The Dino Charge Black Ranger was a phantom drop at every retailer though. No one knew it was coming until people found it on shelves. Where as Red Sentry has been up for PO on Pulse and Target but no Canadian retailers.

Canucktibles has Black Ranger in stock, and even at old price, for those who have been having trouble finding this figure here.

It's really disappointing that Wave 9 never hit Canada, specifically Ontario.

Its been out for like 3 months now.

Not a good sign for future PR LC releases in Canada.

BBTS has images up of the Turtle Rangers (not sure if there was an official reveal somewhere else).

I'll pass on these.

For 55$ USD, these are a ripoff.

Good figures, but definitely not worth that price.

That's about $70 Canadian plus tax...


Hasbro 2-packs were previously in the 50s range for Canadian dollars at most.

Not a good sign indeed. Especially how less and less stores are carrying Power Rangers products. One of the Walmart's in my area has completely stopped selling LC and the children's main line. My TRU went from having half a wall of shelf space in 2017 for PR to no longer selling main line toys and only having one small shelf with Lightning Collection that is shared with the GI Joe classified. It's so sad. We still could see Wave 9 in stores by the end of the month but who knows really. Maybe it's just my area/region that sucks. I'm not sure how logistics works but it seems like the further you go north, the more the shelves are stacked with Hasbro product. I've yet to see anyone in Barrie, New Market or any of those areas complain about not being able to find anything.

FYI - some of the Walmart locations have already adjusted the price of the lightning collection to $33.97. I guess eventually all locations will reflect this new price point in the future.

Yea I want that Tenga. Wave 8 hit in what late may? I’m sure we will get some here. My Walmart still stocks PR stuff but not much. Wave 8 is peg warming up my way.

If I see tenga I’ll post it asap

If you see anything from W9, post it up.

I'm wondering whether the W8 pegwarming has to do with the W9 delay.


Anecedotal evidence but every Wal-mart I've been to in Markham and Scarborough is overloaded with Syds, Ethans, and Leos that no one is buying. Same at EBs.



Also, the Michaelangelo/April two-pack is up, if anyone wants a 5th MMPR Pink re-release.

Wave 8 has been peg warming at my local WM's. So WM is already starting to increase the prices in store to $33.97? I was afraid that would happen eventually. I was able to still justify buying into the line with being able to find the figures at WM for less than MSRP. But now with the nearly $10 price increase I don't know if I can, not with the issues and problems the line still has. I guess I'm forced to be super selective going forward now. Another thing that worries me is if waves are peg warming currently at the $24.97 price tag at WM, then it's probably going to be even worse at the $33.98 price tag. Especially when stores that already adopted the new price like EB and TRU are shelf warming. It makes me wonder how LC will survive in physical retail and to be honest, I don't think it will. It's too niche and at the new price point it's more than most people want to spend. PR isn't TF, Star Wars, Marvel, Gi Joe, or He-Man where people are gonna be buying unconditionally.
