White Ranger Dino Thunder

I am happy to see this figure. Happy to have a Trent head. I'd love to have a figure for every ranger, and gotta have Trent, right?
...But also... we all just spent $20 on Bandai's Legacy figure in 2018. Not THAT long ago. Before Dino Fury, there are like 150+ rangers, right? Somewhere in that neighborhood, depending on what characters/modes we're including. SPD SWAT, for example, could be another 5 figures. MMPR Movie(s) could be another set, or two...
So, plenty of rangers to get to before doing all of the ones Bandai JUST did. Obviously, I ordered that Psycho Ranger set immediately, gotta have that! But that release also seemed kinda odd. Again, Bandai just did Psycho Red, Blue, Black and con-exclusive Silver & Green. (Yellow & Pink had prototypes but got cancelled due to the company switch, of course). But, anyway, just seems kinda odd to get to the Psychos so fast and give them their own complete team box set over a team of rangers. I would have expected an MMPR team set first. MMPR Black still doesn't have a normal release and we've got a full team of Psychos? Again, I'll take it! But weird, especially after having just sold Red & Blue Psychos (which I believe are still sitting at GameStop).
Back to Trent, Bandai's figure came with the Megazord BAF. It was also a larger figure. Unless it's just hidden in the box, looks like there's only one version of the Drago Sword? Hopefully there are some translucent golden arrows hiding behind the packaging? Looks like the visor needs more paint.
I've been reading reactions on FB, a lot of which are "amazing!" and I'm not sure I'd go that far. Happy to see Dino Thunder, but this wouldn't have been my choice right now. But, speaking of Dino Thunder, you know I'd love to animate a Dino team-up battle! And right now, there isn't a team of MMPR, Dino Thunder, and Dino Charge in the same scale, Had it been Red, for now, we'd at least have Red Ranger for all three dino teams. That's somethin', for now.
I'm gettin' this, but I'm not sure my mind is "blown" like some comments I'm seeing. I'd like to see some (well painted...) figures from seasons that have been ignored. And more accessories. Still some of the same problems with the Bandai figures, and w/o the BAF.
(I believe this is out in Malaysia, no word over here yet that I've seen but I'll of course have an update later)
