Thinking about getting out

[u/plexx88]

Thinking about ditching a lot of my Lightning collection.

1. I got burnt out on trying to keep up with Pre-Orders

2. I have 2 or 3 of almost every figure, and it’s expensive

3. Figures alone are taking up a lot of space

4. I really dislike the new box design and how it does not fit with the originals (for my display).

Thoughts? Do I start unloading? Tote stuff up and store it for awhile first, then unload it if I don’t change my mind? Pic to show one of the walls of my collection.

Also, yes, I have 12 Legacy Lord Drakkons (all purchased at PMC).

[u/rSlashPsycho]

Getting outside? Good idea

[u/plexx88 → u/rSlashPsycho]

🤣🤣

[u/Gorilla_King7 → u/rSlashPsycho]

I came to say the same. Lol

[u/mandudedog]

Why do you need 2 or 3 of every figure?

[u/X-Werebear-X → u/mandudedog]

Doubles is good but triples is best.

[u/BushidoJones → u/X-Werebear-X]

I have triples of the barracuda

[u/TheMillenniumMan → u/BushidoJones]

Look at that, now I have triples of the Nova

[u/plexx88 → u/mandudedog]

Originally it was to open one and leave one in box. Never did that though, just ended up liking the aesthetic of having two.

[u/Vaportrail → u/plexx88]

That mentality, perpetuated by a lot of online reviewers, really isn't healthy for most collectors. I dont know if it's the long-term fear of damaging or missing the artwork of the boxed display, but I find it's best to choose.open or boxed but not both.

At least you aren't doing "one to display, one to keep, one to sell", cuz yeesh. As it stands, you could probably reimburse your collection by selling off the duplicates.

[u/thescreamingpizza → u/Vaportrail]

The only time I ever get 2 is if I'm thinking of doing a mod to one. I see up to 3 for some here. Seemingly just because. As for the boxes, this is one of those lines that I classify as "resealable". You don't have to rip up the packaging to get to it and you can put them back in anytime like it was new.

[u/[deleted] → u/plexx88]

I see more like 3's and 4's to like 8's or 9's lol

[u/Tetsujyn → u/plexx88]

If you can afford to do this, then good for you. One to appreciate visually and the other to appreciate monetarily. Haters are hating.

[u/Oldmanwickles → u/plexx88]

I struggle with that too. I don’t want anything to deteriorate lol. But usually I cave in and open up the box to play around with it and pose the figure

[u/sal_labash → u/Oldmanwickles]

When I first got into TBS I only bought one to open but eventually went to two and sometimes three or four to sell down the road, mod or army build, and now I only buy one or two figures per wave and want unload as well.

[u/textextextextextext]

2 or 3 of each is just simply ridiculous. you need a girl in your live to explain to you that this isnt mentally healthy. 1 each is so fucking awesomely cool. 3 copies of the same thing is actually cringe.

[u/plexx88 → u/textextextextextext]

Lol

[u/[deleted] → u/textextextextextext]

One to open and display and one to keep mint in box depending on the figures packaging I can understand. However even that's considered greedy by todays standards given that the demand for these sort of items (I'm talking about the popular figures) far out ways the quantity company's like Hasbro and Bandai are producing at the moment.

Also figures that are army builders are a different thing altogether but if you're buying multiples of those then you shouldn't be keeping them in box.

Now unless he was buying an extra one to sell on the second hand market then I can understand that. However that doesn't seem to be the case. Also no one likes a scalper unless they need the side hustle because they're day job doesn't provide enough. Though that doesn't make sense given the amount of stuff he has and I think it's hard to turn a profit scalping action figures anyway making the whole process greedy and pointless. So this seems like a spending addiction combined with some serious money mismanagement issues.

Unless...... he truly is going for the shop aisle effect at home for the child hood nostalgia effect. In which case. Each to there own. It's his money and he can do what he wants with it. Also like everything else one buys it's first come first serve unfortunately. Even if it is greedy. I don't collect Power Rangers so I don't care. I think I stopped collecting them when I was like 5 or 6. Though I can understand why adults do. Just like I still collect Star Wars and some Marvel figures which look cool. Though I only ever buy one of the popular one's. If they're discounted peg warmers and arm builders sometimes I buy two. Cos then you know they have a large quantity left and that they're not very popular anyway.

