Hasbro knows there is definitely interest, but obviously has to tread carefully and not make the same mistakes which Bandai America did.
While I don't collect Power Rangers toys myself, am I correct in assuming a lot of Power Rangers collectors are more interested in the characters from "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and the earlier shows (given the childhood nostalgia), as opposed to the more recent shows (e.g. Beast Morphers)?
Perhaps the good thing about having fewer figures per wave is that you guys won't have to fork out an arm and leg every time a new wave is released (trust me, I collect Marvel Legends and it hurts my wallet with the avalanche of figures that are released each year). On the downside though, it also means you have to be patient for their favorite characters to be released.

Hasbro does concentrate on Marvel Legends, Transformers and Star Wars because it'$ their BIG 3 and their CA$H COW their Bread and Butter!! They are fairly new to the game so they have to be careful and not make the same mistakes as Bandai but that new Dino Charge Gold Ranger is NOT GOLD!! Besides that Hasbro has been killing it and I love all the selections they are making from MMPR to Beast Morphers but the classics are my favorite of course. The reason for 3 figures for the future wave might be due to the price increase next year and this way the blow will be less on the wallet. Hopefully we will get more Exclusive figs from EB Games in the coming months or next year!
