It would be cool to see more seasons get exclusives, but it just won't sell as much as MMPR.

Figuarts aren't Bandai of America exclusives, they're Bluefin exclusives. It's sales literally have no relation to the BOA exclusives or what they may be whatsoever.

At least this is one year that I can pass on SDCC exclusives from the looks of it, which is fine by me. Gives me more cash to spend at TFCon this year.

That is pretty cool. I'd be way more into it if the Dino Chargers weren't such a boring toy concept. I had pens that did the same trick in elementary school.

That right there. That is way I dont care for this set. Yes its MMPR, but its not the only other Dino season. We have Dino Thunder (which is 10x better than MMPR in my opinion), put those five in with this set? Id be trying to get this set. But no, thye go and use the 7 who always sell. Get for next years SDCC where we get MMPR SUPER Chargers, you know, this same set, but in golden and metallic colors.

Pretty dope.

*sigh*

I just don't get how you can have a franchise like Transformers or TMNT, where at the very least, they acknowledge the existence of other things outside of their original series, but here with Power Rangers, it's like the only season that really gets any love is the current season + Mighty Morphin'.

Even if it were true that the other stuff is not as profitable, this is friggin' Power Rangers you're talking about. It's a damn financial powerhouse franchise you have here. You're GOING to sell stuff from the other seasons quite easily, depending on how well the execution is. I don't think there's a single diehard Power Rangers fan that ONLY cares about Mighty Morphin' and nothing else.

I meant in general. It's sad that it didn't seem to sell very well which in the long term could hurt other Power Ranger exclusives.

Things that make me laugh.

FANS: We want more Power Rangers Figuarts!
BLUEFIN: We hear you! Check out this exclusive Power Rangers Super Samurai set - the only time these figures have EVER been offered to any type of mass retail ever, and with metallic finish, ALL their weapons, in this cool box!
FANS: WTF $200 screw that noise no thanks
BLUEFIN: But...but you wanted...?
FANS: METALLIC FINISH SUCKS YOU'VE STATED WHY YOU CAN'T RELEASE THE NORMAL VERSION BUT WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE YOU AND DEMAND THE NORMAL VERSION!!!!

*Samurai SDCC sets still available to this day*

FANS: Why don't they make more Power Rangers Figuarts?
BLUEFIN: -_-

Even more hilarious that the set got down to about $50 one time and it STILL didnt sell out.
