Napoleon & Attila, Traag & Granitor and the Ultimate Foot Soldier will be available on thenecastore.com tomorrow at 11am EST.

Limit of 2, which is kind of a bummer on the Foot Soldier.

Love ordering straight from NECA. What are the prices for the frogs and foot soldier again?

"Army builder"

Sort of like the Foot Soldier 2-Pack that... you know... had limited accessibility as a Target exclusive, was barely found and couldn't be find in replenishment after the wave dried up for the next waves.

I mean the thing is that the complaints, observations and areas for improvement regarding this line are so obvious that it borders on practical joke. It's not like there are a ton of "fringe" complaints about this line or something - this is all like "seriously wtf, who is managing this?"

Haha, looks like Team NECA is blasting off again!

I'm tempted to nab one or two Foot soldiers, and I guess if I nab a set of frogs it shouldn't make any difference on the shipping total. I expect the Frogs will sit a while on the Target shelves unless NECA reduces the quantity of their store allotments. The Rock Soldiers were listed for sale on the site for a 2-week preorder window back in April and still haven't shipped out!

So bizzare that the Casey/Foot and April/Foot 2-paks have never been sold via NECAStore and the Tragg/Granitor paks have now been listed twice!

So if you buy all 3, they just charge $15 total for US shipping?

Yeah shipping normally is just a flat $15.

Got both easily and I feel a bit dirty. Both of these were sets I said I'd skip when they were first announced, and now here I am not only buying them but also paying an extra $15.

Ugh. I'm ready for this line to get into the super obscure characters so I can stop.

Got them in my cart trying to check out and the whole site and all of the buttons are unresponsive. It's just sitting there.

-edit- After refreshing repeatedly, suddenly the cart screen loaded. Ordered one of each. Yay. Yay? ehhh.... yay.

If you get to cart and it won't go to check out, change the last bit of the url from "cart" to "checkout" and hit submit.

I managed to refresh it to death, but thank you for the tip. I'll remember for next time.

You got it. I learned that trick a while back when their site got wonky during exclusives sales. If it won't proceed you should be able to add the "/cart" to get to the cart and then also "/checkout" to get to checkout. Might make the difference in a pinch

Keep in mind you'd pay tax in stores. Tax on $82 for a lot of states is close to at least half the shipping cost.

Haha, that was exactly my justification for this order. The shipping for two sets doesn't hurt too bad when the lack of tax is factored in.

Just bought 2 Foot Soldiers. Once the Turtles in Disguise set hits I'll just need that Ultimate April they keep teasing and that will be everyone I want from the animated line

I never seen the Foot here so I got 1 and the Frogs 2 pack. 15 dollar shipping I figure would be gas money chasing around to find these.

I'm checking NECAStore's website at 12:55pm ET and both the Foot Soldier Deluxe and Napoleon/Attila Frog Packs have sold out to US regions. The Tragg/Granitor sets still seem to be in stock.

That's how I felt too, although I imagine the second punk frogs pack will be just as plentiful and mildly shelf-warming as the first one was.

If NECA wasn't going to keep up some form of continuous production of this line's earlier releases then, bare minimum each of these packs should've been numbered and limited from the beginning. Even if the numbering was as ridiculous as Playmate's Star Trek limits.....

Had an important appointment from 11-1 today.
Completely screwed up on the time zone conversion and so in my head it was going to be at noon but it was actually at 10 AM.
So I showed up 2 hours too late (took time mid-appointment)...
Had to order to my Canadian re-ship address instead who I will then have to pay to send it back here to me.
Still better than 200 fruitless target checks.
