Yeah, 3 of the 4 that I preordered are cancelled. I have a feeling yellow might be a bust.

I am officially finished with this line. I cannot understand how Hasbro has messed up the distribution of their core line up. More money for...Hasbro I guess.

Last time we spoke you told me you wanted to collect Mighty Morphin for the Lightning Collection. How is the search and I wish you the best of luck to get them all. By the way do you thing Hasbro will make another Black Ranger without shield?

They'd be silly not to release another black ranger as it's an easy figure to reproduce since they have all the sculpts. Hasbro just needs to add something that'll make us want to buy it - as in a new head sculpt (doubt another zach) or an exclusive weapon. I say this because a lot of people just customized theirs and removed the shield, sanded down the arm bands and painted them black.

I helped out a fellow collector with the Armored Black Ranger and he made it into a Mastodon Sentry with the helmet. Maybe Hasbro will make another release of the MMPR Black Ranger without shield but this time with an Adam mold head sculp. Just like how they made new head sculp for Zeo Gold as Trey of Triforia instead of Jaaon again.

so far so good. just need trini. just getting the core team so im not too hot to get drakkon or ranger slayer. might skip on rita too. not too fond of the cloth and dont like spending for another zedd. maybe if the price goes down ill backtrack. not sure. really cutting back on figures...find them too expensive now

some people just got an extra shadow ranger and just swap out the arms to make a normal black ranger. got that tip from another board member. ill probably do that since i dont like tracking down figures so much

Cool idea, I never thought of that! Most of the figures are the same body so it is possible, thanks for sharing

I know what you mean and how Hasbro and Retailers distribute the waves makes it difficult and a real hassle to collect. Plus the rising cost of figures do add up
