If they sold that well, Bandai would be taking advantage of the situation as much as possible. Just look at Kamen Rider, which DOES sell well and has several releases every month, most of which are regular releases and not exclusives. They tried making Sentai teams regular releases with Gokaiger and they did so badly they were discounted within weeks, they had to still make Yellow and Pink exclusives and that was with the currently airing team and by including loads of accessories and pre-order bonuses. What more can they do?

The Zyurangers have been hugely successful in the US because of MMPR and they seem to have even done reasonably well in Japan (yeah, the Japanese love Zyuranger, contrary to popular belief) but where do they go from there? The nostalgia fanboys only want MMPR and even Jetman didn't seem to particularly excite the Japanese.

Tamashii Nations is next month, so hopefully we see something happen there. Kyoryuger seems to have done pretty well, so I do hope we see the rest of that team, but these events typically don't even bother showing Sentai stuff due to the lack of interest. At best, I'm expecting to see ToQ-1. Everything else will be Rider, Godzilla, Sailor Moon, Precure and apparently, the MK.42 Iron Man (i.e. things that sell).
