He was off in his claim that since Bebop and Rocksteady were the only new releases in Wave 2 is what made them so hard to find and that by giving us more new releases in future waves that would somehow make the demand less for new releases

agreed. i love neca but the way randy refuses to accept responsibility for under supplying r&b is not okay. it's not scalpers faults. it's not target's fault. it's not "part of the experience" to hunt around endlessly. it's specifically your fault, randy. just admit it, accept it, and do better. that's all. just ramp up production and shipment. scale. that's literally all that needs to be done.

Don't worry, by putting Leatherhead/Slash together, while splitting April and Casey, now everyone will want all 3 packs from the next wave, making them all impossible to find.

exactly! I don't get why Randy thinks it's okay to drive around endlessly wasting gas,miles on the car (and time) looking for figures only to constantly end up with nothing. Any Retail stores carrying toys just flat out suck anymore. It's always the luck of the draw.

Sadly, every one of these Exclusives I will be forced to pay double from scalpers because stores can't keep these in stock or because employees (and scalpers) buy the whole case of 3 (because stores only get one freakin case to begin with). This is one of the hardest lines to collect and that's because there is never enough to go around.

Been refreshing all night. It sold out 1 min before Neca even posted about it. What a joke.

[sluggedup226]

will they not be sold in stores?

[wpugh2424]

Wish wish wish they would do pre-order ( ahem Super 7 )

[RaphaelinSTL]

Yikes. What a cluster.

Not sure why you can't just do a pre-order system like GameStop? Maybe this first run will test out the kinks, but not off to a good start.

Skipping out on this one, so it doesn't hurt as much ... but hoping that the tease that Tokka and Rahzar aren't going to be a Wal-Mart exclusive means they'll actually sell them on the NECA store.

[Swaynomics930]

Wow so F that 1 PM EST time Neca stated yesterday huh. Just check hear and IG and found out they dropped early. SMH not how you should run your operation.

[Turnstone]

Yeah, I have learned not to trust their drop times so I start checking hours early.

[D Piddy 1982]

What I can't get my head around is that here in the UK all the online stores that are going to stock these figures take pre-orders. They've been up for weeks and weeks. So there is no rush, no surge in demand, no waiting for a launch date and time then having to refresh constantly. Makes no sense why you guys don't have a system like the UK one in the US. At least NECA could then make as many as there were pre-orders for, then make any extra stock for the shop shelves. I don't get it.

Me either. That only makes complete sense for all parties involved.

[Slime State Alumni]

Unfortunately NECA confirmed via FB that all sets are sold out and will not be restocked on the Walmart website. So it's either store hunting (during a global pandemic no less) or scalpers. Thanks Randy!

[Swaynomics930]

I mustve misread it says before 1. They posted this around 4 yesterday. So your giving me a 12+ hour window? What kind of non senses is that? How is it hard just to have an exact time drop. WALMART is multi million dollar company their website should support something like this!!!

Multi billion bruh multi billion

It?s should be one of the best sites

[useasneeded4pain]

It's sad when dying Gamestop has a better website/preorder system than retail giants Walmart and Target.

LMAO even worse. NECA themselves do a SDCC drop each year with a drop time. This shouldnt be this unorganized.

[Autbot_Benz]

I am done with both Turtle Lines. I got Raph from Gamestop when they first came out. I got better things to buy that I actually have a chance to get. Didn't try to get this one and I won't the others.

They are allowed to do that only with con exclusives. The hoops they have to jump through are wacky. Those are the bonly ones they can sell themselves in the US.Target, WM, Lootcrate go by their own practices.
