I took for granted how my family prioritized this kind of happiness for me as a kid. We were solidly blue collar, middle class but somehow they always, ALWAYS got me the complete lineup of the PR action figures when they came out, even when they were sold out. Maybe those 3 am Black Friday mad dashes.
My cousins and friends, who couldn’t afford such “luxuries,” would get upset at me that I didn’t appreciate what I had. In retrospect, I didn’t. What I lacked in emotional warmth and acceptance, they gave to me in torrents in gifts.
Sorry for the gloom. Power Rangers holds a very special place in my childhood.
