More Keys are coming, how will they be packaged??

UPDATED 11/23/14 4:30 PM EST

SDCC 2014 revealed more key. Reps say that we will be getting Females and Sixth Rangers. If 3 keys come per pack, how would the keys fit in packs? Some teams only have 2 missing, some 4, and others as much as 7! Could be they do two more waves of 7 packs of 3 and stick the rest in Feature Megazord and Toys R Us Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Ranger Key set. They could also mix rangers in sets, not do per season but just random. Or they could sell them individually in baggies (like the one below).

 Super Megaforce
This Super Megaforce Ranger Key Set C has been spotted at Time for Play Magazine event in early October and has the Silver Super Megaforce Ranger on the front, meaning we will be getting the Sixth Rangers on the box art. This set will have Pink, Blue and Silver all translucent.
Pack Possibility: 100%

MIGHTY MORPHIN
Pink and Yellow are available in Metallic in SDCC exclusive set. But if they put them in a 3-pack, will they come with a Translucent Green or White? Depending if the Green or White Ranger will be on the box art.
News: C pack has YELLOW, translucent White & Red; D Pack has PINK, translucent Green & Blue.

ALIEN RANGERS
Since there are only 2 members left, maybe White And Yellow will come with Ninjor? SDCC 2014 Bandai booth has Ninjor on display and on a promo pic. White and Yellow Alien Rangers were also seen at SDCC 2014. If they do make a pack, most likely Ninjor will be on the box art.
News: B pack has Ninjor, White & Yellow Alien Rangers.



ZEO
Easy to deduce what keys they will put in a pack: Green, Gold and Pink. Pink and Gold were seen at the SDCC 2014 Bandai Booth. Green was promised with the 2nd wave but was replaced by Yellow. Most likely we will be getting Gold Ranger on the cover as he appeared on a PMC postcard advertising new keys. Pink will appear in the Toys R Us Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Ranger Key Set.
News: B pack has Green, Pink and Gold

TURBO
This is a toughy. Missing Rangers are Pink and Yellow, but also TokuNation spotted Phantom Ranger and Blue Senturion at SDCC 2014. So how will they put these 4? Pink was spotted at SDCC 2013 and 2014. Pink will come in the Toys R Us Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Ranger Key Set. There most likely won't be a Yellow key.
News: B pack has Phantom, Blue Senturion and Pink.

IN SPACE
This is easy to deduce: Silver, Pink and Yellow. All three were spotted at SDCC 2013. Only Yellow was spotted at SDCC 2014 of the unreleased keys. No Pink will be released. Yellow comes in pack. Silver in the 20 key set.
News: B pack has Yellow new, Silver in 20 Key Set


LOST GALAXY
This is easy to deduce: Yellow, Pink and Magna Defender. Pink was spotted at SDCC 2013 & 2014, Yellow and Magna Defender at SDCC 2014. Even though Pink Lost Galaxy showed up on the cons, it won't come with the Lost Galaxy Set B pack, it only comes with Magna Defender on the cover with the keys of Magna Defender, Yellow and translucent Green.
News: B pack has Magna Defender, Yellow and Green Translucent.

LIGHTSPEED RESCUE
Hopefully Pink, Yellow and Titanium, but Titanium will be part of the PMC exclusive. Titanium was not part of the keys on the wall nor banner. Only Red, Green and Blue were spotted on the wall.
Pack Possibility: Unlikely

[Quantum Ranger pic from Rangercrew blog, Pink and Green from TokuNation]
TIME FORCE
Best hunch: Pink, Yellow and Quantum Pink Time Force was spotted at SDCC 2014 and Quantum Ranger in a promo pic at SDCC 2014. Quantum will come in the Toys R Us Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Ranger Key Set. Set B comes with Pink, and translucent versions of Red and Green.
News: B pack comes with Pink, 20 key set with Quantum.



WILD FORCE
A no-brainer would be White, Yellow and Silver. White Wild Force was spotted at SDCC 2013, Lunar Wolf was spotted at both SDCC 2013 and 2014 and Yellow at SDCC 2014. White was seen on the banner. Looks like no White Ranger.
News: B pack comes with Yellow and Lunar Wolf and Translucent Black.

NINJA STORM
The best hunch would be: Crimson, Navy and Green. Crimson was spotted at SDCC 2013 and 2014. Green and Navy were both spotted at SDCC 2014.
News: B pack listing have been found but not what keys yet.

DINO THUNDER
Yellow and White are the only missing, they were spotted at SDCC 2014 (white on the wall and yellow on banner). They could be included with a Metallic or Translucent Red (some fans want Triassic Ranger but I doubt it). Yellow will appear in the Toys R Us Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Ranger Key Set.
News: B pack comes with White and Translucent Black and Red.

SPD
This is another hard one. Pink, Yellow, Omega, Shadow and Kat are missing. Shadow was spotted at SDCC 2013. Omega, Pink and Shadow were spotted at SDCC 2014. Yellow was seen on the banners. What they could do is 2 packs: Yellow, Pink and Omega; and Metallic Red, Shadow and Kat. Kat was included in Japan.
News: B pack listing have been found but not what keys yet.

