Here are the pre-orders for the EB Games Pink Capsule Exclusives ��
Pre-orders in stores will not work because the system needs time to set up and probably tomorrow you can pre-order over the phone

Oh boy.

A lot to unpack here..


So Wave 9 should be arriving in Ontario in about 2 weeks. The Tenga is definitely worth getting from that wave.


The Pink Power Month items were all terrible;

- They know ocd completionists will want Zeo Pink, so they intentionally packaged the figure with an MMPR re-release.

- I'd recommend getting Metallic MMPR Pink before it's gone forever, because the face portraits for the new Kat figures are... dreadful. Not as ugly as Kimberly's portrait, but really unflattering nevertheless:



- Cell-shaded MMPR Rangers... another MMPR repaint. You know they're going to do all 7 in this manner.

- What the heck is with the Pink morpher? It's just the MMPR morpher re-released.. painted pink... with female voice sounds.


I get that most toylines have to do the cashgrab tactics to stay afloat, but this was rather shameless.


I did like the announcement of a Zeo Cog two-pack coming however.

The cell shaded rangers look to have the blasters in blade form for the belts......that's so annoying lol

3 years into this line and hasbro is still doing shameless tactics. The sad part is you still have Hasbro apologists trying to defend them using played out excuses. I'm getting rather fed up with Hasbro and how they're handling this line. We only have one team completed (MMPR) yet they are trying to sell it to us 4 times!. The original release, the metallic release, the new comic release and the 2-pack releases which have the season 2 cast packed with another figure like the Pink 2-pack and Yellow/Scorpina pack.

Don't forget the MMPR Turtles Line

Which will give us another MMPR Pink, with April O'Neil head.

I think the Kimberly Pink Ranger is getting a re-print too.

[Ksteel]

It's getting a re-stock, yeah. But the same figure, with the horrid Kim face portrait.

I can't believe people were paying over a 100 for the figure in the aftermarket, schmucks!

Wow AND they are re-issuing Kim? I guess the excuse that they're using the 2-packs as a way to re-release figures people missed out that apologists use is out the window. Lightning Collection is one of the most anti-consumer toy lines I've ever seen.

Honestly, most of the Hasbro lines use these tactics. Adult collectors are, like I said earlier, a niche market of Gen X-ers and Millenials with disposable income to blow. Hasbro knows this.


On a positive note. This is a 2pack definitely worth getting;


I sold off Blue Astronema, knowing this release was coming.

Ecliptor looks amazing! Insta-buy, even if it's priced like the new MCU sets.
