Post all toy sightings here! - Page 9

*Kid Icarus* · 01-24-2003, 04:45 PM

All of the stores here (Target, Shopko, K-Mart, WalMart, TRU, KB... and i think there was one more.) were sold out a few days after their first shipment

.

I got the turtles, Shredder, and Foot Soldier on the first day i saw them in 2 trips, then went back the next day and grabbed Splinter.

This really is good news. I expected them to kinda flop.

If you're in the Oshawa, Ontario region, Wyld Star Comics has a wide selection of the toys, at least four of each figure. I bought the last Shreeder though.

Sauron · 01-26-2003, 03:33 PM

Yesterday in Seattle,at Target, I found about 7-9 of each turtle,2 Splinters,5-6 Shredders, and 3 foot soldiers (2 of which I bought). They're probably mostly gone now though...

Hey motuthunder! It'sa me, Co-Lec-Tor!

Nice to see another he-man.org person here.

The Toys-R-Us in Lake Grove on Long Island NY had only 5 Turtles figures left (3 Raph's & 2 Don's I think), a few giant turtles (had no interest in them, so just glanced at 'em quickly) & alot of Sewer Sliders & Shell Cycles. TRU charges $6.99 a figure & $10.99 for the vehicles. I used almost all of what was left on my TRU gift card to buy the Sewer Slider, so I got to save some money.

The Kay-Bee Toy store in the Smithhaven Mall also had TMNT toys in, but in larger numbers. No vehicles from what I could see, but they DID have all 4 turtles & 3 Shredders. I picked up a Shredder & a Mike figure so now all I have left to buy figure wise is Donatello & Leonardo. Kay-Bee charges $5.99 a figure, which is pretty impressive as it's the exact same price they charged for the original TMNT figures back in the day.

Edit: Oh, nearly forgot, I went to the above mentioned stores on Sunday, Jan. 26th (aka yesterday).

BigThew · 01-27-2003, 04:18 PM

Walmart by Park Meadows Mall in Colorado had the 3 turtles (1 Raph, 3 Don's, 2 Mikey's) and one splinter...each $5.88

i took the last raph and splinter, there is stul some don's and mikey's, and they have the shell cycle there

TRU by park meadows has all the 12" turtles and all the vehicles except the Van

*Kameko* · 01-28-2003, 05:42 PM

Had all four turtles here in TX, but they're now sold out. They still have the bike, though. And I never spotted Shredder, Splinter, or Foot Soldiers. *sigh* Maybe I'll find them when I go to the mall. And mom will think I'm nuts because I'll go on a buying frenzy. Honestly, if I spot Splinter or Shredder, I will hurt people to get to it.

They better stay outta my way.

PhoenixFire · 01-28-2003, 06:10 PM

Our local Target down here in California just got the Battle Shell for $19.00,
I finally found all of the figures (shredder was tuff!), Leo's gotta be the best sculpt, just look at him!

Mike · 01-28-2003, 06:50 PM

Just got them off layaway from Wal*Mart, and get this: I stopped by the toy department and notice every figure they had but ONE Mikey was gone! I am so glad I put 'em on layaway...I dont think anywhere here has gotten the Shredder, Foot, or Splinter figure.

Snailman · 01-29-2003, 12:00 AM

Damn, with everyone have such problems finding Splinter, Shredder & the Foot Solider, I'm glad I snagged mine when I saw 'em.

Actually, the only reasons I even got the Foot Solider when I saw him was:

1) I heard from an eBay auction description that he was 1 per case.

and...

2) I wanted to get at least one to make my searching that more easier on me (in the first toyline I got just one Foot Solider & that was it until I was older & found eBay).

tmntpower2003 · 01-29-2003, 01:17 PM

i saw at least three of all the turtles, two shredder and one splinter and one foot soldier today at my local target so i put the foot soldier behind some old stuff so i could get it later along w/ the battle shell b/c i was busy buying the huge 13inch Hulk movie figure. In the hulk movie they said he grows w/ rage and at some point in the movie reaches 15 ft

cable04 · 01-29-2003, 02:41 PM

i need to go shopping...

*Stone Ill* · 01-29-2003, 05:02 PM

I wish I was old enough to drive (Only 2 more years!) so I could just go out and look for the figures by myself rather than pesturing someone to go to Wal-Mart or Toys'R'Us with me.

Cool,I'd like to see that!

Maybe that's why he's so out of proportion to the car he comes with.

**HorseTechie** · 01-30-2003, 10:40 AM

Hrmm.. I need to check more places. Targets all over Indy are clean sold out of ALL the 5" figures. But I was happy to find that one store had the Shell Cycle for $10, so I got that.

Still need Leo and Mikey out of the 4 turtles. I'm not a big collector, so 4 turtles and a motorcycle is all I want.

*Stone Ill* · 01-30-2003, 11:47 AM

All I want is at least one Turtle..(One 5" and and one 12" I think it is) and I might get the other 3, but I only want 1.

Wingnut · 01-30-2003, 03:39 PM

i added one more minion to my foot army(im now at four

)

*Stone Ill* · 01-30-2003, 05:02 PM

One for each turtle? Heh..Do the Foot Soldiers have those stubby legs like they do in the pictures (I mean, do they look stubby? I know they're bent)
