I have read unofficial reports of Morgan Freeman being the voice of Zordon however a director is in place and a script seems to be signed off on. I have read reports of it being difficult casting rangers. I wonder if the racial thing will come into play or if Trini will be Asian and Zack Black.

Edit:Oh, I see its already posted.

Has anyone here watched Project Almanac? If so, please tell me what it's like. I don't want this film to flop.

According to that article, he's supposedly a fan of the franchise too. So if he gets the gig, there might just be hope for it yet.

Ugh. Whoever has been saying those things, pay them no mind.

I'd actually get the MMPR season 1 set if it were eligible for the sale.

[Storm Eagle]

Even past May 20th, the set is still $149.95 at Time-Life. It's currently the best price anywhere if you want both the MMPR set and seasons 4-7 set.

Wal-Mart's exclusive MMPR season 1 set was available only at their stores, but now it can be ordered from their site.

Shout! Factory claims that they're almost sold out of legacy sets. They say that there are less than 500 left, and also that they're ending international shipping at the end of June 2nd since it's getting costly with the amount that they have left.

I won't lie. If I still had my job from last year, I'd be tempted to get another one.

The final Super Megaforce DVD comes out on August 11th. It's the extended version of the finale that aired twice on NickToons so far.

How would it confront you that they stopped shipping internationally? You're in Canada and they'll still ship it there, as it's part of North America. Canada has always been fair game for Shout! Factory as far as shipping goes, as it's part of their general region 1 rights.

Not to mention you've had how long to get the set now? I also think it's silly that Shout is acting like these things are running out? Didn't they make only like 2000 of these? That's a fairly low number. I remember when it was announced most people thought it'd sell out within minutes during pre-orders but they've reduced the price how many times now? And they they added international shipping because they still couldn't sell them and even with that it took them how long to "almost sell out", it's obvious this set was a huge bomb sales wise, the whole "ending" international shipping seems like both a strategy to get some quick international sales and because they're indeed low and they prefer not to deal with the hassle of having to ship internationally. Surprised it took nearly two years, these things must have taken so much space in their ware house they had no idea how to get rid of them.

Maybe to you it is.

A company selling less than 100 units per month of something is fairly low for most industries. Are you seriously implying this Legacy set was not a huge bomb?

I was disputing that 2000 is a low number. Though they did say once that they had more than half that amount of orders to fulfil when they started shipping them out.

They've definitely sold more than 1000 by now since that's how many lithographs they had to ship along with that same amount of orders, and they've got no more of those to offer. Mind you, even back in January 2014 when they started shipping them out, they still had lithographs left. When asked why that is, despite the claim that there were more than 1000 orders to fulfil in the beginning, this was the response.

So just take that how you will.

As far as people thinking it would sell out within minutes once pre-orders went live, that was just pure speculation.

Oh well my mistake. A lot of these companies like to consider us international so I'm glad Shout! Factory has brains
