Kind of curious on the measurements of the new locking system.

Didn't say Hasbro was involved. Said it's not surprising with new abroad owners. Dinosaurs are typically the go to for new eras on that. It's an accidental tradition since Aba. Zyu to Saban, Aba to Disney, Dinocharge to neo-Saban, now this when hasbro is involved. Where Kre-O performed very well in asian territories. And now we have a seeming 4 peg locking system. Really don't think that's a coincidence. Let alone, the fact it's "Knights" directly, where Hasbro has Space Knights, turned Transformers into knights, had Dinobots that were knight steeds...

Bandai Japan is the one that cares about domestic sales. Toei cares about licensing. Two different things. Toei does care about Hasbro because abroad licensing is money in their pocket. The system is a little more complicated than what you seem to think it is. Revenue sources are a more scattered thing per area. Toei makes bank off of the various abroad markets too. That's why they global outreach their properties.

Won't be the last Sentai either. Though they may take a break for a year depending on factors. But they're still prepping other material for later.

I think people need to cool their jets a bit on overreactions. Lets wait and see how the material does. This was the last batch of other material. Newer material is still on the way after it. But certain outlets and areas did need the design rest for a bit for other things to get restructured first.

With literally the 50th of sentai around the corner, the 30th for Zyu, let's not start this entire "The sky is falling, the sky is falling, everything sucks!" shtick. It's not healthy.
