Especially right now, Toy hunting is not good.

Some people love the challenge. Hey by all means in a normal situation go ahead and do that.

Other people should have the option to just go online and order a copy. I wish Target/Walmart and co would get with the program.

I can't buy an exclusive figure if my local stores never get them and the inventory system isn't up to task.

Yup. Gotta say I miss the days when you didn't have to do a stock count every day on Brickseek or Popfindr in order to find new product by you, or when you didn't have to F5 on a preorder page at 5 in the morning or risk everything being sold out within literal minutes.

Hell, even with import items. I was trying to get the SHF Androids from DBZ last week and only lucked out by happening to wake up at 5 in the morning and seeing that they went back up for preorder. About 5 minutes after that they were sold out again.


It's even more annoying this year because now every toy company keeps relying on retailer exclusivity for highly sought after items, when the only company that seems to give a crap about actually having enough supply to meet demand is Amazon. EDIT: I guess GameStop's exclusives aren't too bad either.

Doesn't help that certain retailers aren't good with online or stocking in store in many areas.

Hasbro, Neca and co are working with retailers who don't give a few cents about toys. On the slip side, websites dedicated to it are the last ones to get the regular stuff.

Indeed. Wal-Mart exclusives being the absolute worst. Not only are they notoriously awful when it comes to collectibles, my two local Wal-Marts never get anything, so I end up having to pay double for anything I want off them.

Actually, there was a listing found for this guy a little while back in Target's system, along with a deluxe Ranger SKU for a "Dino Special Ranger", but there wasn't confirmation that it was specifically this figure, most speculation thought it might have been MMPR Black because it was just listed as Black Ranger.

Seriously, this is what I do not get. Why isn't everything just a fan channel exclusive instead of using Wal-Mart and Target?

I guess at the end of the day these companies will still sell more by accident at Target and Walmart than they will intentionally to collectors.

I want to get the MMPR red ranger helmet. But idk if I want to pre-order it on Hasbro Pulse.

After selling Red and Blue to make way for the 5 pack, the Green Psycho I got in yesterday is now the only one I've got for now.. But man even as technically figure #3 he's still awesome. I just love the Psycho design so much. I would take this in literally any color they want to throw at me. Please, Boom, make for us some Gold and Purple Psychos lol.

Did I miss my chance at preordering the Psycho Rangers, or have they not actually gone up yet? Will Hasbro ever actually announce that the set even exists??

Screw exclusives this year man.

2 of each? How come?

Some people really(x2) need one preserved unopened and the other they can take out of the box.


As to that little list. Really it's not different then getting an extra wave of figures in if not making up for the wave we would have gotten if not for corona.

QUOTE=Kurona;770132]2 of each? How come?[/QUOTE]

I collect them with my son, we each get our own since he likes to be slightly more rough with his, and I like to correct paint errors and omissions when I can.



....except that they're not delaying very much with Corona? Count out all the exclusives releasing in a two month period here. 12 figures and 3 large accessories. That's equivalent to three waves being dropped all at the same time. Add in that the next regular wave is still due out by October, and no guarantees those won't just get dumped in stores. That's a lot for one line in such a short time frame no matter the situation.

12 figures? It's 5 five figures in one set and it's a big repaint there.

Putties and Psycho Green - Figures we've had before but repaints.

The other figures I feel make up a wave we would have gotten during the summer plus all the exclusives we got last year. Some of these figure will be around for a while. We expected Hasbro would do more during year 2. Well here you go.

Devon's head on Psycho Green actually looks pretty cool. Lol!! Also, it's a shame about that I scythe, I wanted one but your shop doesn't carry them anymore.

Huh... I really like the MMPR helmet on the Psycho Ranger bodies. A little gold paint on the body for green ranger to emulate a shield would look pretty good too.

What worries me is that Wave 6 has still not been announced. SDCC came and went and hardly anything was announced outside of some exclusives. Then again we didn't get much about the future of Marvel Legends either.

Still comes out to $20 per fig doesn't it? Just because the five pack only has two different molds doesn't invalidate my point. The only discount there is the putty two pack.

My part of the discussion isn't about the price of the figures. Only what we are getting.
If you've been collecting so far then you will basically be seeing duplicate figures which I don't count.

I've been a transformers collector my entire life, I'm hard-wired to count repaints.

Lightning Collection Dino Charge Black seen at Target in Alexandria, Louisiana.

The one Target near my workplace has been stripped of almost all Power Rangers items. The only things left are the silver ranger's zord and the lion morpher. Not a single lightning figure to be found.

Maybe we can take the helmet off this guy and put it on the LC Red?

I'm definitely intrested in that 3 pack how much did it cost?

$25 according to a few people I follow online. Haven't seen it in any stores near me yet.

Huh. What range is that?

I wonder if that red ranger head will fit on the LC red ranger body.

Anyone else kinda worried for PR's marketing division? Like... like are they okay?



Anyway Zeo Megazord is out

Yeah Hasbro just doesn't want to announce anything about Power Rangers. I feel like they are going to have a countdown to a super duper reveal and it will be the Psycho Rangers 5 pack on Amazon............in December.


Anyway Omega/Psycho Rangers packing.

The million dollar question.

Lightning Collection Zordon & Alpha spotted in Malaysia

Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa pack is also available here now. By here I mean Malaysia.

Apparently, wave 6 was spotted on Walmart.com.

Two of the figures have been identified as MMPR black and the Red Zeo Ranger

It looks like the wave has an MMPR figure instead of the SPD villain.

If it's MMPR Green I will laugh so, so hard at a single wave having two tommys

Glad my boy Zack is still in. Sad that this basically deconfirms Grumm though. Was really hoping for a good figure of him, even if they went the cheaper route and just remolded their excellent Zedd figure.

Lightning Collection Wave 6 has been found. MMPR Green, MMPR Black, Zeo Red and In Space Yellow:

TWO TOMMYS, THERE IT IS HAHAHA

That aside, IS Yellow looks pretty good. Lovely helmet sculpt

I want an Omega Ranger, but I feel like as soon as I buy it, they'll release a fixed version as a normal release. So ehhhh.

Bu I'm excited for the Space Rangers! I'll probably get the Tommys as well.

Man, even as a guy who likes Tommy, I really would've preferred Grumm, or even another MMPR villain, over MMPR Green. But I guess they're focusing on saving budget this wave.

Well whatever, just glad I get to have my boy Zack in his regular suit. Hoping I get to see Bridge or Philip sometime soon.

I'm hoping with this wave they can move on from MMPR for at least a bit afterwards.
