Ohhh, well the only set that is scheduled release date of February 28th 2020 is Bebop & Rocksteady. There never has been any details as far as Metalhead being released from Zavvi's website

It appears that more Bebop and Rocksteady 2 packs on February 28th, wave 2/5 is Shredder/ Krang due on May 30th. Wave 3 is August 30th which is Casey Jones/ battered Foot Soldier, April O' Neil/ damaged Foot Soldier, Slash/Leatherhead. Not interested in the Foot Soldiers, but I will go for three villain sets.

Yeah man, I never understood that. I mean - the TMNT were all easy cast - the same molds either reused or with resculpted mouths. All they had to do with Genghis Frog was repaint the exact same cast four different times and it would've done the trick....

NECA seems to be into saving money by reproducing the Turtles and now Shredder and Krang reparring them. Not to mention four different releases of a single foot soldier whole or damaged and a fifth to itself. Though I admit pairing them better. What I am getting at is if NECA likes to save money I can see them doing this and giving us the Punk Frogs after a couple more original characters are produced. Two sets with the same molds in one release.

Agreed completely. I'd buy it. NECA frogs would be a series of repaints that made perfect sense versus the "digital" repaints and the Foot Soldiers which are going to become more like consumer abuse than line enhancements.

After awhile it is going to turn the customer base away. I am glad I sat out of the first line release because of the repairing ups released shortly afterward. I would not have bought both the Turtle pairs had I bought wave one. I assume most are like that. People don't want to spend $52 for duplicates.This is why Bebop and Rocksteady are so popular and Slash and Leatherhead are getting so much attention. I hope sales will show this and NECA understands.

Wave 3 is scheduled for Spring, so probably early Summer

Not really.... i am planning to skip Casey Jones.
And i'm undecided with April.... maybe i'll get her because she's too pretty to skip.

So does this mean Bebop and Rocksteady are being restocked? Are there any other sites that are taking preorders for B&R? Has anyone preordered from Zavvi before, what was your experiences? I saw a lot of bad reviews for that site. Thanks!

Kind of wondering the same thing. Would be great if we could just order these now and have peace of mind that we'll actually get them eventually.

I wouldn't pre-order from them. They will get these much later than release anyway

Going for season one characters only myself, space is also an issue.

I never preordered from them so I will let you guys know how it goes. I preordered wave 3 cuz I dont have the energy or money to waste on gas toy hunting for wave 3 after the B&R release. Target sucks balls online & @ the stores.

well we can always hope that NECA steps up with future waves in terms of stocking in store and online
their best bet would be to do pre-orders ( ahem, Super 7)

Let's be honest.... Casey is a sub character.
He's not even part of the original playmates 10 back character.
And i don't need another foot soldier.

crazy talk..Casey is part of the 1989 wave, which was another great continuation of the line of characters. Casey has quite the following and is an important part of the "good guys" team.

Thanks for that! I am kind of confused about the neca wave 3 availability though. Are they exclusive to only target again and are B&R getting reissues with other sites?
