Cancel all pre-orders from wherever you got them from, and order directly from NECA via their Amazon or eBay site and get your figure FASTER and no ****ing worrying about, "oh will it ship", "i preordered it from here or there" ********.
No bullcrap. I did not preorder Don, and as soon as Don went on sale from NECA, I ordered 'em. He was on my doorstep a few days later.

It pains me to see people still waiting for their Donny.

Do it.

When it comes to these figures I do order from their eBay page
I just preorder from BBTS as a backup in case I need it that way I know I get him

They must be getting pretty sick and tired of me cancelling my orders lol cause I did it for Don and Raph and will probably do it for Leo too but it's nice to have a backup

Leo coming with an unbroken canister of ooze is lame. I guess they're saving the good stuff for the accessory pack?

I laugh when I hear people complaining about parts reuse with these. You are getting an amazingly painted and sculpted figure for $100 that is a dead ringer on likeness. That's still a steal in my book.

I like that he explained why there were duplicate hands in there. Vertical and horizontal articulation.

Can't wait any longer. So not patient.

Preordered Leo from BBTS!

I'm just curious here. Where did you guys hear Raph shipped already? I've been looking at their shipping calendar and it has always said February 27th for Raph.

Coro are you getting Raph on your site?

I said it before and I'll say it again.... I love being a tur-...... No, that wasn't it. It was: I always have issues with NECA figures.

My Raph didn't lose a sai, but he did sure as hell lose both eyes.

That means shipping to retail... NOT ebay or amazon NECA stores... They always put them up a week or two early before shipping to retail.

Ya i saw it on Neca facebook as a suggested post that they were for sale on ebay and amazon sold by Neca.

When I bought donny last year it was the same way. I bought it on Amazon and then 2 weeks after it arrived my pre order came in from Entertainment Earth

Yeah, I agree. I'm almost positive that the looks for Donatello and Raphael were very similar as far as the suits go. I think Leo and Mikey had similar shoulder build and I think it's reflected in the group shots. I dig this review though....was waiting to see more come up so these are awesome.

I knew that meant ship to retail. That's why I was wondering how people were already getting shipping notices. Now I know.

Checked out Donnie.
Loose left arm. Looks like the shoulder peg connecting to the body is longer than the other because the arm is slightly protruding. Can't even see the peg on the other shoulder.
Right ankle was tight, could't tilt it far down. Warm water was a quick fix.

IDK, just gonna keep it sealed till they respond to my messages. Sent them a tweet and a message through eBay. I shook the box around to hear if any pieces are loose inside the head... nothing. I'm hoping they can just send me a new head, instead of an exchange, so I can go ahead and open the figure up.
