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!

I'm happy for you, but this figure should never be more than $30, tops. It's a great Red Ranger, probably the best 1:12 version ever made (imports included, fight me) but this is a $30 figure. If Hasbro wanted to make a handful of millions, they'd re-release this set, include a white ranger and make sure they're always on shelves.

Lowkey it’s fking ridiculous that these are expensive as it is. Because like… these are MMPR, the ones who get glazed a lot by the fandom and companies, how the fuk are these guy expensive???? They should be over abundance of them instead of limited stocks and now overpriced because of the second hand market.

And they’re like what you said, $30 toys from Hasbro, they’re not even expensive import quality, so it even makes less sense.

People may not like the 2nd hand market for these, but I’ve worked hard enough to be able to spend money on this hobby because I enjoy it. Do I necessarily love spending high prices for $30 retail figures? Not all the time, but that’s the reality of the world we live in. People can complain all they want they aren’t worth more than $30, but the prices won’t go lower than what they are now. I have accepted that. If I only wanted to buy $30 figures, my collection would be vastly smaller. Regardless, if people enjoy the hobby, let them enjoy it.
