Got a Raph, Mike, and Donnie in-store today. Only one store within the default radius on the website showed them in stock, so I ran down there.

The lady working said she had ordered them from another store for her grandson, but Leo's swords broke when he opened it, so she returned the other 3. I'd rather hunt just a Leo than have to continue hunting all 4.

The question now is who’s going to be the guinea pig and buy these?

Anyone know if Phelan Porteous is still here because this is right up his alley.

I’ve taken a gamble and ordered. I’ll let you know in a month or 2.

That's some weird paint around the mouth area. They look pretty good but the paint is a pretty big giveaway.

I dont think its "legit KO", i see some guys ordered them but they'll probably receive movie playmates.
Also size of the SDCC exclusive box is definitely bigger than 5.91in x 3.94in x 1.97in

From what I could tell there’s an option to buy with or without packaging.

Love these figures ... but still have yet to open mine. Haha.

Hopefully, when we get our spare room painted up and we get our new workstation desk from IKEA, I'll get these guys out of their plastic prison and set up in a good home. For now, they just don't have any room, unfortunately.

Thanks. I didn't see that.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone who purchases these. That packaging would probably warrant a re-purchase from me. I just love the idea of having all four figures collected safely together inside some plastic packaging. Sick, I know.

I have pretty much given up trying to get Mike Don and Leo. Gamestop's site is always sold out of them and its usually only the 4 pack that is in stock. I also don't wanna waste time going to GS and them not having them.

Glad I pre-ordered Raphael when I did.

Well, if you see the 4-pack in stock, I feel like that would be worth the purchase to get the other three. You will have no problem selling the extra Raph.

I received my bootleg turtles today. Unfortunately unlike the mirage and vga sets these are more obviously ko versions. They were advertised as ko so it was always a gamble. Despite that these do come in the sdcc box with all the extras (canister and full pizza box). I don't own the legit versions but what stands out on these for me is some of the plastic trimming,the paint around the mouth and the eyes could be better. Being in the UK these cost me £51 so although a fraction of the price I'm still going to hunt down some legit ones and maybe keep this set at work.

I have a legit set but I might still pick one up just to do some customs or something. So did you get these off eBay or alixpress?

Aliexpress, but I've just looked and they don't appear to be on the site now. I'm sure they will be back up soon.

Wow, those bootlegs actually look pretty decent! I own the authentic ones, but if I had missed out, this is the route I would have taken.

Thanks for sharing pictures, ProdUK.

Well, I finally got a set of these awesome figures.

I want to take em out and mess around with them, and at the same time, I want them displayed in pack!!
Speaking of which, while I peer through the window, I can’t get over how well done these guys are. I’m glad that NECA chose another outlet for this set after the convention exclusive nature of the video box set.
I got all of Neca’s other Exc’ sets. The large ‘classic’ set in the toys case is my favorite set, probably of all time. This set of 4 come very very close to being my number 1 set.
