Yeah, it was perfect timing. I was watching a lot of Japanese cartoons around that time. I think it was around the same time. Dragon Ball, Robotech, Voltron, and Ronin Warriors. Whenever that was, close enough, lol. It was perfect, I remember being into MMPR for awhile, at least through the movies.
I think the only megazord I had was the blue round spaceship... I think that was Lost in Space? I can't remember.
I'm buying everything S.H. Figuarts MMPR, zords, figures, villains, whatever Bandai Japan does (it's tough not buying doubles of Tyranno & Dragon). Figuarts.. it's an addiction, and it's easier to feed than Hot Toys that's for sure. lol.
It's definitely a slippery slope. At the moment, I have the 2010 Megazord, Legacy Morpher, and Legacy Megazord. I'm not sure how much more I'll get at this point, but the price points on these collectibles are very nice. It won't break the bank. And if I need to clear some space, I can sell a few other collectibles and pay for it that way. Nothing comes out of pocket either.
I remember when MMPR came out they couldn't keep the 9' figures on the shelves and remember TRU had a waiting list you had to be on.
I remember reading in the newspaper (pre Internet) that people were getting power ranger toys stolen from their cars that following Christmas the year MMPR came out.
And those same figures went on clearance years later.
I do vaguely remember some of the holiday rush scenes and how hard some of the pieces were to get back in the day. Heck, it becomes even more vivid when I see what some of them go for on Ebay.
You got Netflix, probably the best way to watch every Saban made series at this point, i recommend, the quality is really good too.
I need to. I don't have Netflix yet, but with all of these older shows I used to watch getting re-released, it's almost becoming a must.
