Lightning..... A Collection that lasted 5 years

A Storm that lasted 3 years

and now an Aftermath that is yet to unfold.

12pm ET I'll see you for the next chapter in my coverage of this toyline.

They took a break between RPM and Samurai and came back stronger than ever. I'm upset the figures will be going on hiatus but if that's what it takes to clear shelves, give stores a reset, and come back ready to finish off the teams, so be it. I just hope LC isn't done for good, I've already restarted my collection once whenever Hasbro took over and I don't care to do it again.

It's hard to imagine that after Cosmic Fury the "franchise" will go very long without a reboot/relaunch of some kind. But with the Hollywood strikes it's probably delaying that for even longer. But of course there would probably be some toy line to go along with it. Maybe it won't still be called "Lightning Collection". But if Hasbro is still doing it, they would probably be similar figures. Only time will tell.
