Master Morpher should have Green, White, Red Zeo, Red Turbo, Black Dino Thunder Ranger coins.

I feel like my future strategy will be if I can walk into a store, and pick it up off a shelf, I’ll buy it. Just not going to do all this work of checking sites daily to see if preorders go up and then having to check the preorders daily to see if they get cancelled or delayed. I still want plenty of stuff from the line, but I’m going to slide into neutral and be passive about it.

I’ve got my Mighty Morphin nostalgia fix, so its time to breath easy. If Hasbro hates money, that’s fine. They can keep having the worst distribution imaginable and the most idiotic case ratios they can come up with and I’ll keep my money away from them, but if they decide they do like money I’ll happily pick up figures from here on out if they’re in stores or actually in stock for retail on Amazon. I’d love to complete a few more teams and support this line well into the future, but as a collector I’ve already had to put in way too much effort in getting some of these figures. Now it’s Hasbro’s turn.

I have adopted this way of thinking in regards to this line, it's trully been and is still a pain, All I wanted was Mighty Morphin, and I have had such small luck, it took me forever to find Jason and Kimberly, No zack ever (but I'm waiting for a non-dragon sheild), no Trini, No Billy, it is just tragic, the Only 2 figures I could find with any ease was Zedd and Tommy (White), green ranger 2 pack was eluding me for a while. If I could just complete the MM crew I'd be happy but I'm exhausted searching high and low, It really shouldn't be so hard

I haven't had any issue getting these figures from Amazon. Just getting the Mighty Morphin ones, but the 4 i have pre-ordered from them all came in.

Can't argue with you guys! I too had trouble finding my MMPR and yes you are right, it shouldn't be this much of a challenge to find and collect this line! I have been jumping hoops just to get what I can from this line and I have been disappointed too many times, canceled and also messed with in store and online just to find one or two figures. Come on Hasbro, be easy on us!! I even bought from a total stranger on Instagram just to get MMPR Pink, it was a chance that could have went horribly wrong and I was lucky that everything was fine and the transaction was successful.

One pack that totally eluded me was the SDCC Jason 2 pack with the Armored Red Ranger with Gold Zeo! Has anyone on this forum got them and how? Where? And was it in person at the con like San Diego in the States or Fan Expo in Toronto, Canada or were you lucky to find some extras from EB Games?

I got my Jason 2 pack set during a short pre-order window they had on Hasbro pulse after SDCC.

i got mine at fan expo since i go there every year anyway

I saw the SDCC 2 pack on Kijiji. Once. For $150. Opened. Nope to the nope nope.

Lucked out and found someone on Facebook in my area getting rid of their entire collection and got the Lost Galaxy/Psycho Red 2 pack from them for $20 loose. That felt like a gift from the Universe.

Been feeling this burn with Hasbro in general lately.

Either preorder from amazon with 1% success rate, or pay the equivalent of 40-50 per figure via third party or from the US. Honestly it's been easier to import stuff from Japan than buy domestic lately.

There's maybe 5 minute window when this stuff is actually in stock and available for retail.

An effort, but with a decent pay off.
