My wallet is hoping the ultimates are bad. Though if it’s successful, do they do a massive command center?with the success of castle gray skull and snake mountain from MOTU that seems like a possibility

Zedd and Rita is on sale today on GameStop's site for 30% off. It was available a few hours ago. Genuinely shocked they’re doing Ultimates. They’re competing with Hasbro and they’ll be double the price. I guess we’ll see. I’ll probably buy Tommy because reasons, but I can’t imagine people who have spent the last two years on Lightning are lining up to buy more of the same. Especially since most of those people bought Bandai versions and turned around and bought Lightning to replace it. Interesting. It is interesting. I wonder what they're going to include to make them ultimate versions. With Masters of the Universe Classics and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there are lots of weapons and heads and such you can put in. With MMPR, there are fewer relevant inclusions beyond what Hasbro has done (although I admit I'm not a die-hard Power Rangers follower, so I could be wrong). One thing is pretty sure, and that's the price, so 45 versus 20 will be hard to justify if Super7 doesn't bring it. I wish them luck, though. Hopefully they're worth it. |

Was Castle Grayskull offered like a HasLab project, where you had to back it, or did they just put it up for pre order? |

I didn’t see at the beginning, but I’m guessing super 7 did pre-orders and a few online retailers had them in order as well for those that missed the pre-order window going by how they’ve done the other ultimates. |

I think the way it works for online retailers is that they’ll offer a preorder on their site, then they put in a preorder for you with Super 7. Then they probably order some extra stock, as they likely get a wholesale price. I preordered my Super 7 Turtles figures through a different online retailer and the price was the same but my wave 2 just shipped yesterday. So I’m guessing the delay was they got their shipments from Super 7, then had to ship the preorders they had |

I got Mega Construx Castle Grayskull for $120 and the recent exclusive Mandalorian for $22 from Amazon Warehouse. Both definitely had damaged boxes, but all contents were 100% fine. |

It’s hard for me to get excited for ANOTHER line centered on MMPR. I get it business-wise, I understand the reasoning, but I just can’t get excited about it. I just want Time Force and RPM Rangers from one of these lines.

First company to make good 6 inch movie ninja rangers gets all my money.
I'd also like newer movie figures with the unmasked heads. I want a Naomi Scott Kimberly.

I’ve been waiting for good 6” movie figures since 1995. Until a few years ago, it was thought that Bandai couldn’t make them since the movie rights were owned by FOX but they surprised us with those 5” figures. Not sure how the rights will work out now that Disney owns FOX but hopefully Hasbro can get them done. |

Got my Tommy today. Cannot for the life of me get the unmasked head on. Put glad to have it.
Side note: why is the black ranger so expensive? I've got the rest of them at retail or lower and this mf is $40 plus every day.

Maybe that's a more popular opinion than I realized. |

Friday is another Power Rangers fan fest on Pulse. Mostly to promote the new Dino Fury show and toyline. Hopefully some Lightning Collection news comes out as well.

Another set, still no Time Force Pink. The Black In Space ranger looks great though.

Ordered the whole wave and a few extra Tenga's. The new way they're doing the faces/headsculpts are a great improvement.

I hope we get Scorpina and Pudgy Pig before I die. The guy from Super 7 kinda hinted at a Pudgy Pig in their line. He was talking about how we probably won’t get some of the more obscure monsters in other lines, and he was throwing out Pudgy Pig as an example. Obviously not official, but it was funny how he pulled out that monster of all of them. |
