Reason Why Saban is skipping Go-buster

Here's the thing, I'm not too sure about the monster suits being deteriorated, but I do know there are a few key reasons Neo-Saban wants to skip GB.

First off, there would be a helluva lot of footage that would need editing unless they manage to make the term "Buster" work in the context of the season.
Secondly, there would need to be an original morphing sequence, which shouldn't be too hard but it's something that they would take into account.
Thirdly, the story itself is pretty hit and miss with a lot of people, some love it, others didn't care much for it. Couldn't you see Saban being in the latter category?
Fourth and probably the biggest reason, the toy sales weren't exactly something to be proud of, they kinda bombed from what I've heard. I mean what's there to get related to the season? The Morphin Brace, the figures, the weapons, and the Megazords. There's no gimmick to generate sales.

Now Kyoryuger on the other hand solves the biggest problem, the toy sales. Now keep in mind, Power Rangers is always competing with other series when it comes to toy sales.
TMNT, Lego, Marvel, WWE, and Star Wars. The latter 4 will pretty much always have their fanbase so that's a lot for PR to compete against, and Kyoryuger's gimmick is gonna be their best bet to stand a chance against them

Also something to keep in mind, there's a new Jurassic Park coming out next year, so any rub PR can get from kids potentially liking dinosaurs again is a factor too.
