first look: Dino Thunder Yellow!

oh yeah kira.

So that's half of the next wave revealed. Me thinks that Kira is gonna the one most people jump on, haha.

I just hope they actually reveal it soon... the last wave reveal was back in *October*, it's weird how much of a LC news drought there's been since then

I'd be way more excited for Kira if I didn't think she was going to be bullshit expensive like the recent wave of figures turned out to be.

I get that. The recent price hike to $25 across all of Hasbro's' lines(and in some cases, $30!) really isn't great. Some future releases in other lines have justified the increased price; I just hope Lightning Collection can do the same.

I've gotten to a point where I don't buy lightning collection at full price unless it is a character that I think will be hard to find like an MMPR figure, and even then it seems there isn't much fear it it selling out fast. Everyth9ing else I get on sale or clearance now. Not the best way to maintain a line, but these just aren't $25 figures.

I love how LC in space silver went up on walgreens yesterday, sold out in a matter of hours, and then for the rest of the day showed as in stock but no one was able to add to cart. Now the page shows out of stock. Called walgreens customer support, they dont know what to do.

I hope they restock, i really want one, he's the last in space ranger im missing, but I'll never pay those scalper prices.

ZAP Dragonzord and LC Metallic Armor White are up for pre-order. With Metallic White being a Pulse Exclusive like the other Metallic Armor figures.

And yes, the Dragonzord is able to combine with the upcoming Megazord.

Woah, finally! More MMPR!

excellent one.

As frustrating as the Transformers leak game has been it really showed me how much interest there is in that line from both consumers & the company. Fans ate up all that info because Hasbro is going in very interesting & creative ways with those toylines.

Meanwhile for Power Rangers, aside from the last wave, there hasn't been much attention on LC. If anything I'm seeing fans be more & more disinterested in the line while Hasbro just keeps putting MMPR in damn near half the future product.

I can understand the lack of hype going into LC, but I don't wanna give up hope. Yes, they did pretty much burn through some fan favorites seasons already, threatening the longevity of the line by splurging out guaranteed buys so early. However I still feel there's alot to look forward to in LC.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, guess I just wanted to express what I've been feeling for the past few months whenever the topic of LC comes up. Fingers crossed future waves can be looked forward to & bring lots of us excitement again!

Looks really nice! I especially love the packaging. But I'm still most likely gonna pass as I'm more than happy with the SRC Megazord. If the line keeps going and does some othe mechs that I like, I'll likely save up to grab those.

New reveals today: MMPR Black (Adam), and Lost Galaxy Green

Front page? Or is that not a thing anymore

I find it funny that Adam comes with the Extinguisher weapon when it was Zack who used that.

OF COURSE THE BLACK RANGER IS MMPR LOL. God. Here I was hoping they'd wrap up DT in one wave

It's finally out! Found the Tyrannosaurus Sentry at Target for about $22! They only had one and it was just lying stop Transformers!

Dino Thunder Yellow is now up for pre-order. As well, the team apparently announced Dino Charge Blue as a future release on their live stream today.

and Crimson Hawk Ranger joins the line!

Something to note about this is that it's apparently going to be $33.99 USD. Here's all that it comes with:

There are SHFs that are barely more expensive that come with way more, and as such I personally don't think that it's worth the price. If I ever find it on discount, sure, I'll grab it. But at that supposed retail value? No thanks.

Oof that's quite the hefty price. I guess it's a premium figure cause video games but still, that isn't really a satisfying price point.

Part of the price is probably Capcom tax.

That's what it's been like with Marvel Legends too lately for the anniversary stuff. It really sucke

That's a cool looking figure. Looks like I'm back in on LC.

I hope we get Chun Li too.

I almost hope we don't get Chun Li because the sculpt will be terrible--just a reuse of one of their pink ranger bodies, which does not a decent Chun Li make... This is where I hate Hasbro and praise companies like McFarlane, who, granted their lineup choices and some of their articulation/accessory choices are a little questionable, it can at least be said that they always value sculpt over lining their own pockets. Does that mean we get a few cashgrab reuses like an unmasked head variant as a second product? Sure, but I often will buy both if the sculpt is good--I think it's that important.

Meanwhile in Pawtucket, they're sitting there like "what is this variation in female bodies you speak of? every female character can be made with this one vaguely high school girl-ish, maybe crossdressing guy-ish figure body"...

I hope we'll get a Chun Li, too. Makes me wish we got more Street Fighter SHFs too. I really need to find a list of good LC/SHF scale Street Fighter posable figures.

They're all about 6", right?

oh yeah Chun Li she do deserve to be a possible figure because is my favorite female charater.

SHFs are about 6" even, whereas LC figures are closer to 6 1/2"

At least Crimson Hawk's different. The overuse of MMPR turned me away. Looks like I'm back for now. Hate to be that guy but can we get like they're playing too safe. They know MMPR sells but like damn I'm sure people love Lightspeed Rescue, Jungle Fury, or RPM or hell even Operation Overdrive (Boukenger�� )

Yeah what boggles my mind is there are so many slam dunk designs—especially sixth rangers—in PR/SS in general, that Hasbro could be killing it just by making decent figures of them. I kind of hope that the slow trickle now means in the background they’re busy readying full teams for bigger drops or even the start of BaF waves for LC… but I’m sadly leaning more toward them just “toe dipping” still and not being willing to commit fully to articulated collector focused PR figures…

I most certainly do not want Build-a-Figures added to the LC line, since that'd just be taking away even more budget from what little this line already gets.

I just dislike the way BAFs are packed into the boxes and just make the box look weird. To outsiders, it looks like you got a broken figure!

they don't need a BAF in Lightning Collection it dose not make sense right.

Ryu is unexpected, but cool! But man, these figures really aren't worth the price Hasbro's asking for lately.

I still want a (good) Chun-Li though.

The price does sting, but he at least has a real nice array of effect parts to make up for it. Definitely feels more worth it than Shredder. Does surprise me he doesn't have an unhelmeted alternate face though, but perhaps that would have cost more Capcom tax...

Chun-Li

Looks like they used the upper half of the Dino Charge Pink body and the bottom half of the standard male body. It's not optimal, but it works.

Is DC Pink's body new? I vaguely remember realising this at the time but I forgot the changes

It is. Slightly better proportions and better articulation. Primarily in the arms.
