If Tamashii did made-to-order figures, they would get a ton of my money. I only collect the red and black rangers, so every red and black ranger would be bought by me. Could get dangerous. I would also consider getting the blue rangers if this happened.

Maybe this is the way to boost sales?

You have to wonder if Sentai sells badly because of incomplete teams, or if there are incomplete teams because it sells badly? It all seems like a very cycular motion.

"Catch-22" is the term you're looking for.

Thank you! The word escaped me.

Got my MMPR Blue Ranger in today and for some reason the left lower forearm was assembled backwards. It was an easy fix but weird. I really wish the lance was longer and that he came with the other versions of the Blade Blaster but otherwise I can't complain.

Because paying $20 more from a US seller is worth it to me than paying some Japanese company I don't even know, who also probably does not offer exchanges if something is broken.

My Tricera was mailed out today from Amazon. Now I'm just waiting for NY to ship out Tiger.

They are I believe. I was more getting at surely there's an estimated quota TWE releases are expecting to fill to be deemed a success. It's a pretty big stab in the dark to do it for an expensive set of figures that haven't shown promising sales elsewhere.
