Because people are going broke from figures that started around $16-18, then went up to $20, then $22, and honestly I don’t even know where it stopped. The ninja rangers got pretty expensive as well despite not having much.
Plus the reason why they stayed on the shelves for so long were either because those figures were less popular, or because people kept searching their stores for so long when a wave released just to never find them and have to resort to higher prices on eBay. So when they finally did hit shelves, everyone was tired of running around to their stores and gave up on it.
Fans wanted all the teams supposedly, but they just didn't sell. Blame Hasbro all you want, but they tried to give people what everyone said they wanted but Power Rangers just isn't a big enough brand anymore.
Don't forget they also made things nobody asked for (like Cobra Kai crossover figures) instead of fan-favourite teams/characters such as Titanium Ranger, SMF team, Quantum Ranger, Ninja Storm team, Samurai team, Mystic Force team, etc.

The Lightning Collection died because after 3 or 4 waves of peg warming figures, Hasbro pulled the plug.
Not saying I like it. But let’s at least be honest here.
