Damn, what are you guys complaining about. Just buy them online. I live in the Netherlands and have no difficulties to get the figures I want. You must be happy to live in the country where NECA is active, people like me must import everything.

Leatherhead FTW!

I made some changes to Bebop:

1. I repainted his eyes - I know he will be wearing his shades most of the time but all black eyes bothered me (I added solid black pieces to cover the holes)
2. I painted his pony tail purple - this was not wrong as it changes depending on the episode but I prefer it like that.
3. I gave him drillgun from old Playmates Bebop and just painted more cartoony

Casey and leatherhead are way too small.
If they packaged Casey with a foot, that will be the first pair of figures i'll be passing in this line. Not feeling it.

I agree, NECA should be prepared for the demand of the awesomeness they have created. The supply should meet the demand, win win

NECA is not good at this.
So I’m guessing I wasn’t beat to the punch tonight when I went and found an entire case of series 2 but not one B&R. For a min I was mad that I didn’t stop sooner but likely wouldn’t have mattered. Worker said the figures showed up as discontinued on his handheld pricer and said there were -5 in store...meanwhile on the shelf you couldn’t fit another 2 pack

Not everyone has PayPal or a credit card but it's cute that you think they might.

Just sayin'.

Target's Website doesn't have any neca TMNT stuff so just like actual target stores they have jack ****. Than it leaves Ebay with all those asshole scalpers. so buying online isn't easier.

I agree, I want Bebop and Rocksteady so bad but I'm not willing to pay double the in-store price to someone on ebay.

The **** part of this all is that with the announcement of wave 3 I can almost guarantee it is gonna leave me (and I'm sure others) resulting to paying scalper prices eventually because we have no other way of getting them.

When wave 2 was announced the very small amount of wave 1 figures I saw immediately disappeared from Target shelves. I went into a local collectors shop the other day and they have a couple left over sets of Raph/Foot for $89 each! At the rate Bebop/RS are actually showing up in stores vs the amount being scalped, I have a feeling by the time wave 3 hits they are going to be a hell of alot more expensive than paying scalpers price now.

I don't even want to imagine how much people are going to have to pay in order to get a full set of wave 3 figures. I could care less about the Foot Soldiers, they are cool and all but I already have the Foot from the SDCC collector set. I just want Casey, April and the Slash/Leatherhead set. It kind of sucks to be a collector of such a hard to find toyline and it almost destroys the fun of it.

Are wave 1 figures impossible to find in stores now?
When next wave hits, do the previous wave disappear?

Thanks bud, I think even without the changes he looks great but I like to add all the small details.

How can someone NOT have a credit card or PayPal these days?

No at all, I wasn't planning to add any more Foot Soldiers as i don't have the display space but now I will have to add at least 3 (if I can get them) I want to pick up 2 April sets to customise one and keep the other one mint. I read somewhere the Krang vs Shredder is the 4th set in this wave but I'm not sure if this is 100% confirmed.

I also made the helmet for Rocksteady in similar style to go with Neca's Rock.

I know that's it's usual to have a credit card in the USA. In my country it's not and quite irrelevant. So PayPal is a cery good alternative for me.

Give me one good reason for not having a account on PayPal.

Great. I hope you know it soon. You would make me very happy. I completes the look and feel of Rocksteady!

I can't say for certain, but I haven't seen them in any Target since. As soon as Wave 2 was on shelves Wave 1 was gone. The only place I have seen them was in a Collector's Shop that resells new and vintage toys.

This looks great! Did you sculpt this or did you repaint the helmet for the Playmates Classic Collection Rocksteady?

My local store restocked a few wave 1 sets when wave 2 finally hit their shelves. I assume my Target is not special.

Agreed. Even though I liked the season 1 helmet, the other seasons without the helmet made me get used to the look. I love Cam Clarke's take on Rocksteady's voice and I'm glad that B&R weren't sporadic characters like Baxter.
