Maybe. The deal is that you shouldnt panic if you didnt get them, at least they know they are oversold. No way they dont reproduce these for a while.

They are incredibly hard to keep in stock. Raphael is very oversold and will probably not be available until Fall. Donatello should be coming back in may. I’ll put you on the waiting list for 4 cases of each.

=============
And here is my order confirmation details:

Space Monkey Toys,

This notice is to confirm that we received your order after the preorder deadline. This order will only be fulfilled if there is additional stock that becomes available after the item's initial release. If no stock become available, we will not be able to fulfill your order.

=============

Note that he said I am on the WAITING LIST. This means that other retailers are the same.

Thanks for the update, Coro! I would have bought from you had I known you'd be getting more Don. Hopefully Kirin gets them in May too. Wonder what Kirin's cancellation policy is? Maybe I'll still try to order from you as I was pleased with the speed of the SH Figuarts I got from ya.

If you dont have your orders in yet, you need to scoop them up on the secondary right now. Dont panic if you got them in earlier.

Someone on eBay must have read this thread. Another one just got swooped up. Sold for $220 according to the email I got because I had made an offer on it.

While I agree, I would suggest that these figures justify that price more than, say, any given Hot Toys figure, and these days those tend to retail for more like $240.

Look in my world these are worth 220 easy, but I have them in hand and can say that. The RETAIL on these is 99.99.

I only have Donatello, but that value is staggering to me. NECA is the best.

*Rooish* · 03-28-2017, 10:45 PM

Y'all need to stop with justifying the crazy inflated prices. Even if they are totally worth that, it would be nice if these remain affordable to fans.

While I agree with you, I have several Hot Toys items and I think these NECA figures are of the same caibre.

I think these are an expensive, but amazing value.

For the size/articulation/items you get, NECA is giving us a very affordable figure. This are a mid-end figure. As Coro said, something like Hot Toys, Sideshow etc those are usually outside of majority fans hands. For me personally, these are just under what they offer as a figure. Some thing more affordable will not come in this size or articulation which really make these figures even better.

*Rooish* · 03-28-2017, 11:25 PM

I know, that's why this is the first time I've been able to get in on something like this. I'd rather it stay somewhat affordable for people.

I considered getting both, but budget and space issues killed that pretty quickly.

I wish someone could decide for me.

I once faced the same dilemma because I could only justify one of the Sideshow turtles. I went with Raph. The way I figure it, he is the most likely to go off on his own, so he would display best on his own.

Given this is exactly how events unfold in the 1990 film, I think that's your best bet in this situation also.

Good luck with your decision.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the whole thread to realise you had already made the decision. I think you chose well... but what a tough decision.

No, I appreciate the input.

Makes me feel better about the purchase!

It looks like Amok Time has Raph in stock:

d_osborn · 03-29-2017, 10:34 AM

Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered.

*Rooish* · 03-29-2017, 10:58 AM

Argh. So the question now is, order from AmokTime or believe BBTS that he'll be in stock within 10 days? Is BBTS known for not keeping good track of numbers? Edit: Nevermind, they don't seem to ship to Canada. Oh wells.

*VaughnMichael* · 03-29-2017, 01:08 PM

Thanks for the heads up!! I just placed an order as well!
Man I've never had such a hard time getting a figure!
I hope it doesn't take too long to get here.

Btown · 03-29-2017, 01:23 PM

I just got my Raph and good lord. While I've had figures like this from other movie lines from NECA. This is hands down my favorite NECA figure they've done in this size. The likeness is amazing. I need Leo now. lmao
