Literally NO Red Ranger at any store in town. 2nd biggest city in the State, 2 dozen different stores -- and not a single Red Ranger.
Hell, the only MALE Ranger I found was yellow Ninja Storm. So lame.
*Edit* Bit the bullet, and bought the red Ninja Storm figure off Amazon for $28. Hoping I don't regret it.
Just saw the pics from Toy Fair that we're getting the MMPR with weapons, so I'll pick that whole wave up to open, and Zeo, too. After that, it's just Turbo and MAYBE the 2017 Movie Figs, if I can get all 5 for a reasonable price. Passed up on them twice.
Great. ANOTHER series of figures. Ugh.

Not getting the In Space team to finish the Zordon Era? Only Red, at least for now. They're fairly easy to come by online etc. Hoping for Alien Rangers too. I was a fan growing up through the whole Zordon Era. *Edit* TRU only had 1 2017 movie Yellow Ranger left today, so grabbed her and the Pink Ranger. They're SUPPOSED to get more in eventually, but have no idea when. She said the distribution center put in for more, but their system doesn't show when they'll receive them, or get them out to stores.

Am I the only one interested in seeing some Legacy villains? From '96-'14, BanDai was super weak with main villain action figures (except for that surprising release of Divatox in the Turbo line). I wouldn't have been too upset with the two villain per year IF those villains would have been main ones. It seems like it was the second in command and a grunt each year.
I'd like to see a Legacy series of all the villains that BanDai missed in years past.
King Mondo (I luckily own his Japanese figure) Astronema Trakeena Olympius Queen Bansheera Vypra Flurious Necrolai (another Japanese figure I own) Toxica Marah and Kapri Gluto Nadira Darkonda (MAJOR WANT!) Prince Gasket and Archerina
We could also have some updated releases of villains like Mesogog, Ransik and Ecliptor.

Goldar, Zedd, Scorpina -- and certain monsters would be amazing.

Any and all monsters/villains are welcome. I'd be more interested in MMPR-Zeo mostly, but I'd still welcome an Astronema, Darkonda, Darkliptor and an updated Ecliptor.

Done with my OG lineup after finding a Yellow at my TRU over the weekend. I also bought another white to keep MOC. I'm meeting JDF in July and might have him sign it. I kind of wish I bought a second Green to keep MOC now. I'm still working on the new movie figures but I haven't seen anymore around me. So I'm just going to have to hope for restocks at my TRU stores or turn to eBay. Anyway, glad I pulled the trigger on completing these. The BAF Megazord is a little smaller than I imagined but I wasn't getting the figures for the BAF. So just a nice bonus, I guess. (My Green Ranger is in another case with my original Auto-Morphin Green Ranger. So that's why he's MIA from this picture)

Hopefully I'll find something similar when I go back to TRU on Monday. Keeping this set MOC, and I'll get the metallic finish w/ weapons to open.

Yeah, the no weapons thing is incredibly frustrating. I don't think there is any chance I spend another $100 and tax just to get the weapons. We should have just gotten them with these and the metallic costumes should just be a new BAF or something. I don't even think they used their weapons with the metallic costumes did they? Regardless, the metallic figures aren't something I really want. So it makes it even more difficult to try and justify those purchases just for the weapons.
I think other than the rest of the new movie figures, I'm probably just grabbing the Black Dino Thunder Tommy, because that costume is baddass, and I'll largely be done unless they start putting out MMPR Legacy villains. I'd honestly love it if they did figures with removable helmets. That's kind of my dream want. That's a situation where I would buy all of these over again.

There are random ones scattered throughout most of the series that I would pick up 1-2 of. That said, I'm actually REALLY happy I didn't drop $50 on a red MMPR to open for my Forever Red collection, so I can just use the metallic. I HATE that I have another series to buy, but -- meh. I grew up a PR fanatic. Can't back off now. Must feed the addiction! And yeah, I'm actually pulling for a straight villains wave: Zedd, Rita, Putty, Scorpina, Goldar and a BAF of one of the more memorable villains -- King Sphinx or Pumpkin Rapper come to mind. I also feel like Bulk and Skull are long overdue for quality figures. Even if only one release of each ever. They were ultimately just as integral to the series.

Got this guy off of eBay for $13 and he showed up last night. I think they're only $5-6 at the store but I treated it like a Funko mini and just got the one I wanted. I'd like to get the White as well but I saw it was like 1/48 on the box. So I'm not holding my breath. I think these are pretty cool and the accessories are great.

They're actually about $12-13 at the store depending on where you get them. Expensive but cool little figures. I have a few and as long as you don't get doubles it's not a waste. The first set of wave two have been hitting Walmart. They include some of the rangers from the 1995 movie.

Amazon has white, black and yellow pack for around 20 bucks