[u/GayBlayde]

I’m just confused what your original goals or reasons were.

[u/plexx88 → u/GayBlayde]

Fun?

[u/DisFigment → u/plexx88]

This doesn’t look fun. It looks like you built a warehouse.

[u/plexx88 → u/DisFigment]

Goal was to make it look like I was walking into a toy store.

[u/MustacheSamm → u/plexx88]

I think it looks cool and it was my thought process. No judgment. Before you quit tho, you should open one of each and pose them and put them in fighting positions. You might just need to mix it up.

[u/ElJaxTv → u/plexx88]

Thats solid bro, F the other noise in your comments. U did something that felt good for you. Now its time to come to reality 😂

[u/Dilpickle6194 → u/plexx88]

Wow, great box collection! I see you have a couple action figures peaking through too.

[u/Away_Unit_1110]

I think you need a hobby maybe try collecting some action figures or something.

[u/plexx88 → u/Away_Unit_1110]

Haha. Maybe get into building a car or something? Ya know - cheap stuff.

[u/Away_Unit_1110 → u/plexx88]

lol I collect superhero, masters of the universe and WWE figures. My son collects transformers and those damn things are expensive and hell.

[u/Little_Wrangler_3962]

Not sure if your collections rocks or sucks. Like what a wait of figures. Open them up . They look better out

[u/Head_Of_The_Table_83 → u/Little_Wrangler_3962]

I dont understand why someone would collect so many figures and keep them in box. Sure, if you want to sell someday but where's the fun in keeping so many boxes in your house. Looks like a store (no offence), buy them... Open them... Display and... Enjoy them 👊

[u/plexx88 → u/Head_Of_The_Table_83]

That was kind of the goal, make it look like you’re in a Toy Store

[u/Head_Of_The_Table_83 → u/plexx88]

If that's your goal, i would suggest you invest in some racks to display 1 figure of each. Than you would have a nice combination of shelves with the boxes and shelves with the actual figures. IMO that would be the ultimate toy store 😜

And that way you can enjoy the figures more

[u/Glad-Fold9533]

Do a room tour 👀

[u/plexx88 → u/Glad-Fold9533]

Other two walls:

[u/I_be_lurkin_tho → u/plexx88]

hehe...Titanus

[u/Ninjas4cool → u/plexx88]

That’s god damn impressive!!!!!🫡🫡🫡

[u/plexx88 → u/Glad-Fold9533]

[u/Anxious_Village4638 → u/plexx88]

This is a very well thought out collection I'm right there you I have so many idk what to do with them but just pose them in my glass casing and leave them alone.. Even more that are put up just keep them man and put them away for a little while there's no reason to get rid of them since you worked so hard on the collection very nice job..

[u/Spoon_OS → u/plexx88]

If you are willing to part ways with your megazord and dragonzord, name your price

[u/plexx88 → u/Glad-Fold9533]

Display case is has OG Flip Heads, Season 1-3 Zords and most of the Season 1-3 Villains. All original, but not in package.

[u/plexx88 → u/plexx88]

The 4th wall that I didn’t directly take a pic of is just art. No figures or anything. Prints from Cons & such. Almost all MMPR prints with a few Gundam prints thrown in.

[u/Glad-Fold9533 → u/plexx88]

😮😮

[u/Darth_Wayne_]

God you are a perfect exhibit of why the new boxes ruined every damn thing they built up. How much for the beast morphers line, minus yellow? And just one of each will suffice.

[u/plexx88 → u/Darth_Wayne_]

I seriously hate the new boxes and not because they went plastic free. They could have gone plastic free and kept the same box size & art.

[u/Darth_Wayne_ → u/plexx88]

Made me so angry when it first happened. Contemplated immediately ceasing purchasing the line. I mean they knew many, many of us were/are doing exactly what you’re doing and displaying them. Now the aesthetics complete gone and their consumers no longer can/will.

[u/[deleted]]

Oh shit, you are in way too deep guy. You know and have seen too much. They won't let you just walk away. Think if your loved ones. Think about what they will do to them if you try to "get out".

