Or maybe some skipped Nick characters, especially those that had prototypes around like Savanti and Biotroid.

While I don't know if Playmates license include the IDW comics, this is a nice idea.

So, is there a confirmed retail price point for the Rise of TMNT line's standard figures?

Amazon has them for $10.99:

With Rollbacks, I could see Walmart having them for like $9.87 or whatever, similar to the last line.

I don't know how accurate it is, but Brickseek/Walmart has them listed at $8.46

yeah amazon is charging more, but at least you can order the full set through them. the hope is they adjust the price down before Oct 1st... which they might, since their site has some form of automatic price-matching when other retailers like target and walmart list theirs.

Like I mentioned in the toy sightings thread, you can find a lot of rise merch on target.com already, but they aren't carrying the single carded basic figures, at least not yet. You can find a lot of the vehicles and whatnot though. And they are charging retail not a markup.

if anyone finds the basic figs at MSRP online please share your findings. walmart.com is a total mess and I can never find anything there through searching. sorting by "new" doesn't even work.

I did manage to find SOME items on walmart.com... but not the single-carded basic figs yet:

Are these coming out at the same time in the UK? Not finding them anywhere at the moment.

Probably going to get Meat Sweats for my 2012 figures to take down. Less interested in Draxum, though I might also get him to boss some other figures about. Probably will wait for Hypnopotamus, Albeardo, etc., as well.

In BC we've spotted the single packs , the motor bikes, the main vehicle and the large Turtles.
I suspect some time down the road we will get the pre-mystic weapons.

I'm going to read through this forum hoping to find some way to use these pizza points.
Okay, either I missed it or nothing is here. I went to the sites before coming here, read through the stuff and have no idea how to redeem my pizza points.
I got Raph. Here is my crappy review video:

Was out doing some Funko hunting and saw some of these out at Walgreens! One store had 2 Mikeys, one had one Raph (pictured) and the last one had Draxum and Origami ninja. Wanted to get Mikey but held off for now. Theyre $10.99 at Walgreens so I figure I can get the other brothers a little cheaper in a few weeks.

Stopped by Walgreens a little while ago, and they had 2 Mikeys. I ended up buying one. At $10.99, they're a little pricey, but It's kind of cool to have him early! I'll hit up another couple tomorrow or the next day to see if they have any more.

You all must have a special Walgreens or something. I wouldn't pay that much, but at the very least I did check yesterday at the one I visit once a week as part of my job. And...nothing. Not really any toy stuff at all in that place right now.

On the up side, I also hit a Walmart once a week and the way to their stockroom is right down the aisle where the TMNT stuff had (and I'm sure will be again) displayed, so I'm able to keep a pretty good eye out for them to show up. (Not to mention access to their stockroom and people who work back there. )



Really don't know that I will get any of these initial basic figures though, the eyes and facial expressions kind of bug me. Hoping they'll have some that are cuter/better looking later.

Has anyone speculated what wave 2 might be yet? Foot Lieutenant is a given.

The Walgreens I found them in had just done a mild reset and clearanced out some older stuff, while another I visited that didn’t have them looked like they were getting ready to reorganize. So I have a feeling most places are putting them out with their holiday stock.
