I went to a Walmart in Muskego WI and they had nothing....they did have the rack price tags out for the TMNT Basic Figures but they were all bare shelves.

I stopped by two Target stores tonight and found the entier line spread across the two stores. The first had an end cap set up with the regular and giant figures as well as the bikes and Turtle Tank. They are also setting up a 4 foot section in the action figure aisle that will have everything, including the Epic Sewer Lair. Unfortunately the first store couldn't find the lair so I had to drive out to the second one to buy that.

Chicago Target
Stopped by my local Target here in Chicago after work today. No figures were on display, but found the section of empty pegs with the price tags/barcodes. That was useful for the DPCI of the basic assortment, which is 087162369. Used that info with Brickseek to confirm they were in stock at the store. Had employees look in back and they found me one of each basic figure minus Splinter, which I’ve now ordered via Amazon.

If it makes a difference to anyone, it appears that the basic assortment figures are shipping both with and without the Pizza Point stickers. So if you prefer the cleaner look to the blister cards, you might want to check at Target stores. I found the stickerless version at two different Targets.
Edit I don't usually have the patience for BBTS' Pile O Loot. But with a delivery like this today aI can start to see the appeal. Last edited by tmntman; 10-10-2018 at 06:55 PM. |

Interesting little find today at Family Dollar. Playmates produced another series of mini figure 2 packs for them. Oddly, they are all based on the 2012 series designs. So they repackaged the Turtles from the Toys R Us Promo 4 pack from 2013 and then paired each Turtle with another figure. I found three sets Mikey with a Kraang, Leo with Splinter and Raphael with Foot Soldier. (No sign of a set with Donatello.)

Interesting. I like to collect little Kraangs ('cause they look so much like Utroms in their exosuits) so I'll have to keep my eye out for the Mikey pack. Don't care for those turtles, though.

So I just found out today that there are already two variants on Meat Sweats, one with a small hand and the other with tentacles. Any idea which one might prove to be the rarer find of the two? I've only seen the small hand Meat Sweats in stores.

Word so far is the tentacle one is a Canadian release, not sure it's been spotted stateside.

I believe that the UK has also been getting the larger tentacle.

Just picked up Meat Sweats at Kohl’s, $7.99 with their sale. It’s a minor savings, but still.

The Meat Sweats with tentacle is available in the states. I found one at my local Walmart I'm in IL. Be on the look out it looks to be shipping with the 2nd wave of figures in the toy aisles not on the aisle displays.

Have the storage shell or 2nd wave of figures (albearto) already shipped? My local Walmart still only has the first wave stocked

My local Target had various Rise sets (costumes, vehicles, Lair set) on sale for 30%, but not the standard figures.
I also found one of the new Tendril hand variants of Meat Sweats at a local Wal-Mart. The store had multiple Meat Sweats, but I only noticed one tendril-hand the rest were the early run small hand version.

I just joined the new TMNT fan club and paid 15 dollars forthe exclusive membership and they're supposed to be sending me 4 TMNT figures which I'm guessing we'll just be Leo Mikey Raph and Donnie. Has anyone received these figures yet and how are they different from the ones in the store that I already have?
