Because fuck you all, I want to talk about Power Rangers and can't be arsed finding and joining one of the many fan forums.
I was in Toys'R'Us today and picked up 4 Star Wars black series figures and a couple of the 3.75" Rogue One figures. A word of warning, the Chewbacca isn't worth even the reduced price, no paint on his belt/bag and his bowcaster is the worst, soft, bendy rubber and the front doesn't even fit on properly, useless for posing. Took me a good search to find a Stormtrooper with decent paint too.
Anyway, while I was there I had a look at the Power Rangers section, as you can guess it was mostly stuff for the new movie. The standard size Ranger figures actually look okay but they were £10 each. I was mainly interested in the zords after all the bullshit I've seen and read about them. I only saw the T-Rex as an individual zord which was £40, better than the £50 or £60 at Smyths when I went there. But they did have the complete set box and it was £130... fucking £130 just to have a megazord that transforms. They never cost that much when I used to get them as a kid, shit I picked up the 2010 re-release of the original for £30 when it came out. They can't help the horrible design they went with in the movie, but for £130 I'd expect a lot more than the hollow plastic shells with minimum paint and detail. On the plus size, it was huge. People have said it was big but I didn't think it was that big, the box was on its side and still barely fit on the shelves.
I'm thinking of seeing the movie in cinemas, the new clip makes it look surprisingly decent, even if it's not muh Power Rangers.