MYSTIC FORCE
Best hunch: Pink, Blue and Solaris Knight. Pink and Blue were spotted in SDCC 2014 promo banner/poster. Solaris Knight, White Mystic Force Ranger and Wolf Warrior were all spotted at SDCC 2014. They could do two packs: one with White Mystic and Wolf Warrior and a Metallic Red. Or maybe they can do what they did with the Super Megaforce Set C and have Solaris Knight, Wolf Warrior and White Mystic because Wolf Warrior is a boy.
Pack Possibility (Pink/Blue/Gold): 60%
Pack Possibility (White/WW/Red?): 80%
News: B pack listing have been found but not what keys yet.

OPERATION OVERDRIVE
[Above picture from GoldKingRanger]
Pink and Yellow are rumored to come with the Feature Megazord. Yellow and Mercury Ranger was spotted at SDCC 2013 and 2014. A no-brainer would be Pink, Yellow and Mercury. Sentinel Knight was not seen but was included in Japan but who knows. Pink OO Ranger was not seen on the wall nor poster at SDCC.
News: B pack comes with Yellow and Silver and Translucent Red.


[Picture above from Tokunation.com]
JUNGLE FURY
Violet will be included in the PMC Exclusive. Violet and White were also spotted at SDCC 2014 wall. Missing are Violet, White, Dai Shi, Camile and Spirit Rangers. Who knows how they will handle this. Most likely we will get Violet and White in individual bags. It is a concern that only Violet is on the wall and not Titanium. Violet is also in the promo banner and Titanium is not. Most likely we won't get Spirit Rangers nor Dai Shi and Camile.
News: B pack has Violet, White and Translucent Yellow

 RPM
Missing are Green, Black, Gold and Silver. Silver, Green and Black were spotted at SDCC 2013. Green, Gold and Silver were spotted at SDCC 2014. Black was not spotted at SDCC 2014. Who knows how they will handle this as we are missing four keys. They could do a Gold/Silver pack with the hybrid key, Gold and Silver or so one with Green, Black and Gold.
News: B pack listing have been found but not what keys yet.


 SAMURAI
 Pink and Gold was spotted at SDCC 2013 and 2014. Gold, Pink and Lauren were spotted in the SDCC 2014 promo. Yellow has not been spotted yet, save for a prototype pic Razzle1337 found from TRU. Lauren has been in promos but yet to be released. Could be they release Gold on the cover art and Gold, Pink and Lauren or Yellow key. Or maybe they will come in individual bags.
News: B pack comes with Pink and Gold.

 Megaforce
Robo Knight comes with the Silver Spear. Robo Knight, Pink and Yellow were spotted in SDCC 2014 promo poster. Robo Knight will come in the TRU Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Ranger Key Set. We can still get another Megaforce pack with Robo Knight on the cover and come with Pink and Yellow or they screw us a give us a translucent blue instead of both girls.
Pack Possibility: Not Likely

The Dino Charge Megazord toys, everyone is complaining about the Purple Dricera (Triceratops), it is supposed to be Pink.


Other Dino Charge items are the morpher (a gun), 5 inch figure and the batteries.

I won't believe it until it is seen on Amazon or stores. We were tricked at the last SDCC. There are 98 keys on display, there is about 36 unreleased, there is so far 64 keys available. There are around 10 on the banner that have not be released and were not on display (Pink and Green Dairanger, White Wild Force, Lauren, Pink and Blue Mystic Rangers, Yellow SPD, Yellow Megaforce, Yellow Dino Thunder, and Quantum Ranger) I don't know what to think!!!! My nephew Jaiden is excited about Ninjor. Phantom Ranger and Titanium Ranger (as he doesn't exist in Sentai) did not get keys in Japan so they are US-exclusives.

The Mystery of the (Lauren) Red Samurai Ranger Key

 UPDATED 7/29/14 EST
 Like the Zeo Green Ranger, we have been teased about the female Red Samurai Ranger Key. It appears on the back of boxes of not only the Spring Wave but also Fall Wave. The Zeo Green Ranger Key was replaced by Yellow in the Fall Wave toy box backs, but not the Lauren Key. Now that is revealed at SDCC 2014 that we will be getting more keys, hopefully we will get Lauren!
All the Samurai Multipacks the male Red Samurai Ranger was released, not Lauren.
 
So far it looks like we will not be getting the Lauren key. My theory is that Bandai America didn't have a promotional image of the Jayden key in time for printing and didn't notice it needed changing when re-printing. They probably noticed the Zeo different by color but don't notice a extra stripe of color (not color blind but skirt blind).
 
The promo pic for the Super Mega Cannon had the female Red Ranger key but instead comes with the Red Samurai Ranger Key (Jayden). Many fans have just painted red on the male key.
 
BY THE WAY
Saban Brands will be giving out a translucent Mighty Morphin Green Ranger Key to best cosplays at SDCC. More information at Morphin Legacy. http://www.morphinlegacy.com/2014/07/sabans-sdcc-giveaways-super-mega-video.html#more-27656
