I think because of the high price tag that decision would only be made after the release of the colored 4 is reviewed

Sole reason why I've missed on so many posters. At least with th first turtle they didn't do that

Looks like even getting the subscription will be a bit of a fight.....
This is really stupid. Only limited to 200.............
What kind of business model limits the amount of business you do with people.......
The way I see it, more people subscribe the more business I'm doing. Less people subscribe, means less guarantee that the other 3 figures will perform as well as Leonardo.
Anything Playmates has taught us, it's that Leonardo is the best selling figure followed by Raphael.

I'm gonna try to get the Casey mask pin, but other than that, no Mondo goods for me. Too pricey. If only they were smaller & cheaper, I'd be in.

Panda Khan · 08-24-2015, 10:26 PM

Interesting, I didn't know about the subscription plan. I was planning to go with Sideshow because the exclusive gauntlet didn't really seem appealing to me plus Sideshow's payment plan. I might try to gun for it now for the exclusive print. As for the pins, I'm planning to get those tomorrow if I'm awake and maybe the print. I have a wedding coming up and ever since I saw them revealed at SDCC, I've been wanting the Raphael for my tux lapel and the other 3 for my groomsman and possibly the Casey Jones for my nephew (ring bearer).

*Zulithe* · 08-25-2015, 12:07 AM

Super tempted to try for the subscription. Big monetary commitment though when I'm spending tons on Star Wars and games this year.

*Chris* · 08-25-2015, 12:36 AM

That price is actually MUCH better than I was expecting given Mondo's normal pricing. Still more than I think they should be but seriously tempted to go for these now.

Filespit · 08-25-2015, 03:09 AM

Finally some news on these guys. $150 is an acceptable price, it could've been worse. I'm certainly interested in the subscription deal, as I'm planning on getting all four. Has anyone heard when they might ship?

The pins were actually for sale at SDCC.

So basically if we get the subscription, we get each exclusive turtle for the price of the regular versions, a limited edition poster and we don't have to mess around each month to place an order on the new turtle...well I told myself that I would buy all four turtles so I guess I am going to be gunning for a subscription!!

Shipping included in the subscription would be absolutely incredible too. I know someone said that the time would be random but do they have follow a pattern of when they open up their pre-orders? Luckily I am off on Thursday but I will be doing some work for school throughout the day and don't want to miss out.

TheMasterTurtle · 08-25-2015, 09:59 AM

Pins and poster went on sale about 6 minutes ago...

The poster sold out within 3 minutes.

I hope all of you wanting the exclusives are ready for the chaos and quite possibly disappointment Thursday

I really think Mondos method of selling at "random time of day" exists in order to control potential bandwidth problems. If they told everyone the preorder for a limited print, you etc went up at noon... Their site would be flooded. Although I don't like the random I assume my logic holds water. I missed out on this new poster and I was still quick to the draw

Sorry that's what I meant.

I was able to get 4 pins this morning. I missed Casey but that's fine.

zaktheneutrino · 08-25-2015, 02:08 PM

I've never ordered on Mondo's site before so I just have a quick question. Do they basically put up the pre-orders on the homepage at random and you just have to keep checking? Or is there is a certain link on the sidebar where they place their pre-orders?

It's on the main page and they usually update their Twitter also

Don't even get me started... Every time I come across a post about that, I tell myself that's what I get for using the internet.

(I almost didn't want to respond lest I start more conversation on the subject...

super curry max · 08-25-2015, 07:12 PM

So if i completely miss out on both the full 4 subscription and the single order figure on mondo am i SOL? OR is there anywhere else that will sell these for what mondo are charging and not an exorbitant mark up?

GetABox · 08-25-2015, 07:30 PM

Man, those pins went quick this morning! Had all 4 turtles in my cart, Casey was sold out. Went to check out, and boom, gone. Missed out.

I can only imagine the turtles will be worse. Hoping to get a subscription.