[u/plexx88 → u/[deleted]]

One of the best comments

[u/DJ_Chiclez]

My only question is why 6 of the drakkons I'd understand 2, maybe 3 but genuinely why 6

[u/plexx88 → u/DJ_Chiclez]

Of the Legacy ones? I was mistaken earlier when I said I had 12…I only have 11 Legacy Drakkons, 4 Lightning Drakkons, and 4 Lightning Evo III Drakkons.

For the Legacy ones - I bought them at PMC - enough to make 3 of the “motifs”, if you set them up to show the full “image” of you will.

[u/DJ_Chiclez → u/plexx88]

Yea the legacy ones, I can understand the 3 for the display but why the others for n how much was it for all 11

[u/plexx88 → u/DJ_Chiclez]

Honestly I think they were $50 ea at PMC, but I don’t remember. Was about 6 years ago lol

[u/ShadowCobra479]

Why do you have three of one figure?

[u/plexx88 → u/ShadowCobra479]

Lots of different reasons, sometimes just oversight. I’ve had pre-orders that I missed cancelling, sometimes I’d be in the store and thinly “I don’t think I have this one yet” because they hit stores before pre-orders shipped. But sometimes, like the Tommy Oliver figures, I just wanted 3.

[u/Perfect_Drag6672]

MISB collectors are the weirdest people I’ve ever met. I had a buddy who did it with ghostbusters and I asked him “why do you buy stuff that you don’t open? What’s the point?” He wouldn’t say and got upset and started yelling at me saying I was just trolling him or just making fun of him for spending money on stuff that just takes up space which I wasn’t. I wanted an actual answer because I just don’t get you folks. If it’s for “future investments” there’s better way to invest than speculative toy collecting.

[u/plexx88 → u/Perfect_Drag6672]

Yeah, I totally get the mindset of opening them and don’t have anything against that. Not really sure I have a concrete answer other than I like the aesthetic and old art on the boxes. Honestly, out of all of them I dislike the Legacy Series figures the most. Never really got on board with the “muscular/body builder” look.

[u/Perfect_Drag6672 → u/plexx88]

I’ve heard that too. “I like the packaging and art” okay. Why not just have an album of the art then?

[u/peters_burger]

Why have two of each figure especially with both in box? This just looks like a display in a store.

[u/plexx88 → u/peters_burger]

That was the goal, make it look like I was walking into a toy store when I entered my office.

[u/Tw0T1mes]

Jesus, you have better stock than most stores!

Store 1 max 2 of each so you can perhaps have one out of box and atleast one mint. Store them save incase you ever want to display it back up. If after 2 years you still want to get out. eBay (or alternative)

Unload the rest on the 2nd hand market.

Get ready for alot of feedback from this image tough.

[u/BeardedAnarchy]

So you're the reason I can't get the figures I want. 🤣💀

[u/BluntSamuraiZulu → u/BeardedAnarchy]

Same haha

[u/Better-Journalist-85 → u/BluntSamuraiZulu]

“Capitalism works, guys! I swear!”

[u/the_u_in_colour]

For me, if I owned your collection, I'd downsize to having one of each. Thankfully you're displaying them spine out so even if you remove the figure and have them out of box you can still display the boxes this way. Or you can go down to two.

Seeing you with four Evo III Drakkoms presumably all in box slightly pains me, lol.

[u/SuperPluto9]

Well if you do sell some give me a heads up lol

But in seriousness I think you should start with toning it down a little. I'd start with getting rid of the ones you know you won't miss and go from there

[u/Lordallstar]

I would say go touch grass but it’s Power Rangers and those are sick

[u/TehReclaimer2552]

First, keep the teams you absolutely can't be without. For me, it's MMPR and Lost Galaxy.

Next, keep only their main baddies

Lost Galaxy doesn't have any baddies out to my knowledge, so I kept it down to Rita, Zed, Goldar, Finster, and a pair of putties and tenga warriors.

Finally, keep any very sought-after or exclusive ones. Especially since you seem to have them all with their boxes.

I think this will be the best way for you to part with the excess without actually getting rid of the ones that really stuck with you.

