As someone who knows very little of what Power Rangers represents nowadays, is there some kind of definitive thread someone could point me towards with all the Toei/Hasbro gossip? Whilst watching this, it really struck me how much money was being sunk into this, and I can't help but wonder if the collectors' market for such toys is really that healthy that Hasbro wants a bigger slice rather than licensing the Bandai toys.

tl;dr I just want to hear the gossip about this situation. x o x o*

* this mid-'00s television reference probably has not aged well.

Well, their Lightning Collection seems to be profitable, given on what wave we're right now. And when it comes to the Zord, they hardly can do worse than Bandai right now. Saying Sentai is doing badly is an understatement, it's straight-up dying, with Rysoulger, Dino Furys counterpart one of the worst-selling seasons ever, together with Kiramaiger and Timeranger. Not following Bandai's lead here is the only winning move honestly.
