Found the new Turtle variants tonight at Walmart. They had one of each and I picked up Bug Bustin’ Leo and Don with Spider Shell.

Went back to Walmart and picked up Bug Bustin’ Raph. I couldn’t help myself.

Wake me when Bullhop or some other non-variants start appearing!

I dunno if it was an error or what but I got all non-turtle characters from the Rise toyline for $2.00 at a Wal-mart in Phoenix. They were on the pegs for $8.46 but when I scanned them under the price checker, they rang up $2.00, so naturally I copped them all. This was not the case at the other store location in Phoenix, nor back home in SC, so yeah, I'm guessing it was a mistake. Anyone in that neck of the woods in AZ may wanna check it out, though.
Also, while in Tempe, I think it was, I found the turtles themselves for $5.00 in a Burlington Coat Factory. Grabbed those too!

I go into stores occasionally to check for characters like Bullhop or Albearto, but I saw a couple of Bug Buster turtles yesterday, as well as Donatello with both Spider Shell and Jet Pack.
For the life of me, it seems they should have packaged the Jet Pack and Spider Shell together as the Jet Pack just looks lame and small by itself. Any idea as to potential future resell value for such minor variations sealed in pack?

Here's an odd new item, Kohl's department store has another exclusive Half-Shell Heroes battle pack. This time the set includes the Party Wagon, Patrol Buggy and all four Turtles. Price is $50, so not a bad deal if you don't already own the vehicles.

I wish that line would have continued even with Rise designs. I like those sculpts much more than what Imaginext does at a similar scale.

Sort of an unusual sighting today, Walmart is evidently carrying the same Mutant XL 4 pack that was sold at Toys R Us two years ago, just with a new UPC. The good news is that you get all four Turtles for just $25.

For a property that survives on toy sales, they sure are good at making these new figures as hard to track down as possible.
Anyway, found new figures on amazon. I have no idea if/when these will actually ship, especially if the line is cancelled. Yes these prices are grossly inflated. But considering how hard these newer figures are to find in the wild, might be worth it for some of us. Bull Hop https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P8WPGKV/ Wrestling Leo https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Teenage-...dp/B07QRCR4QC/ Here is his cardback. Notice some other upcoming figures, as well as some figures being designated as 'rare' which must mean they are shortpacked or maybe alternatively packed in some way. I went ahead and ordered Bullhop since I like new villains/characters. Though I do think that Leo variant is a lot better than most variants. Nice outfit. But, I can't stand wrestling so I'm passing Last edited by Zulithe; 11-03-2019 at 06:26 AM. |

I've not seen this mentioned here. It's a tiny video version of the old pinball game. |

I've gotten both Wrestling Leo and Hypno Pottomus from Walmart for about $12 each recently. No sign of Bull Hop though.

Yeah. It's annoying. But since they are probably only getting one or two of those figures in a case of 24 figures, I'd rather pay that than risk not finding them. (Plus with in store pick up I didn't pay shipping which makes up for the higher price.)

Found and picked up Wrestling Leo and Hypno from Walmart in Bridgeview, IL last night. They were hanging on top of the pegs looking freshly stocked.

That sucks about the Bullhop figure.
I grabbed a Bug Bustin' Leo at a local Walmart (Webster, NY.) over the weekend. They had the Raphael figure as well. I was bummed they did not have the Wrestling "Neon Leon" Leo. I also got a Hypno Potamus from a fellow fan who sold it to me for cost, which was awesome. It's so great when the fans help each other out. In looking at the backer, I'm assuming the Shredder and Bullhop are cancelled. Has anyone managed to find both of the variant Donnies in the wild?
