I'm hoping I didn't miss these others.

The Rock Soldiers were released - never saw them, not once.
The Rodney's and the Triceraton were released - picked them up at a Target in late November IIRC.

I passed up the Foot Solder 2-Pack when I saw it.
Never saw the promo-colored Turtles
Never saw Metal Head, but ordered it from NECA over the Summer. It hasn't shipped.
Never saw the Casey two-pack
Never saw the April two-pack

Unfortunately, the rock soldier 2-pack and Triceraton and Roadkill Rodney 2-pack are not in the current case with Splinter and Baxter Stockman. Splinter and Baxter Stockman was a late wave 4 release. The rock soldier 2-pack was sold 4 months ago, while the Triceraton and Roadkill Rodney 2-pack was out 3 months ago. The rock soldiers and Triceraton and Roadkill Rodney 2-packs are only available on the black market now.

Dang, looks like I missed those. Any info on the giant android Krang? I thought he was supposed to come out a few months back as well but I see a swarm of him in the stores now. Is this a 2nd release or just a late start?

The Wrath of Krang figure was released last month and it is still in stores. It’s not a restock.

You’re welcome. The Wrath of Krang figure and Baxter and Splinter 2-pack will be in Targets until the Rat King and Vernon Fenwick 2-pack case shows up in the spring.

You really think they will last that long until spring?! All the earlier waves sell out faster than you can find them. I cant imagine them continually re-stocking these over and over again until spring. But again, what do I know. That's why I keep asking all you friendly people on here

Kind of sounds like you're new to this line. So far the only figures to receive a restock in Target are Bebop/Rocksteady, Shredder/Krang, and Metalhead I believe. NECA have also sold a few of the packs directly as well such as Slash/Leatherhead. I'd say there's a good chance they'll eventually release everything through their store, though they've said they won't (they are known to lie from time to time to push sales).

The latest figures to release are Splinter/Baxter and Android Krang, which just hit a couple weeks ago. They are hitting in MUCH greater numbers than anything before so it's possible NECA and Target have finally decided to up their production numbers. I know that my Target has had multiple Splinter sets just sitting there for the past couple of weeks which has never happened before.

Zarax and Zork was in stores until The Wrath of Krang figure and Baxter Stockman and Splinter 2-pack arrived. I would say it’s safe to presume that The Wrath of Krang figure and Baxter and Splinter 2-pack will be at Target until Rat King and Vernon 2-pack takes up space on the shelf by the DVDs and Blu Rays.

Those shots of Vernon and April really showcase just how "off" April looks. Vernon looks like a spot-on human in a cartoon, April looks... well, just not good.

And yes, I'm excited for this pack. I wonder if it will hit as heavily as these last two releases did or if NECA specifically scaled those up since they were such popular characters.

just snapped the damn foot of my splinter figure.

Ugh.
Run back to Target and see if there is another one there, and then return yours for damage, dude.

Aside from April’s bobblehead, her collar and flap pocket should not be yellowish orange. April should have a full yellow jumpsuit.

NECA actually just posted on their Instagram that Traag/Granitor and both Triceraton packs have restocks shipping next week.

yeah i got a late start to this game. Found many splinters and android Krangs everywhere but could never find anything in the stores before that. I bought a couple of things off ebay when i could find reasonable prices. It's good that they are finally fully stocking these and uping the production numbers, but it does us no good for the more popular characters from the older waves. And honestly I'm not interested in anything past wave 4 (so far from what I've seen anyways). It really sucks cus I don't wanna pay 200 dollars for raphael and foot soldier and another 200 for mikey and foot soldier. Blah

Just hang tight, NECA should be rolling out more direct orders this year. And we know the disguised turtles are coming so you should be set for turtles soon. And then there's the ultimate Foot coming as well, so not only can you get a Foot but you'll get one with everything.

Waiting doesn't always pay off but with NECA it's pretty safe to bet you'll get another shot at any given figure.

That's still called the aftermarket, Mikey0. Not the black market where things are illegally traded.

You always strive for specificity in your oddly precise posts, so... you know. Be correct if you are going to be that way.

But other than that, please continue. We like to read what you write.

Thank you for the heads up, IMJ. I made the corrections to my posts.

Got the shipping confirmation tonight for Metal Head from NECA.
