If someone wants the full team, they can get the whole team in one shot without worrying if the entire team is going to come out or not.

I would gladly pay $200 for an entire team pack just like I did with the Shikenger pack Bluefin released last year. In fact, that was the main reason I bought the pack, I got all of the rangers I needed in one go.

I think the problem with that is that not everyone can devote that kind of money to toys in one go. Releasing them spread out means you're just spending 4,000 yen for each release every now and then. Where as a full team pack would be a significant fraction of a lot of peoples paycheck. And that's ignoring the fact most people are also collecting Kamen Riders, Precure, MonsterArts and whatever else Bandai are also releasing each month.

I'd like to at least see a more consistent release pattern. Keep reds as regular release, the next month can be another two rangers from that team in a double pack and the month after that can be the final two members, followed by the sixth if the season has one. That would at least get them out pretty quickly and we'd know right away we're getting the full team.

The problem is that it still doesn't make sense for Bandai. We got a double pack with Bouken Blue and Black and we'd seen the prototypes for Yellow and Pink long before that, but they were never released, most likely due to bad sales of Blue and Black. There's not much incentive for them to release more if no one is buying them.
