Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Yup. Through the same means in which I PM'd you about.

It's a great one. Very striking packaging.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

They should have just done the Metallic Rangers in an exclusive 5 pack. It would make the most sense. I don't understand Hasbro. Doing a 5 pack for the metallic rangers makes more sense than the Psycho 5 pack because they are a variant only die hards would buy. Yet they decide to do a Metallic version of Kat as a single packaged exclusive. I bet you they'll do a 5 pack and make it an exclusive next year and screw everyone over.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Well theoretically, it would have to be a 6-pack, because of White Ranger. It would also require new civilian heads for Billy, Rocky and Aisha.

All in all, that would be a very expensive endeavor. Especially since Metallic translucent figures by Hasbro tend to be priced higher than the normal ones. Look at the Carbonized SW figures.

Hasbro is more than likely to knock out the Metallics one by one for now, in order to keep MMPR in the line, as MMPR sells.


A more likely, inevitable 5-pack is A-Squad. All it requires is the male mold and the female mold. All the weapons are the same. No civilian heads involved.

It would be more cost-effective to produce than the Psychos.

Sweet! Hopefully EB does preorders for these as well, though if it’s soon I’ll have to go through a different store than my usual. Mine is in a mall, and no curb side. Given that Ontario’s last ‘2 week’ lockdown lasted almost three months I’m not chancing that this one upcoming ‘28 day’ one is going to go as planned. Not to much hassle, but I feel bad if I have to get something from a different EB. It’s like plastic infidelity, lol.

The lock downs never go as planned. I don't see how it's infidelity. Money all goes to the same place anyway.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

I just saw this today at a WM in Richmond Hill. I know collectors are still hunting for the MMPR Black Ranger but to see this on the shelf is really disappointing.

It's really sad that a grown adult did this just to save $32. What a despicable human being.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Haha. I've seen that kind of thing at the majority of York Region Wal-marts.

There's clearly a specific group of dudes that do this and target multiple locations.

Lest we forget the Samuel L Jackson Black Ranger figure.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

At least Sam Jackson Swapper made an effort. This guy made zero effort. Not even trying at all. Most low effort swap I've ever seen. This doesn't surprise me. A lot of douche bags in this community that would stoop this low. Yeah it's pathetic and sad.
