I know I haven't bought any releases from the Legacy line (besides SDCC MMPR Red) because I simply can't find the figures. Past the initial release of these figures, every time I walk into a Target or Wal-Mart, I only ever see MMPR White, MMPR Yellow, In Space Yellow and maybe Ninja Storm Blue.


Bandai gets the impression that we simply don't want to buy female action figures, when that's not the case (the Marvel Legends line is a testament to that). We just don't want to buy a specific Ranger and then not be able to complete the rest of the team. I mean, I don't know why it's mainly the female figures pegwarming, but I figure it has more to do with poor case assortment + distribution versus female characters not selling. Especially since, from my understanding, the 6.5" Legacy line is supposed to be aimed at adult collectors (hence the emphasis on older series versus newer ones), and collectors don't care about gender.

Maybe it's the way the waves are set up. Teams are split up amongst two waves, which isn't necessarily a terrible idea. But the issue is that with no guarantee that there will even be room for the next wave (and thus the remaining members of a particular team), people get weary about buying what's already there.