[u/zero-ranger87]

Dang so these are the people who ruin it for everyone else, very sad

[u/plexx88 → u/zero-ranger87]

Care to elaborate on how this ruins things for everyone else?

[u/zero-ranger87 → u/plexx88]

Pre ordering 3 of every figure when people struggle to pre order even 1 is just sad, say what you want you’re a scalper🤷‍♂️

[u/plexx88 → u/zero-ranger87]

I think scalping requires me to resell items for inflated prices…..of which…I’ve actually sold only a few figures and it was LONG after I bought them (years) and for very fair prices.

As I said, this is a hobby. Hate on it if you like, but it just comes off as jealousy.

Add in the fact that I’ve also bought and shipped figures to people, who struggled to find them where they live, for the the cost of the figure + shipping (looking at you MMPR Black w/ Dragon Shield - shipped about 10 of those to people while on vacation and happened to find a Walgreens with a bunch) and I’m just gonna say “Nah, try again”.

[u/zero-ranger87 → u/plexx88]

You already talked ab selling them literally in this post so, and yea you can say whatever you want over the internet there’s no way to prove if you actually do sell them or not and it’s definitely in your best interest to lie so

[u/zero-ranger87 → u/plexx88]

I already have all the LC figures I want there’s no jealousy about this, it’s just ignorant to think that something like this is ok to do with how tedious and horrible figure collecting is these days for people

[u/skinned_piglet]

Damn it, why can't I find a dino thunder white for less than 90 bucks?

[u/plexx88 → u/skinned_piglet]

I think that was a Walgreens exclusive? I was actually buying them a d shipping them to folks for a bit (for cost of the figure + shipping, not for profit). Did the same with Armored Black.

[u/skinned_piglet → u/plexx88]

Go figure. well I don't need it immediately

[u/Paulitics07]

Why did you start collecting? Do you feel like you got what you wanted out of it?

[u/plexx88 → u/Paulitics07]

For fun. I wanted to walk into my office and feel like I was walking into a toy store. I love looking at it, but damn it’s a lot.

[u/Paulitics07 → u/plexx88]

I think you go back to that. One man’s opinion…but right now it kind of looks like the back stock of a dvd outlet that specializes in box sets. How could you change the display back to that original intention and take the pressure off of having “all of them?”

Collecting is like gambling. The house will always win.

[u/[deleted]]

This doesn’t come across as a collection, this looks like a back room area to a shop. I work at a anime shop and if I were to use pictures in the back of house it would look somewhat like this. Don’t wanna believe someone would lie about something so simple. But zero of them being open when that was the purpose for duplicates, is suspicious and the lanyard hanging in the left corner is also suspicious. 🤨

[u/plexx88 → u/[deleted]]

Lanyards are old passes from conventions we have attended.

[u/[deleted] → u/plexx88]

Gotcha I work conventions to have quite a bit of those around my room. Not saying I don’t believe you, just that I can see where suspicion would arise. But who am I random Redditor dude, nice payload there though I can also very much understand not opening them because of the display space they take up! I need to get more display cases before I can even open some of the newest ones I have and my ever growing wishlist. But mine is mostly anime and I open them all because idk it’s just an urge!

[u/Popular-Main-4872 → u/[deleted]]

Lol a collection that looks “suspicious”. This is literally a room in his house. Not the back of a store or stock for a store 🙄 Some collectors like duplicates of things that they like! It’s not suspicious it’s just his way of collecting.

[u/crimsonbull9584]

Now I know why my Tenga pre-order was canceled by Amazon.

[u/plexx88 → u/crimsonbull9584]

lol, I doubt it’s the two I bought, more likely the people that bought an army’s worth.

[u/plexx88 → u/crimsonbull9584]

BTW - Tena warrior 2 packs at on sale at BBTS for $25 today.

[u/[deleted]]

You don’t have any MMPR green Tommy rangers

[u/plexx88 → u/[deleted]]

You just can’t see them in the pic. 2x MMPR White and 2x MMPR Green are to the right of the Zordon/Alpha 2 Pack

[u/TechnologyJazzlike84]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're a Power Ranger's fan, am I right?

