Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

I hope that Andros doesn't make it here either. We don't need it peg warming and retailers having more reasons to not stock figures

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

That's a fair point. I know of Walmarts in Toronto that have had W9 in stock for a long while, but didnt put it out because W8 is still all over the pegs, especially Spd Pink and DT Blue. At 34 bucks, I get why they arent selling.

That's what I kind of see the for the future of this line. Once the popular teams are done, that will be it. It's really hard to pay that price for Rangers that you have little or no attachment to. Hasbro should have really thought over raising the price of the Lightning Collection figures. Power Rangers is nowhere near the popularity of Transformers, Marvel or Star Wars.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

The MMPRs will be back full-swing with re-releases (I'm certain) in 2023 (which is the 30th anniversary of MMPR).



As far as the 'waves' go, we're getting 3 waves per year at this point. 3 mass retail waves = 12 figures. The rest are all Exclusives, or multi-packs.

The hardcore PR fans/Super Sentai fans will continue buying past the popular teams but the line will probably see a decline in sales.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Found an ebay seller in Japan that had all the Pulsecon exclusives except Pudgy Pig. I'm really concerned now.

Not Lightning related, but Wave 2 of the Retro flipheads are hitting GTA Wal-marts.

This was in Richmond Hill today.


Green seemed short-packed.

It will probably be the same scenario as obtaining Drakon Evo 3, last year.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Last year's Con exclusive, only released in Canada at EB;
https://hasbropulse.com/products/pow...-action-figure

For a while, it went as high as $200 in the aftermarket. Now you could get it for half that, but still overpriced.

Pudgy Pig will likely have a similar release model from Gamestop/EB.

I know that. I just thought there was a problem with drakkon's release last year that could also effect pudgy pig's release.
