I doubt that'll happen considering Black was already leaked as part of the next wave, and Green, well, it's Green, so he'll sell tons all on his own regardless.
The only other team I could maybe possibly see this sort of thing happening to anytime soon would be Beast Morphers, considering even accounting for leaks, Yellow and Silver still aren't available yet and BM is almost over. Really hoping that won't be the case though.

Not gonna lie I hate this. Because of this I doubt Black, Pink and Yellow are gonna get individual releases, and it sets a dangerous precedent that any team deemed not particularly popular/profitable could get 1 or 2 single pack releases and then the rest just as a team pack.
Like, if it's impossible for... I dunno, Operation Overdrive and Lost Galaxy to get individual releases that'd sell well so they have to resort to team packs... at least they are still coming out. The main problem of course would be how exclusive they are and how much they might be scalped, but so far at least LC hasn't had much of an issue with that.

I think going forward they should do whole teams/couples first and then the solo release.

I do agree with all this, but the way I see it... at least it means they'd happen at all?

Really hoping that won't be the case though. If I'm right and that's the sort of trick they're pulling in order to make the line sell better... I'm all for it. Frankly we might even get more villains or super modes out of it going by that theory!

They'll just spring a team pack out after 2 or 3 releases with the knowledge people will double dip.

Good point. It's definitely going to be interesting seeing how Hasbro will handle the least popular seasons(Turbo, PROO, etc). I could actually see them doing Super Mega Force 2-Packs based on characters. So the Troy pack would come with Gosei and Gokai Red, the Jake Pack would come with Gosei Black & Gokai Green, etc. So a 2-pack scenario? Still makes things a little harder, but a much nicer compromise I feel and would be easy enough to get individuals. I'd be down for that.

I'm cool with team packs. I actually prefer it this way because it's a guarantee that you'll have a completed team. But they need to communicate what collectors are gonna have to assemble piece by piece and what they'll be able to buy in one fell swoop.

I think that's the thing that bothers me the most about this -- that unlike FS Green, there's going to be no actual difference in Blue or Red in this 5-pack from their original releases, and they're not exactly the sort of characters you want to troop-build or have multiples of.

In the US outside of Gamestop the figures are $19.99 each. Gamestop though ups the price to 22 or 24 dollars. Gamestop for an hour originally that that Zedd/Rita at $60. I think enough people would drop $120 on a team. How many people have been buying a whole wave? Now it shouldn't be the primary means. But if Hasbro Pulse has a limited set of all five/six figures for sale then I think it could be successful. A mass release into stores like target, yeah no I don't think the customer base is there at the moment. This is where Early Adopters exist. They will drop the cash for the team set. For everyone else they'd settle for a solo release but Hasbro would have to be clear that the solo release is coming. Power Rangers is in that weird place where it's really a troop building franchise but each member has a special difference. It's not like the X-men or Justice League.

I just said it on Twitter but I'll say it again here - hope you're all ready for the inevitable Zeo pack with individual weapons and retracted swords