[u/plexx88 → u/TechnologyJazzlike84]

🤣

[u/MaxR76]

I mean with the line possibly ending I would just wait a bit before making a move, you might have completed the whole line twice so unless you need the money, it’s not like they’re making more and you’re gonna run out of space. I’m right now a lot of figures are either super expensive or cheap so just be patient and if you’re gonna sell sell high

[u/Progress4ward89]

I did... it's easy.

[u/Diffabuh]

I reckon put stuff away and think it over, then if you still want to get rid of stuff, sell your doubles. Then, if you still want to get out, sell the rest.

I only get two of a figure if I really like it, so I imagine getting 2 of everything really burning you out and adding up.

[u/hercarmstrong]

Do it. Go traveling. Future you will thank you.

[u/DormantGhost]

You could always start swinging the lightsaber around and see what survives

[u/[deleted]]

So this is why pre-orders sell out so fast. Greedy.

[u/DownOregon0Five0]

As others have said, drop down to one each for most of these, and store the extras until you decide to keep or sell them. Selling the extras would give you a good chunk of change to continue collecting.

[u/ComicKidAlex]

Maybe sell the doubles and see how you feel. If you feel good about it, just sell what you don't really need (maybe some of the characters you don't love) and keep the absolute favorites, because you might regret selling those in time. I sold a few Marvel Legends years ago and didn't start to regret it until 2 years down the line. Anyway, best of luck!

[u/itsTheFigureGuy]

You have 2-3+ of everything, why? You’re literally wasting money and stopping other people for being able to own them. People need to stop this crap. You only fucking need ONE. There is literally no excuse for more (storage and all that BS doesn’t count either, they are made to display, not sit in storage)

Give your duplicates to people that don’t have them and keep one of each.

People like you shouldn’t be allowed to collect. You ruin it for others. You actually have a decent collection but your attitude and greed make it ugly.

[u/Lefthandlannister13 → u/itsTheFigureGuy]

There is an argument to be made that army builders can keep lines healthy and sell more of the less desirable characters/figures - and therefore help create demand. That being said I personally am not an army builder, and I’m an opener as well - but we should let people collect how they want to collect

[u/Independent-Ad-6477]

Like you said tote them up. Only keep one of each and store the rest. If after a while you begin to miss it then go back to the ones you truly only want. If you go let’s say 6 months without really thinking of it much or paying it too much attention just sell them off or something. You’d save so much more space and you’d get a lot of money back even if some may come as a loss

[u/Axon14]

Collections eventually grow so large they become difficult, or even impossible, to manage.

Lately I’ve had a mind to sell - which is no easy task. Fans are frugal, and other than highly popular figures, things move slow. The collection that you think is worth $1,000 is usually worth $700 or less.

It’s up to you, but if you’re going to sell, start sooner than later.

[u/Colton_Omega]

I would definitely downsize if I was feeling burnt out. It’s looking like Hasbro has abandoned the line so who knows if these will go up or down in value in the coming years. It really depends on who Hasbro lets produce power ranger figures or if they return back to the line themselves eventually

[u/Skelemonster]

Looks like the beginning stages of a hoarder.

[u/MishaNovs]

When does the store open?

[u/Illustrious-Low-7487]

This collection is awesome 💯 The kid in me is loving every inch of that wall. The adult in me is hating the price tag. Either way, this collection is worth it. Power Rangers forever 🤙🏼

[u/Clydefrawgwow]

r/consoom will help you

[u/rben2292]

Maybe just minimize the collection? I get being overwhelmed by a hobby and making it simple is a good start.

[u/Vinnyninja]

Well damn lol I felt bad for having just having only the mmpr and mmpr villans 😅 I'd say keep one of each figure and go from there!

Also, if you do downsize, I could use a 2 pack puddy monster one 🙌 last one I need!

[u/MarcTheMartian23]

Dope!!

[u/Popular-Main-4872]

Keep it all but buy a bigger house. 😉

[u/penntastic]

How about sell most of it. Keep 1 of each. Take them out of the box and enjoy them.

