I doubt it. Hibiki's core was the development of its central characters and the amazing outdoor locations. Go-Busters doesn't have anything that really sets it apart aside from costume fabric - the characters and plots are all pretty stock Sentai.

For me, Gobusters failed because Toei made the mistake of making Gekiranger, a Sentai so good it's made the others look bad.

It's alright. There's one in mine to Gosei Knight. And maybe Alata. Not admitting anything.

I actually do have a shrine of Kamen Rider Fourze in my closet. All the mini posters I've accumulated from a guy I buy from all ended up there for some reason.

Everyone should have a shrine to Fourze

People seem to be focusing on their own reasons why they dislike the show. While it's not my favorite Sentai, it's far from bad.

I think what really did it for the kids was that the series WANTED to be darker, but was afraid to really go for it, so it got stuck in a bit of a darkness purgatory. It was darker than some kids would have liked, but it didn't embrace it, so it felt kind of wimpy, not compelling, that sort of thing.

I can get behind this. I like it, but you can't be dark and have Buddyroids at the same time. If the feel of the show was more Go-onger with Buddyroids it might have worked more.

Yeah, the sounds about right to me. Nicely put Edag88.
