If you only collect LC it's possible to complete teams but if you collect more than one line then that's where the issues come in.
Eh. It's no big deal.

I have the MMPR team, and ultimately that's really the only team that should be completed. It holds the most weight in pop culture.

When it comes to the multitude of other ranger incarnations, it's all about just selecting the characters (or suits) that you personally liked... that would look good on a shelf. Otherwise you'll be sinking tens of thousands to get every single ranger out there. Not worth it.


Hasbro is likely relying on the OCD of some completionists with this line, and that makes sense... it's a winning strategy that seems to work.

How I look at it is that Lightning Collection was an affordable alternative to S.H.Figuarts Sentai figures. If they aren't affordable anymore, I'll just stop buying them.
With the seemingly revival of the Super Sentai Figuarts line we might as well wait for those at this point cause they'll probably be around the same price as the average LC figure. You're right, the appeal of the LC line was affordability with completing teams and on screen accuracy. Though with how the accuracy is always hit or miss and collecting whole teams for an affordable price is no longer in the picture, the line kind of just loses most of, if not all of its appeal.

Its $48, shipped and sold by Amazon.

On a side note, Dino Charge Black is $17 in-cart

Wow... I'm really hoping other retailers don't follow suit, but I'm afraid they probably will very soon. TRU seems to get the price hikes first then the rest of the retailers follow suit shortly after.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

So I got charged for one of my wave 10 figures from GameStop, but no shipping notice yet. I'm gonna assume it's phantom ranger since Zeo Yellow has another ETA change on the site. So close to finishing the team dammit.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

That's great news.

I have Phantom Ranger on pre-order on Amazon. It was supposed to drop tonight, we'll see if it actually happens or gets pushed.

Phantoms the only one I want from this wave. At basically 40 dollars a piece, way too pricey to get all of them this time.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Alright guys.

Half of Wave 10 is supposedly available (in stock) on Amazon. Supposedly my Phantom Ranger will arrive by Wednesday. We'll see if this pans out.

Same with GameStop, with In Space Pink and Zeo Yellow shoved to the end of January. Hoping my preorders show up this week.

I'm hoping Eye Guy will be in stock soon. Plus, I hope to purchase Phantom Ranger with him to save shipping.
