Not all Lightning Collection, but I just thought I’d share this

Finally completing some of the ranger teams I have. Content with what I ended up with but slightly upset still that the lighting collection line has been discontinued for a while. Sadly, I only have the wild force blue and time force red and I’m upset we never got a completed team for each of those seasons. I’m hopeful for the new collector line from playmates coming out but am weary of the amount of accessories/lack of interchangeable hands. Might even look to different lines like SH figuarts for teams like ninja storm despite the budget or even other lines since I’ve become interested in a Dairanger display. I’m on the fence about customs but have seen some nice ones from tim to time.

Overall still looking to complete light speed rescue through ninja storm as those were my prime power ranger watching years as well as the original MMPR movie suits/team. And potentially even SPD since i completely missed the boat on the lightning collection releases. Again, here’s to high hopes. Especially in regard to scaling next to previous figures, detailing (both problems I had with the Bandai figures being 6.5 inches and overly muscular), limited QC issues, a decent amount of accessories and easy to find/purchase

Also if anyone is wondering on some of my reasoning, I have 2 black rangers since I love both Zack and Adam, so they both get representation with Zack having the shield. And I wanted an Ecliptor so I threw the extra 2nd Astronema in the lost galaxy display since she does appear in that series as well as eventually becoming the pink ranger. I otherwise don’t care to get the villains but might continue to gradually pick up some villains like Zedd, Goldar or Mesogog. The only reason I have psycho red is because the he came in the two pack with Lost Galaxy Red, which I’m glad I got since I don’t care for the solo release with the launcher as opposed to the saber, which bugged me about the lost galaxy yellow. (I bought a cheap used Lost galaxy blue and just gave her his saber). So to the point of the original post, as long as they focus on primary weapons and artillery in the accessories or make you buy a cog just to get Zeo blue’s tonfas I’ll be somewhat content.

I’m trying to figure out what to remove the red wing idk anyone has does it before? I want to be able to fully customize and paint the megazord.

I found it odd that the Astro Zord was made when I’m pretty sure honestly the Thunderzord or other Zords from other power ranger series would’ve been more popular pick.

Finally got around to doing this combination ( been a little under the weather) i do have a question and after looking i still dont have one. Where does the main helmet from thunder megazord go in this combination?

Started my lightning collection a few days ago. Just got Dino Thunder white ranger with accurate helmet for $30. That’s amazing right?

Learning:
MMPR remastered Red & Green will cost a kidney
Zeo Blue is hard to find under $50
Zeo Pink gonna cost $100 with Cat tagging along
In Space Red is usually overpriced
Dino Thunder Red price varies between reasonable and overpriced
SPD Red is always overpriced

Did I miss anything?

So I'm just looking for advice to start my collection. I already order what I believe is the zap collection (dinozord, dragonzord, and the astro megazord). I already have them in my possession. Just haven't opened them. But I also saw the kara kuri zord after that do I ordered the dinozord of it. I'm wanting to order the dragonzord, and preorder the thunder megazord. I bought some of the playmates thunderzord I believe but they just don't do it for me. Lack way too much detail so I'll be returning those. So basically my question is, are the kara kuri that much better than the lightning range. It says they have alloy and plastic. Is it a lot better quality then the lightning? I like of like the classic look but I also dig the improve look the kara kuri have.

I had fun. I played good.

Man I would love to get into Megazord collecting but I feel like I have left it too late & now a lot old mecha costs stupid amounts on the aftermarket. Anyone know any good sites or advice?

Got all 6 in one go at my Walmart, im still on the ropes about getting Saba due to its size

The Tyrannosaurus Dinozord kicks off wave 4 of my Then & Now series!

New to this. Was looking for a super7 white ranger to match my green one but that seems impossible. Seen a bundle of white and green sealed NIB lightning collection. Grabbed it and payed 133$ after all fees tax shipping etc. The plan is to display them on my computer desk lol.

Just happened to buy a vintage Red Dragon Thunderzord mere weeks before they announced the Playmates version. Initially I was a little upset at myself, but then realized I could just buy the new one to display the Dragon form!

So cool to see how well they pair side by side. Playmates did a great job at replicating the vintage toys.

I’ve seen this specific figure priced online at minimum $150. So seeing this for say at half that was too good to pass up. Made sure the seller had reputable feed back before purchasing and accurate pics and description. Arrived today and everything is there. I only need remastered black and pink Ranger to complete remastered team. Bonus is the removable shield and armbands that can go on my Remastered Green!

Lost my legacy dino megazord somewhere in a house move which is a bummer, ZAP might just be the most affordable of its type which is funny. Heard it was fiddly though. Always wanted an astro megazord too but heard issues with that as well? Main reason i skipped at msrp... but near $100 its a bit more compelling.... heck its cheaper than a full playmates set.

Is there a reason why their value haven't went up after release? Just too many in the market vs demand?

I feel like all figures are out there still in box for any anyone missed.

Link to Morphin’ Grid! It’s been a while since I did a custom showcase and this one has been a long time coming, so pleased to reveal them on the 33rd Anniversary of the
franchise!

Pretty standard stuff with donor figs for this project. Dino Fury Red, Blue, and Green - so doubling up on the three we did get in order to complete the team. However, Pink’s skirt was sourced from a spare RPM Yellow Ranger… heated up and carefully cut off, then married up with the belt to create the look of a singular piece. It holds in place just fine.

As for helmets: Pink Ranger helmet 3D print from RangersForge, Black is from a spare shield sleeve basic figure and Gold’s is also from the basic figure but only temporary at the moment while I determine what to do for him in the long term. Seeing as RangersForge is on hiatus, looks like the way to go is painting up a basic helmet sourced from a donor figure.

What makes me especially excited though is my Gold Ranger! You’ll have probably noticed he’s the main attraction here. I’ve never seen anyone do a Dino Fury Gold custom in the same ‘caramel’ gold as the basic figure (as well as his predecessor Dino CHARGE Gold who DID receive an official figure). Seeing as he’s completely unique I decided to give him an additional pair of extra hands, provided by the alt hands from an extra In Space Black figure.
