I don't take your post as insulting, the existence of this pack is still just really infuriating to me. For me at least it isn't about it being retro or newer. It's just about taking up 5 slots that could have been used for truly unique releases. Kind of like how the PMC 2-pack knocked out two keys that won't make their way to retail. Whereas the"tommy" pack is just 5 keys everybody could already own.

When I say retro I'm refering to these guys:

The thing is that all 5 of those keys also exist already in previously released retail sets. And MMPR black is a triple dip as theres already a con exclusive repaint of him. While that set would admittedly be way more cool than the one we're getting, it would still be kind of pointless with that selection.

I'd rather a convention exclusive be something like this Tommy pack instead of a thing you can't get anywhere else. The packaging makes them cool.

But even then, they usually go and make them different somehow. New paint or detailing, something other than a new box.

These are exactly the same as the retail releases. Nothing new whatsoever. No new paint jobs, nothing.

You know what would've been a way cooler 5-pack? The SPD A-Team Rangers, because there's no other way we'd get them.

Battlizer Keys. I'd kill to see those made.

I'm not really sure how heavily armored forms would look if all their armor was just painted on. They'd loose some of their more powerful appearance and look squished down, kinda like BoJ's Red Wolkaiser key, but more so.

I want the next trend from Tommy loving to Tommy hating to be Tommy indifference. As a person that loved the character as a child to a grown man that sees almost a 50/50 split between love and hate. I don't know what to think.

Sometimes I see or hear good things about him with fans . Sometimes I hear horror stories. Then I see him in affliction shirts , butchering the English language and spending 24-7 on Facebook. And I then start to judge him for being a douche. But he doesn't hate on the franchise that keeps a roof over his head...

Sometimes I wish my favorite Ranger was Trini. Everyone respects Trini.

Actually Kira was skipped from the Dino Thunder key pack in favor of guess who? But she should be getting a release in that 20 key and Morpher set soon.

Although I wouldnt mind actually getting the Morphin Madness set as an exclusive, even if it still had a Tommy key in it.

Yes but these are, aside from maybe some shinier paint, the exact same thing as retail. If Bandai is too cheap to make new keys for retail, then make them like this exclusive set instead of releasing the same shit over and over again.
