In the meantime, here is what I found for codes:
A07047MTN Dimension X Raphael
A08047MTN Vision Quest Donatello
A10047MTN Translucent Michelangelo
A11047MTN Super Shredder Leo
A12047MTN Bebop
A13047MTN Fishface
A14047MTN Foot Elite
A15047MTN Mystic April
Hopefully I can get this kinda luck on my way up to Eagle River next week. I haven't seen those in the Chicago burbs and figured they wouldn't be found. Did you buy them all because I'm trying to find Raph, and I would make the detour if that Walmart still had them.

I did buy all of the ones I found at the first store which was the Sun Prairie WI location. The second store where I found them was Portage WI. I bought only Bebop and Fishface there. I've been watching Brickseek almost daily to see if more show up. thus far the Portage store has sold about half of theirs and only one other store even has them listed, but with zero inventory.

In case anyone is still looking to find tmnt nickelodeo figures, check your local Kroger. I found 3 figures @ $2.99 each.

I found tons of Tales, Dimension X, Micros and other stuff at both Ollie's and Boscov's today - but the biggest score of all was at Boscov's where I found my first-ever MUCKMAN in the wild!!

Not exactly a sighting, but having finally received the Good Smiles Kraang Statue a few weeks ago, I opened up all of the villains statues last night and submitted the codes for the Aluminum art print. Surprisingly, they already sent me a shipping notice for it today! That was quite a pleasant surprise after having waited for quite some time for the Turtles print to show up previously.

There are currently 30 MOC Muckman listed on eBay and only 5 loose incomplete Scratch.

Completed sales for the last couple months on Muckman shows Hundreds of MOC Mucks sold and only 16 of Scratch.

I’m thinking with all the Mucks currently being found at departments stores that Muck is definitely not the new Scratch.

Muck does have a high demand but the supply seems to be keeping up with it nicely. Prices have dropped from $200/$300 or more down to $60.

It will be interesting to see in the future when the kids that enjoyed the Nick show are older and want figures from the show if Muckman climbs back up in price. But that’s like 20 or 30 years from now.

Well, when I posted that is was the time where there were very limited issues of Muckman floating around out there and at that time it seemed like Muckman was tracking to be the new "Scratch." Of course this is no longer the case as Muckman has exploded all over different department stores within the past 1-2 months. So yeah at that time I was right but now my statement holds no weight.

All in all, I never expected to see Muckman of all the figures to show up at Ross and Marshalls.

Picked up a Usagi at Ollies. This is one of my favorite figures, and couldn't pass up having one to keep in box. I noticed today that he has black eyebrow over his right eye. My earlier one does not. It is there just unpainted. The one form Ollies is painted.

Just want to point out that 19.99 in 1990 or 1991 dollars is around $37.50 in today's money as well! So yeah while expensive, I buy a lot of 4K steelbook blu-rays from best buy and they tend to run around $34.99 so it's roughly comparable if you consider most people didn't buy back then... they rented. Unless they really wanted to watch it a lot.

Renting tapes and copying them, or borrow someone else's pirated copy of a vhs tape was super common and something I remember doing a lot as a kid. Hell, one friend of mine when I was in grade school, I would spend the night at his house because his parents were SUPER in to making VHS tape copies. They had walls full of copied tapes and a big catalog where they tracked what movies they had copies of... really was something.

Also note that this was after 'rental pricing' was phasing out, where a VHS tape would cost around 80 or 90 dollars for a good part of the 80s.

Not a toy sighting, but I've noticed the Muckmans on Amazon are at a "affordable price" now. I know 50 is still too much to most, but

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...&condition=new

Considering these were in 200's-300's and even higher on Amazon at one point, that huge price drop is solid, I think.

Regarding Muckman... multiple people have been finding Muckman at Ross stores lately at super low prices. Including a buddy of mine outside of this forum. Worth trying if you need one.
