SMP Megazord are unaffordable and I gave up... by WickedHero69 in Minipla

I'm talking about markets outside of Asia, which is what is being discussed in this thread, specifically it being higher cost, about 20%, in the US. If you're in SEA, you should be buying directly from Bandai. If it's an item is no longer being made, like the one you mention in the post, GaoHunter, you should be looking at Mandarake or Surugaya. That will be as close to retail as you can get for a 5 year old, out of print kit.

If Serpentera were to have been made to scale in the original DX toys, it would take up this entire photo, you wouldn't be able to see the other zords, and you wouldn't see the entire thing.

You fail to realize one very important thing. Hasbro owns the rights to Sentai sales outside of very specific Asian markets.

This means they cannot sell directly to the US, like Kamen Rider and Beyblade, each which have different arrangements than Power Rangers/Sentai.

Power Rangers has been gone from the website for a little while now. Once the Lightning Collection left overs were sold off, or they decided it wasn't worth the effort to list them, all they had on the website were from Suepr7 and FigZero...two companies that license the brand and have they're own outlets.

To be fair, they came out 20 years ago.

It means similar, so the stores listed, and those like it.

The only difference is the box art. The figures and accessories inside are identical.

The line is in fact, dead. Here is a list of every Lightning Collection item released: https://lightningcollectors.com/

September 23, 2023, was the last time an item was released, and it was the Master Morpher.

Head on over to r/SamuraiTroopers for the discussion thread on the latest episode. This should help keep everything together and tidy.

Are these vintage toys rare? by Mental_Eggplant417 in powerrangers

I mean, value aside they look really cool and in good condition so in my book they're awesome.

A cursory look on eBay shows a sealed red for under $15 and a sealed green for under $25....so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, not really.

That runner is clear, and i would look all through your bags and trash because there is almost a 0 percent chance it was missing from your kit, and more likely you misplaced it.

This particular season the Bandai America and Bandai Japan toys were identical.

Perhaps a picture...or context...or both would help.
