That's a really good deal! Where did you manage that if you don't mind me asking?

There is a TMNT selling group on Facebook and a guy posted he was selling his unopened dreamex set $220 a piece. Raph arrived yesterday and he perfect!

189-They are heaving though so 20 shipping isnt too far fetched honestly. That way you would get some quality package protection etc.

What makes you say that...is it just the fact its been delayed so long? That alone seems fairly standard in this game so I'm not worried yet though I do hope I'd get a refund from KGHobby in that event.

I think it's slow because it become an unlicensed product, and then it's very much a statue with minimal movement, price is still a bit expensive.
So all and all I think the pre-orders are slow.

According to eBay the Raph are SELLING at 700-ish. Thats nuts. The other turtles are starting to approach 300.

Just in case anyone is interested when the set is worth 10,000 I will be selling my set

But it's really you who may want to review the very link you posted in the other thread to the tfwiki definition of toy scalping. The second clause of the opening sentence says "with the intention of creating an artificial scarcity". If a person's motivation for buying 2 SDCC NECA sets is something other than that (say, trading or backups or just because they want them), then your cherry-picked definition of a nebulous colloquial term indicates they are not toy scalping no matter how much everyone here bleats about it.

But that of course has nothing to do with DreamEx turtles, which I am proud to own a full set of and as cool as a $10k payout would be I would probably still hang on to them, they are that unique and well done!

The other thread's discussion about scalpers mainly revolved around the 'Drome's resident scalper who've gotten at least 13 sets, that's not:

It's not my problem you don't understand the term.

Yeah my wife asked what it would take and I just threw out 10k...no idea what I would do if someone actually offered it.

Lets keep "he who shall not be named" out of this thread. That drama has already clogged up another one.

Sorry Coro, I’ll undercut you and do the full set for 9999.99 ... ha ha
However, realistically speaking, can’t see this set ever being sold.

Nope. DreamEx no longer holds the TMNT license. In fact they didn't have the license to release April O'Neil so they made a female figure calles NEWSHEN
