryuger Figuarts over while Dino Charge is airing not when the show over. I feel Bandai out right lie about plans cause in the past they did the same thing with Gokaiger and Ninniger figuarts never happen ugh
