Haha, guess we should be thankful that NECA didn't just start charging $50 per single figure packs!

I wonder how the Neutrinos would be released since its an odd number?
General Tragg vs Dask
Kala and Zak
Lieutenant Granitor and rock soldier

So many options, but I can see repackaging with different figures and generic foot soldiers messing this up!
No more foot soldier please! I will take the ones that come with April and Casey cause I have no choice BUT I don't want to see any foot soldiers after! We have the "army builders" so if anyone wants to get more of them they can. Don't force us collectors to buy more! :/

I think we will see Splinter at Toy Fair next month so fingers crossed for Rat King as well. Neca also teased Granitor and Tragg so I'm expecting to see them and maybe Android Body Krang. Super 7 will also be shipping their 1st wave soon-ish so I reckon we will see Baxter

And I was coming in to ask if any Aussies wanted the Foot soldier that comes with April to split a two-pack! 😂

Dang. Splinter and Rat King would be an awesome 2 pack. At this point I'd settle for just about any company doing some vehicles for our 6 inch scale turtles.

Wave 2 is apparently being restocked at Target, FYI. If someone ends up with an extra B&R and would want to hook me up at cost I'd be mighty grateful!

Good luck to everyone that missed them the first time.

If Randy is to be believed there will be a lot more available this time around.

But nobody should believe Randy.

Pretty possible since all'a you's are expert martial artists an' sh*t. You probably spin-kicked someone and took theirs. Or you ninja'ed it. I'unno, something.

I watched TV in the 80s, man, you can't put one over on me. I'm hip to You People. People who are literally born wearing those black hooded pajamas have an unfair advantage in the wild. Everybody knows that.

All jokes aside that's a nice-looking set. Good for you.

Man, the more I look at that the more I like it. I might have to piss a chunk of my tax refund on buying these online.

The question is, is there something about the accessories or paint in the new Shredder/Krang that means I need this when I already have the SDCC pack?

I think it's just a re-release with the original toon logo.

This happened as well to DC Collectibles Batman Animated line. When I ask them about it years ago they said that obviously figures are produced in China and it is close to Japan. If their market need just a small order they can fulfil this first before the rest of the world so perhaps the same thing happened here?

Update on my Zavvi order for those curious about that site.

So the Bebop & Rocksteady I pre ordered on 1/13 weren’t listed any more I guess they sold through there stock. I had heard that pre orders don’t charge you until the item ships. Well In the middle of the night Saturday into Sunday I got a charge on my PayPal for the amount of the figures from The Hut Group which is the parent company of Zavvi. About 24 hours later I got an email saying that they had shipped.

The site had listed their release date as 2/28/20 but in the email it says my delivery date should be between 2/24-3/4 I don’t see any tracking info?

I’ll update when these show up

I went ahead and pre-ordered April, Casey and Slash/Leatherhead from Zavvi. Annoyed at myself for not pulling the trigger on Bebop and Rocksteady earlier since they're out of stock now. I've been to a couple of Targets but sort of resent the runaround--it just seems so strange that it should be so difficult to order some regular figures.

Yeah it’s beyond frustrating having to hunt for this things and having zero luck because nobody in your district stocks these figures.

How Target / NECA handle this line is the issue. I have 13 TMNT NECA figures coming in this month. I got 6 from GameStop no problems, the 4 arcade from BBTS that haven’t yet gotten a set ship date, same goes for the Loot Crate Splinter idk about and these Toon Figures I had to import. It’s insane I do so much business with this company but the only answer I have ever seen from NECA is that they are restocking keep looking... I’m a Target Ambassador and I’ve seen nothing accomplished from my stores Rep in months.

I’m still going to collect Turtle figures I just am burnt out on the Target wave. I will likely just pre order again from Zavvi instead of dealing with Scalpers etc.

In the meantime I started collecting from Hasbro and so far it’s been a very different experience being able to find figures stocked in store.

Bebop & Rocksteady available out of Canada, so shipping cost a consideration. Item $74.95 USD.
