Still trying to figure out if I should delay getting the Portal (to save money on shipping), as NECA just sent a reminder message that the preorder will close in 2 weeks. I don't want to forget about it.

Turtle Tuesday, and I don't see anything new on the NECA store and I doubt they will have anything there, given the massive Haulathon reveal. Only Colossus Napoleon, Bugman (perhaps, packed with Electrozapper) and some comic book (e.g. 4 turtle set will likely be a comic con exclusive)/last ronin figures remain. Ultimate April will likely be available in April.

The only thing I could see possibly popping up on the NECA site by the time the portal order window ends is if they reopen preorders for the van, but I have a feeling they will intentionally wait till that ends.

Yeah, I'm likely going to go ahead and order it soon.

Sewer Set Logistics

Does anyone know how the upcoming Sewer Dios actually connect.

I currently have two street scenes dedicated for my toon figures. Does the sewer sets (collectively) take up one street scene or two street scenes worth of real estate. What happens if there are multiple streets scenes (e.g. 2 or 3), is there a generic sewer connector piece to harmonize all the dioramas. It would be odd if you have two sewer living room sets or if one street scene is situated at sewer level while the other one is adequately stacked, vertically?

Anyone have any clues to how this setup works?

No clue about the sewer set but I guarantee you they will open up preorders again on the street scene.

It looks like the 3 parts of the sewer lair will take up a little more than 2 street scene dioramas.

not yet, the ones i talked to were toy associates and not the actual neca vendor. so i'm trying one last time tomorrow to see if my main store is stocked and if not then i'll try online for friday and even then it's going to be for the spider gremlin and toon stuff cause i'm fairly certain bbts will have the mirage and archie stuff on preorder later on.

That picture definitely helps, but I do wonder if the pieces will actually latch on smoothly since the SDCC display version is a bit disconnected.

I was able to find everything (in Houston, TX) except:

Black and white Usagi
Shredder Clones
Dirk and Mona Lisa
Tall Thug and Short Thug


I got an extra of:

Grunt and Jersey Red
Chakahachi and Lotus
Last Ronin Rogue Derelict

If anyone would like to trade me any of those first four, I would trade any of the last three. Not looking to scalp them/get scalped. Just want to trade.

The only stuff I saw live on Target this morning were Bebop/Rocksteady, Chakahachi & Lotus and then Ray Fillet. Right now only Chakahachi & Lotus are sold-out and you can absolutely bet you'll see those on Target shelves at some point.

I never saw the "accessory set" available. That must've sold out in seconds for some reason.

Bit the bullet and ordered my portal, I was holding out to see if neca would put out any other items to save on shipping. But alas no luck, I expect they will announce something as soon the pre-orders for the portal close lol

Just thought Id share spotted Bebop and Rocksteady on Aliexpress. I know these guys might still be must-haves missing from some collections. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...andl_shipto=US

I figure it was somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute. Missed it cause I went top down and added Mighty Bebop and Rocksteady first. Oh well, win some lose some. Maybe I'll get lucky in the store.

I have a feeling the in store stuff is done in most places. I say that because the five different targets I have gone to no longer have the haulathon signs up over the the displays and in some cases other product has replaced it.

Yeah. I figure I missed the accessory set at mine. Recovering from thyroid surgery and didn't get out until Sunday. They still had a few of the others. They are pretty good at only putting items out on or after street dates though. So if things were to be held until next Friday they probably are. Never know when a return might get reshelved too. Not like I don't go there anyway.
