    It can't be SDCC though if there's a listing for it on a foreign site, can it? At least I don't think so.

    Hopefully if it is exclusive it's Gamestop/EBGames, since so far I've had zero trouble with getting those.

    Just as long as it's easy to obtain.


    I still can't figure out how to get Alpha and Zordon in Canada.

    Dino Thunder White is awesome and I'll probably end up with him. Definitely down for a Psycho multipack... my guess is on either another vs pack or Psycho Pink and Yellow together. That would just leave Psycho Black and Silver (yes I'm aware it's actually Zahn). Hoping we can finish the team off soon.

    I'm generally pretty meh on Abakiller and the Abaranger designs, but I do have nastalgia for them so I'm sure I'll pick them up. Won't deny it, though, I wish they were doing a different team first.

    Glad to see the psycho rangers continuing though, after getting them so cheap from that gamestop sale yesterday, it'll be cool to get closer to finishing a team

    Maybe those listing were to get rid of stock, so they can have a full 5 figure team in one.

    I'd prefer a Psycho 3 pack: Pink, Yellow, and Black, but if it came down to a 2 pack, it'd definitely be just Pink and Yellow.
    As for Psycho Silver, they can just do a 2 Pack with In Space Silver.

    Had I not recently rewatched Abaranger and found it to not be as great as I once thought it was, I would have been all over their figures. Now, I'll pass.

    Also, SDCC was cancelled this year. IDK of any companies having SDCC specific exclusives this year. I'm sure Funko Pop will be doing their usual Summer Exclusives, which the only difference between that and an SDCC exclusive is the sticker.

    I would prefer a Gamestop exclusive, so I can buy an extra set later on for $10-15.

    I believe he means Gamestop/EB Games because EB Games is like the Canadian Gamestop.

    It MIGHT have been intended for SDCC. But with it cancelled, whatever exclusives that were intended for it are most likely getting released somewhere else. Exclusives were either already ready to go or just about ready when it got cancelled. I doubt companies want to pay warehouse costs to store these for next year.

    Oh I know, I was just adding to what he said that I too would prefer that it be a Gamestop exclusive than an exclusive anywhere else in the US like Walmart, Walgreens, Target, etc. because of GS's discount sales.

    Same. At least they are easy to preorder at EB Games. Finding at Walmart or Toysrus, not so much.

    Part of me is weak and says "Ooh. Goldar's $5.00?" the other part of me says "Eww, GameStop." Decisions, decisions.

    It's not like there is an alternative to get Goldar from.

    I still have to buy from Amazon for certain things now matter how much I don't want to.

    someone mentioned that the gobuster mechs had a lot of breakage issues a couple pages back, how bad are those issues? contemplating grabbing them since I'm generally frustrated with the quality of the American releases and because want the whole set, including tatemagi lioh.

    I don’t know man, I own it and sturdy just isn’t how I’d describe it. The plastic feels kinda like a shampoo bottle and half the parts fall off when the wind blows.

    I wonder if you got a bad one, mine is solid. And it doesn’t self destruct like the Japanese one, so many broken clips

    Maybe so, it’s super frustrating to mess with at times.

    Honestly I find the weird design issues worse than the parts falling off though, from the peg hole for the spoiler being too small, to the spacing of the combined mode arms causing everything to bump together. It just seems like they designed it in CAD and didn’t bother actually play testing it properly.

    I like the design though, which is why I was asking about the Japanese DX. I guess I’ll avoid them if the clips break too easy, but some chunky releases of these designs are really appealing.
