I feel as if Hasbro is trying a few different tactics with this line to see what works. They are trying to top Bandai's legacy line while also doing some things differently.
In this case, it's as if they wanted to get the Psycho Rangers out there to show a direct comparison between the Legacy figure and the Lightning Collection figure. With the MMPR stuff they made sure to not only include their weapons, but also make them combine. They want fans to find something about these figures that they like better so they will rebuy the same characters.
Frankly, I think the LC is far above the old Legacy line. I don't know why the figures don't seem to be selling as well as I would think. Series 1 is still kicking around at full price most places, but we still see certain figures sell out during pre-order. This may just be a case of Hasbro putting out a lot of product in the first year or so to make sure these characters are on the pegs as the line continues to build steam.
At the end of the day, Power Rangers LC will never reach the level of Marvel Legends in terms of popularity. Marvel is popular right now, more than ever before. Power Rangers peaked in the 90's and will never reach that same level again. It is a kids show and has never broken out of that genre. The only reason I even collect LC stuff is because the figures are good, not because I still watch the shows.