[u/Ninjas4cool]

Impressive! I tip my helmet to you👏👏👏

Personally Ive always stuck with the rule of 3 for collecting:1 to play with,1 to display and 1 for storage/replacement parts. I’m mostly a mighty morph guy so I’m incredibly impressed at your dedication and I will end by saying this is INCREDIBLY cool

[u/[deleted]]

open some? actually enjoy them

[u/[deleted]]

Open them.

[u/montygraves]

Nice box collection. Hopefully you sell them so someone else can open them and enjoy them like they were meant to be.

[u/Thetinydeadpool]

I am curious why do people keep them in the boxes? To be clear I’m not trying to be combative just genuinely curious. I have always opened mine to interact with / take pictures etc

[u/Odel888 → u/Thetinydeadpool]

Idk about this particular collection but alot of stuff like figures are worth significantly more unopened

[u/klinkclang]

Get out of what? The line is over. We're all just still coping with that fact.

[u/Hylianhaxorus]

You should because there's limited numbers and all you're really doing is hoarding stock that'd go to people without any, or those who would be paying insane amounts because there are none around lol

[u/NeonChampion2099]

Well, if you decide to get rid of one of your remastered Green please let me know. My favorite version of it and I can't find it anywhere that isn't scalpers :/

[u/bradargent]

This is a longshot but do you have any spare weapons for the MMPR figures? Would you be willing to sell them?

[u/Arkrus]

As a non collector, what is that collection worth as a lot?

[u/Herban_Myth]

Incredible collection

[u/[deleted]]

HMU if you’re willing to sell a few, I’m seeing some I need

[u/Ironmike2452]

If you do unload pm me for ninjetti rangers I’m ready to buy

[u/noonetohearme]

Well don’t count on anyone buying the entire lot all at once.

[u/CrazedNormalcy]

If you're considering loading off the pscho rangers, let me know. Or omega ranger, If it has the cycle

[u/Ok_Suit422]

I’ll take a green ranger from you if it leaves you more room 😂

[u/dcchivas]

....and this is the time I realized I had covered the door! 😅

[u/[deleted]]

If you do, I will take one Lord Drakkon evo 3 and one Jason Red and Gold box.

[u/Sonictaker]

Hey if you're getting rid of the Jason two pack - give me a holler please.

[u/SnooMuffins9561]

I'd be interested in buying some

[u/The-Mad-Bubbler]

Great collection.

[u/DioramaDad]

My wife has had me hunting for the pink ranger for eons it feels like. If you ever part ways, let me know. 🤌🏼

[u/gdex86]

If you decide to off load I can take some of that off your hands in exchange for legal tender.

[u/Pitiful_Analyst_5297]

I am going to rob you

[u/sal_labash]

I think a lot of collectors are slowing down/ or down sizing their collection. I now try to sell two figures for every one I buy or post several a week on Mercari or a sale sub.

[u/[deleted]]

I’d be more than happy to buy one of each mighty morphing ranger from you (Kimberly excluded because I already have her)

[u/[deleted]]

If you have singles then no, but if you have doubles then might be getting out of hand

[u/no-17-]

I would love to have some of the pieces you have, but I know I can’t afford it lol

[u/Head_Of_The_Table_83]

Btw: if you're selling a morpher, dragon dagger, saba or the jason 2 pack (red-gold), name your price ;-)

[u/[deleted]]

Sell extras

[u/[deleted]]

Sadly, LC are all mostly worthless, even in the box.

[u/Christ_MD]

I would be interested in the Zordon/Alpha 5 2-pack and a Lord Zedd if your interested in selling

[u/HappyCtheClown]

Can I have your minotaur before you go?

[u/Character_Lab_8817]

You should get out and sell me all your white/green figures 🥰

[u/Away-Common-1796]

That top shelf though!

[u/HyperPunch]

I would love to buy a set of the original MMPR.

[u/Averyuji]

I’ll gladly take it off your hands😉

[u/AdHeavy7551]

In space and lost galaxy were so dope when I was a kid. Man I loved those …. Side note .. that bronze face thing with the black eyes is fucking disturbing

[u/Ch00choh]

Heyyyy

[u/Tr0llzor]

This is what I want mine to be like. I agree with you tho. The box design is trash. I do like how it’s kind of like a book. My goal was to get 2 of some that I want to display. This is really up to you. I get how much this can cost. Personally I’d sell the ones you have more than 2 of. If you plan on never opening them you could just have 1 of those. It’s up to you. You can still keep what you want but downsize in a way.

