It is crazy all the costumes needed. Hopefully they all find good homes.
Holy crap isn't this the prototype weapon Don works on in Gokaiger before creating the Gokai Galleon Buster? I don't think this even appears in SMF.
It is (and it does).
And it's arguably not even the coolest thing in that lot.
Oh my bad, I've only seen like 3 episodes of SMF. And cool is subjective :)
Won my dream lot!!
I didn't win the lot I wanted. Really, really sad. If the winner is here, I'd love to buy one of those Silver Guardian costumes.
Got the two lots I wanted and I'm out with money to spare, so super grateful for everybody not bidding on my lots lmao

Does this mean this franchise is dead?
In its current form, yes. Which is sad. Hopefully it won't be the last we see of the Rangers, just a new beginning to get kids back into it.
It sucks because if they do continue, they most likely won’t use sentai footage, or even a base. Which to me was a highlight. Of how they can recontextualize a japanese show.
Hasbro will more than likely not do this. They will market MMPR to the end of time and do nothing with the IP.
Since Disney is possibly making the show now, they could very easily have multiple teams going at the same time, bringing back the characters and seasons we love and still use the MMPR as the main series. Just like what they're doing with marvel. I'm just scared they'll forget the cool martial art action and go for generic like in marvel movies. Shang Chi had the best action of all the marvel movies so far, but it's still not as cool as the old school rangers or old martial art movies.
Tbh I had a whole idea to retcon SMF, All the showa/Prezyu sentai and have an actual functioning team running at once
Didn't get anything I wanted :(
Had a hard cap at $2K and to my surprise that wasn't enough lol. I think there is a small one at the end of the year, so I'll just try my luck then.
Did they say somewhere that there was going to be a third auction?
Don't have a source but I've seen that a few different places on social media.
But at this point, I think they’ve auctioned off just about everything. I have to imagine whatever comes up during the 3rd auction will probably just be stuff the original bidder flaked out on paying for, unless...
This feels more damning than anything else

Like since they are getting rid of patterns. Show is gone?
Without looking at what the patterns are specifically, that’s kind of my read on it yeah. “We don’t need to make new costumes anymore”
Stop complaining and get bidding!! Still hasn't come up yet, right at the end
I’m good. I don’t have that kind of money to throw around
