I'm visiting my parents in Atlanta. I went to Target and they did have some of the Rise of TMNT action figures. Surprisingly they didn't have a big selection. I saw about 3 Leo's, 2 Don's, 1 Mike, 1 Meatsweats, 1 Origami Foot Soldier and 1 Baron Draxum. They all look great though. I pick up a Mike and Don. I'm going to give the Mike to my nephew as a Christmas present and the Donny is for me.

Wooow, Muckman is giving me nightmares these days. lol

I did really want him, but I somewhat over-traded for mine.

So far the Pizza Points stuff is alright. It would be great to see some exclusive figures that can only be obtained with points. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You can get all 4 comicon turtles if you join their club and pay $15 apparently.

They have more paint than the retail ones but only come with their weapons and not their charged forms and Donnie and Leo do not come with skateboards.

Hmm, that is somewhat tempting. I already have the SDCC Leonardo from that set, but I would consider getting the entire set after joining the club. Thanks for the heads up!

Is the set of comic con turtles a reward or just an incentive to get the $15 membership. If the latter, that’s super cheap.

My Walmart finally has them stocked. Took pity and did bring my boy home, but they did have every figure.

I take it April is low in number per shipment? These couldn't have been on the shelf long, not sure any had been bought yet, but only saw one April among them.

I just did the math. Muckman still gonna set a person back over $100.00. Of course if you are getting the toys regardless its a mute point.

It looks like pay $15 and you get all 4 + an ID card and goodies.

Site says it won't be ready until the 18th. Maybe they had a huge pile of unsold stock and thought it be easier to liquidate with their club.

Still not a single drop at the Target over here. They are doing renovations, though, so maybe they're waiting. The remodeling hasn't affected the toy section, though, so I'unno. It's a small section but all the aisles are fully stocked, so I can't even see what they would move to make room for the TMNT toys. The bulk of it is WWE, Marvel, and Star Wars, and you know none of that is gonna be giving up any shelf space.

I have no idea how franchise stores decide on an individual store level what gets the shelf space. I *do* know that at this one store, both the Nick 2012 and BayTurtles figures simply didn't move. They had a big chunk of the aisle set aside for TMNT stuff, but it all got marked to Clearance fairly quickly. Is it at all possible that individual stores get to say, "Nah, don't send us a lot of ____, they don't move"? I'm genuinely asking, I have no idea how that stuff works.

I'm pretty sure I want the lair playset so I can repaint it for a display piece, but I'm definitely not going all over the place looking for it. So it'd actually be pretty nice if "my" Target got the toys. At this point I legit can't figure out why they don't have them yet, since other places are getting them.

Keep in mind that the street date was just a couple of days ago. It's quite likely that they may have just had to put off creating a home for the TMNT merch if the staff that does resets are busy with setting shelves for the remodel. You should be able to go to Target's website and look up the toys to see if they are listed as being in stock at your local store.

Yeah, I agree, if the store staff have anything to do with the remodel then they may just be too short handed to deal with all the stock at the moment. And if the toy dept is packed with other stuff there might not be too much incentive to prioritize that at the moment. Esp if they will have to take time to rearrange things to make room. But that's only my guess.

Hopefully they'll have yours out soon. I haven't looked at Target over here in DE (I think you aren't really all that far away in Jersey?) but my Walmart only just now finally got stuff out. (I guess maybe they played by the rules on the release date.) However it is just figures and role play weapons. No playset or vehicles yet.

I'll be over in the area not far from our Target (Christiana Mall) tomorrow for a work meeting, if I can remember to do it maybe I can swing in and see what ours have. If the delay has anything to do with shipments by chance, I imagine ours are probably on similar timing if you're not all that far from me.

Indigo: Yeah I'm like 90 minutes from you. I used to wrestle in Delaware a lot.

All I care about is the Lair playset. Couldn't care less about the rest, but that thing would look pretty spiffy with a little bit of touching-up.
