They are available in several countries online through Amazon and Toys R Us.

Yeah I know, but they just ship them from the States, so they're pricey as hell. Via Amazon you have shipping costs like 20€. So one Battleshell Turtle comes close to 55€ a pop. That's ridiculous!

That's why I want to know when they'll be released in Europe...importing them from the States doesn't make sense to me.

But thanks for your reply anyways.

When you spend over GBP 25.00 on Amazon UK shipping is free to Europe.

In other European news, looks like Panini is releasing a Sticker Collection, at least in France and The Netherlands.

Nope, unfortunately you still have to pay 6 GBP shipping & handling to Germany, even when you're ordering for 55 GBP. But that's a way better deal than the one I got from german Amazon. So thanks a lot for your helpful information

Sorry, I thought the free shipping offer was for all of Europe.
Seems stupid that it isn't though.

Really cool, thanks for sharing! I noticed on the panini website you can buy the complete set for 30 euros.

Just a heads up, the Dogpound, Fishface and Metalhead figures have arrived in The Netherlands. Saw them at Top 1 Toys today.

These have arrived in Belgium too. I also saw foot ninja and April (haven't seen them anywhere until now). The turtle classics are also in the Dreamland toy store. Lots was sold out, this is a good sign!

Intertoys in The Netherlands now has the two Mutagen Ooze vehicles online and in stores (€19,99).

I visited two stores, the first one had the Drop Copter, the other had the Sewer Cruiser. Only one of each, which I bought.
No Ooze canisters or figures though.

Really? Although they were a lot rarer, some stores in Belgium have had Foor Ninja and April from the beginning. In fact, April was the first figure I bought.

Up until now, I've only seen Dogpound and MetalHead from wave two. No Fishface yet.
Sadly, the new deliveries in Belgium seem badly balanced...
Looks like the stores get one of the new figures for every boxful of wave 1 figures, mainly the Turtles themselves.
I've been to a store last week that looked as if they'd just received twenty figures of each basic Turtle and only one MetalHead...

Yeah, I never saw April and Foot Ninja until I got back from my vacation in September. Suddenly, I saw them everywhere

I saw a fish face toy in only one toystore up till now. Seems to be harder to find than the rest. Hopefully wave 3 will hit stores soon now.

Checked my local ToysXL this week and I saw April and the foot ninja on the shelf for the first time. They only had one of both so I guess they are one per case. Which is kind of low I think. For the foot ninja in particular because he is a character you can army build.
Also the first time I got to see the Sewer Lair. I think it was 130 euros. Dilemma. I know I'll like it but I don't know if I want to spend that ammount on a playset I wouldn't even know where to put. But I DO want it... This is going to keep me up at night.
I actually went in looking for Dogpound or Fishface but found neither. :/

ToysXL does have a nice offer if you want to buy LEGO. If you buy 3 sets you get the cheapest one for free. So if you've been waiting for a price drop for the LEGO sets this is a pretty good deal. These sets might be discontinued when the new ones come out.

Went to Lille, France yesterday and in one of the malls toystore JouéClub had a cool Nick TMNT display set up...

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:


Basically they sold pretty much what they're selling everywhere else... And like everywhere else, the basic action figures consisted of LOADS of wave one Turtles with the occasional Metalhead, April or Shredder.
However, what this JouéClub store sold that we'd never seen before were small plush balls based on the original Ninja Turtles cartoon...
We ended up getting a Mikey ball.



Also, the Lille TRU store got the 4 'Flinger' Turtle figures out. First time I'd seen those.

Actually, we'd set out to get our hands on a Dogpound but without success. Both him and Fishface remain extremely rare out here.
