As an avid train enthusiast as well as PR/SS fan, I think this this may be the time I finally take the plunge into the Super Sentai toy line after I've been teetering on it for 4+ years. SO HYPED!

Trust me, once you go Sentai, it's difficult to look at Power Rangers the same way. (BUT I TRY!)

Unless Saban decides to give us a wonderful season like RPM, Dino Thunder, RPM.. Jungle Fury. You know what? Unless Saban decides to be Disney, basically.

You forgot to mention RPM...

But yeah, pretty much. Disney was the best thing to happen to Power Rangers (from a story/budget perspective), yet for some odd reason PR is more popular when Saban is at the helm.
Disney Marketing has never been great when it comes to anything live action unless Johnny Depp or Tim Burton are involved so I don't blame them for squandering the potential of the Rangers.

I don't plan on giving up my love for Power Rangers any time soon.

Or they could give us average to poor seasons like Ninja Storm, SPD, Operation Overdrive, Mystic Force or (in my opinion anyway) Jungle Fury.

It works both ways for both Saban and Disney.

The first one I mentioned was RPM

Oh, the Marketing was GODAWEFUL. You couldn't find the toys anywhere unless you lived in a major market somewhere, because they swore the toys didn't sell. Yea they dont sell if you dont sell them!
But more often than not we got direct imports of Megazords, which was nice.
The seasons themselves were just better. More story driven. More original stories and not straight adaptations, and they only gave us an universally reviled and unwatchable season once. Which isn't a bad track record.

However, I now demand that #1 is Blue, #3 is Green, #5 is Red, and #6 is a different shade of green.

Then again, TTTE never had a Yellow or Pink locomotive during the Model era.

Here's hoping for a DD51 Euroliner at some point!

There was Rosie who was pink and Mollie was yellow, neither are numbered though.

The Megazords for RPM weren't direct imports. If only they were.

No, but by that time Disney stopped caring more than they had already. But back on topic!

If the Sixth/Other doesn't have a Train Whistle and one of those faunty caps Engineers wear? I'm ragequitting.
