With the whole BOA vs BOJ debate, I think it just boils down to "you get what you paid for". While BOA are definitely not as great quality wise, you pretty much are paying a quarter of what you pay for BOJ stuff after shipping. Especially as PR stuff is always on sale at TRU.

For people who want to collect teh BOA keys, more power to them. But it saddens me they have to buy a bunch of duplicates and another morpher just to do that.

And I'm just sat here thinking "wow, the original release morpher isn't even out here yet"

I honestly wouldn't mind buying this since I've held off on buying the morpher (which is hard to find in my area, and I haven't seen any of the key 3-packs). Yes, the BoJ version would be leaps and bounds better but I already have some of the keys from buying the zords (with Super Megaforce Red being the only duplicate, and even then it's a clear variant).

If I saw this pack on sale, it'd be tempting to try to collect the BoA keys and morpher. I've been good and fought off the urge to buy the morpher & get more keys so far...

At the point you have to pay $80 for a Legendary Morpher just to get a few keys you may not have, plus a bunch of duplicates, I honestly don't know why someone wouldn't just get a DX Mobirate. At these prices you could easily get one and a number of the cheap BOJ keys packs which sell for mere dollars.
People always make the argument that the relatively lower price of BOA toys makes them "better" than their original counterparts. In this instance that argument falls flat and the BOJ release is a better toy. So I just don't get it.

I get that. But by the time you pay $80 for this set you could have easily gotten the better toy in the Mobirate for about the same price or less and picked up extra keys. The price vs quality thing doesn't pan out in this case. That's all I'm trying to say.

I only have red and green from this set. So I guess this could be cool, on sale.

This set isn't really a set sold under for collector's point of a view, but for the kids. This set reads ultimate xmas or bday gift all over. It was never aimed at making us collector's happy. A three pack of keys ranges from $8 to $9, for just three. This one has a whole bunch and the morpher. Also, these will shelfwarm at places and be discounted.
