NECA 2017 SDCC TMNT exclusive set(s)

[Redemption]

I just got message from Neca. They are shipping the exclusives out to homes so they arrive the day the show opens instead of shipping after the show ends.

Sounds like good news.

"Dudes! Most excellent timing!!!!"

[djmajin]

just got the good news too about the box set from NECA

"Dear Customer,

We’d like to update you on the shipping schedule for your NECA 2017 Convention Exclusive purchase. Although we originally stated that these would be shipping AFTER San Diego Comic-Con (which takes place July 20-23, 2017)… good news! We will be shipping the Convention Exclusives earlier, so that they will arrive as the show opens.

If you have any other questions about your order, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page or email necaclubcustomerservice@necaonline.com."

I wonder if they'll time it so that nobody actually gets their set BEFORE the show starts.

[Panther10]

I guess it all depends on how quickly they get them out. Preview Night is the 19th and presumably when at least 25% of the convention goers will be able to buy a set at the show. And since we (who pre-ordered) all paid for UPS Ground it means that we can expect these boxes to go out sometime between July 11th-13th, perhaps even as early as the 9th to accommodate for the weekend and longer destinations. So unless NECA is bumping us up to a different service like 3-Day Select or Priority Mail, then I would expect us to have our sets shipped out in about two weeks and we should have them in three weeks.

Why did you think I was going to SDCC then?

[Panther10]

As I said yesterday, I assumed that you and your family were going to SDCC in an attempt to pick up more of these TMNT sets to resell or reserve for family members.

If anyone is looking for individual figures, let me know.

The only ones I want is Krang, Shredder and the two Foot Soldiers. I already have the S.H Figuarts turtles which I prefer to the four NECA turtles.

Looking around on Ebay people only seem to sell both the packs, or Krang and Shredder separate. So if you have the villains I'm interested.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I sold all the Foot Soldiers I had but I will be buying more of these off of eBay as sales justify. Do you need both Foot or just one?

I apologize if this was already posted, but it's the first in-hand account that I've seen.

PM sent.

I am trying to unload sets of turtles for $100 shipped per set (US only).

Oh man... I SO can't wait to get this set! For me, these are the ultimate edition of the original cartoon series figures.

The only thing that will make these better ... is a 2017 NYCC set with Splinter, April, Bebop & Rocksteady!

Seems like the obvious choice for NECA. The other four figures will be turtles from the same mold again with Playmates' signature color schemes.

[Panther10]

Just a heads up: NECA tweeted that the chances of seeing a cartoon Splinter, April, Bebop and Rocksteady are "Pretty Slim"

Not looking good folks. If you still have those NYCC Yellow jumpsuit April figures and the Playmates classics Bebop and Rocksteady then I wouldn't be so hesitant to throw them away or sell them.

[Powder]

Yellow jumpsuit April was never released, FYI.

[Candy Kappa]

Yeah, neither Yellow or Green variants of NECA April got released, only the SDCC 2009 Blue Suit April. Green/Yellow was meant to be the specialty store retail figures, but the entirety of Wave 2 was nixed.
