congrats man and welcome to the forums

If you are serious, I have an extra set of the 4 Turtles but JUST the Turtles, if that's what you're wanting to trade for. I bought an extra set last year for 2 more Foot Soldiers, and traded off the Shredder and Krang for 2 more Foot Soldiers since then. But I still have an extra set of Turtles. I would include the case too since they're still in it.

Would calling them even do any good though? I doubt they will make exceptions for those of us that lost out online. Otherwise, they'll have nothing left for SDCC itself. EVERYONE would start calling them lol.

If you guys want to snitch on me and get the orders I placed canceled by NECA, be my guest. I will just have to cancel the orders that were placed by people here (overseas fans who have no other way to get them). I can have someone pick the set up for me at the con to fill the one set that actually sold on eBay.

I can't believe how petty you people are. This is the only source of income I have and most of the sets I am ordering are for international members here. I'm so fed up with this place.

Its people like you that screw actual fans out of this set. having your family members and friends help you pass the 2 house per limit just so you can gouge people and re sell them. More proof to my point Scalpers are ****ing assholes. I wish Neca would cancel all your orders than all those would go to actual fans and not someone looking for a profit

[Powder]

I am so beyond mad at all of this.

[Autbot_Benz]

Also **** Playmates with a rusty screwdriver. I would have loved to been able to get these at retail but cause Playmates doesn't wanna share we can't have nice things.

[statik]

I want to be clear I know all too well flipping is part of the collecting hobby.

The real issue is majority of those flippers aren't on a tmnt forum with diehard fans trying to hit em where it hurts. Every big release this guy just looks at another way to line their pockets with zero shame for it. You're pathetic pulling out your excuses for doing so. Total hypocrite labeling themselves as a fan. Don't buy **** from this guy and maybe they'll go away. Support a flipper that at least has a little class not to use a fan forum to their own advantage.

[mikey see]

I'd consider trading this set for last year's 30th boxset if anyone is interested. I've got quite a few iterations of the four turtles, but no good representations of the cartoon villains!

I guess we'll see at the end of July.

[EddieNES]

I have a SD17 8 pack up for trade for a Dio if anyone scored an extra.

Congrats all who scored.
F scalpers, shotty websites, and bad phone service.

Haven't most NECA TMNT sets popped up on the Chinese blackmarket? It's possible these could, as well.

the 30th anniversary hasn't been bootlegged yet

[Reputator]

Tried my damndest the last two days and it was never fast enough. I'd be happier if I never heard of them.

I suppose it’s based on how much faith you have on the counting systems. I’ve been on websites that warned of only one item being left in stock and I order and refresh and then see several more of the item in stock. Like the system reset the inventory counter after running to zero without actually knowing how much was literally available.

[oldmanwinters]

Here's my theory:
For the online sale, there were far more sets bundled with the diorama than without. Priced as twice as much, there's far more profit to be made.

I was thinking about this earlier, will the SDCC 2017 or the Mirage Villains come up on the china bootleg market?, might be the only affordable way I can get those awesome 80s cartoon ones.

I have a bootleg video game Donnie from a few years back that looks mint original. I think we’ll see the SD17 eventually. You figure it’s the same mold; why I’m surprised they haven’t popped up yet.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for the bad guys, but any thing is possible.

I hate to defend a scalper, but neither of us know his situation. How do you know hes not a quadriplegic war veteran and cant get a job? Extreme example, I know but do not assume everyone can go out and "get a real job". I do not know if hes in a disability situation at all, but what I do know is that attacking someone's chosen profession is not cool. You can say what you want about his prices and him being a braggart all you want, but please realize that there are many small toy dealers and store owners that are living with life long disabilities that a toy company can bring both joy and a living wage for. If you have ever been to a toy convention at all, or even Comic Con, how many people do you see that have clear disabilities, or when you talk to them you realize they have clear mental disabilities. This is the community that toy collectors are apart of. Many of us are broken...

This subject is particularly close to my heart, all I ask is that you try to consider other reasons...

[statik]

Let's say your extreme case was the case. Still gives no right to brag openly on how much money their making off the fans here. I can't and won't sympathize with that at all.