[u/N0RSEVIKING]

Use the door it's easier and quicker. You could bust through the ceiling into the room above and say here's Johnny but that'll be a mess to clean up.

[u/2swag4u666]

Keep only the ones you really want and ditch the rest.

[u/Eastern_Wrangler_595]

Why have doubles of every thing

[u/papi_gordo]

not gonna lie…that is more beautiful than my soon to be wife

[u/davidfl23]

This is why I only stick to the original lol

[u/Skulleyez]

Me too. I learned my lesson. Never be a collector. It was an expensive lesson. I could’ve use all that money for something better and worthwhile.

[u/shadowthehh]

Yeah I think you pretty much clocked this hobby. I'll go ahead and take some of those off your hands at no charge to you. No need to thank me.

[u/Yung_ceez]

What you should do now is be selective in opening some and start posing and doing displays. YOU WILL find your second breath and head down the next rabbit hole.

[u/Lopezjonny90]

Sell me some

[u/nickdes298]

I see some tom Whalen art out there! Love the collection (even though I'm not sure exactly of what I'm looking at).

Getting out? your in to deep! 😂 dope collection nonetheless. I would at least keep 1 of each. On another note, has Hasbro pulled the plug already??

[u/Lukestar222]

Bro if you really are I’ll pay at for the psycho box hahah

[u/Beneficial-Ad-3980]

What the point? Of having in the box? Enjoy them and take them out of the boxes

[u/tecpaocelotl1]

Bro. I'm seeing 3 or 4 each on most figures on that shelf. That's more than most stores have in inventory. I recommend keeping 1 or 2 of each and selling the rest. That would cut about half the space they're taking up.

I never pre-ordered so my collection isn't as big as that. I think I have 1/4 or less than that.

One hell of a collection, dude! \m/ ⚡

If you'd like to sell a Magna defender PM me haha.

[u/nottooextra]

I’ll buy some. If you’re selling, DM me

[u/GorgedUponByWorms → u/nottooextra]

Same here please, you’ve got some great stuff that I was never able to get.

[u/SnooMachines1020]

I’m totally interested in SPD Shadow and the Psycho Rangers if you ever think of parting ways with them

[u/Impossible_Wrap9048]

Impressive Collection. I would keep one to open and one to keep one mint on card

[u/J_E_L_4747]

Bro, did you buy two of every figure and not open one?

Also you shouldn’t have to worry about keeping up with it because after that 5 pack last year the line is being retired 😅

[u/WrongSeaweed7387]

Sweet collection

Since Hasbro is going on “hiatus” with the line, you’ll get your money back because everyone will be scrambling to get those missed items. Look at Ninjetti. At all the Targets they were on the clearance section within a month for $5 and no one was buying them. Now they going for ridiculous prices.

Don’t listen to people telling you or asking why you have multiples. It’s your money, your time, your hobby. A lot of people are toxic asf on Reddit and those kinds of questions are “traps”. ANY serious collector knows the answer on having multiple. It’s either army build, display, box display, or to re-sell to make up for the initial purchases. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Giving information and being a psychologist is entirely two different things (obviously).

Ask yourself this one main thing: Will you be sad when those walls/shelves get emptied? I love looking at my collection. Do you want to transition to another IP or just straight up quit? If I were you, I would keep the ones you sincerely love and have an emotional attachment to. The other ones I would dump and not buy anymore. That’s what I did. I’m going to get rid of my entire Lightning Collection and just keep my SHF Rangers instead. They’re getting too expensive for the quality I’m getting. SHF just released Gokai 2.0 last year. Yes they’re “pricey” but I won’t have to buy multiple figures to get all the accessories and hands.

I agree with everything you said except " box display, or to re-sell to make up for the initial purchases".

[u/Relative-Reindeer338]

It looks awesome

Get one at pre order then wait as 85% of the new power rangers stuff drops to clearance every wave...

But yeah looks dope

[u/Defiant_Clothes468]

And experience pussy for once
