Winter Wave is gonna be a big one!

[rayfillet101]

I just sent an e-mail to Playmates askign them when Dr malignus, Baxter, Water foot Mystic, Utrom, and Claw shredder are out. She replied saying that she believes they will be out by christmas. Earth Shredder clone, Splinter in Cyrotube, and Mouser 6 pack are also set to be out in winter. thats 8 figures in the middle of your holiday shopping! I know they have done an 8 figure wave before but not during the holiday season. what do you think about this?

[Antrax]

Awesome, another complete wave in my want list. I've been especially waiting for the mousers. I don't recall the "Earth Shredder clone" though. Who's that?

[rayfillet101]

sorry typo. I meant Earth foot mystic! :) So two foot mystics. One good thing is that these should be included in the holiday sales. Hopefully I will find they at 5 dollars each, bringing the total to just under 50 dollars, which is still a huge amount to pay for figures during christmas.

HOLY CRUD. that many. lordy man i gotta tell my paretns as soon as they come out go get them.

[rayfillet101]

Yeah im a bit worried as well. The christmas rush is hard enough. With buying presents and wrapping them and getting all prepared and now I have to run out and look for all these. My rents always get stressed out at christmas time, and my mom usually gets stressed out at TMNT hunting time, combine them and I see a stress overload! This could eb the year without a santa clause people! Last year it was only shredder elite, foot gunnar and armored shredder, Not to mention the armored turtle variants. But I picked those up in November so It wasnt that bad spending 15 bucks on figures. I gotta get a job!

[KROW]

It's about time Playmates started releasing another Foot Mystic.

[Leonardo_the_sword_master]

man i gotta get as many ninja turtle toys as possible. like the old ones, and all the others. well wish me luck on TMNT hunting. before the holiday i got 4 months and 29 days to get the old ones. hahah I can get all of the mby then. hahahha :lol: :evilgrin: .

[milweskee]

[Antrax]

[Jester]

I couldn't find the Wind Mystic.

[TheCloneRanger]

Ehh...I hate the holiday release of toys. Finding stuff is usually hard enough, but then you have the parents/grandparents who go out and buy whatever they see in hopes that their kids like it. The kid couldn't care less, but then they end up getting one of our hard to find toys. :)

At least during the holidays retail stores stock toys every day.

[rayfillet101]

I e-mailed playmates regarding cyro tube splinter. They werent able to give me any infromation on the figure or any pictures. I doubt it is coming out this december. Maybe in the new Turtle Lair?

[KROW]

New Turtle Lair? It would make more sense to release it as an exclusive figure in an Utrom lab playset.

[Triceraton]

I think they decided not to do a new Turtle Lair, or else Target wouldn't be getting the one from last year in for their Christmas reset. Personally I'd hope if for a new playset or a carded release, because this line definitely needs a new more accurate Splinter.

[Wingnut]

New wave sounds awesome,although my money is gonna be blown on a PSP and a few other things

[malignant]

PSP out before the end of this year... :lol:

DS though, will have alot of people blowing their money. Nintendos already promises before end of year...=]

[Wingnut]

Hey even though its coming out in 3000 March 300$ is alot of dough for me to save,with my spending habits. So i gotta get crackin'!

[cowabunga14]

The Utrom figure is already out.You people are silly! :D

[rayfillet101]

This Thred was old, before the Utroms were released. whos the silly one now? :goofygri:

[PenguinCleese]

Not only that but Baxter and Claw Shredder have been released. This is real strange how every couple weeks one new figure has come out. But I'm not complaining. Maybe they are moving Usagi and Gen up. Also it is about time we got another Mystic. Aren't they just repaints? What could be taking this long? Any word on Quarry or a mini Shredder clone? Has she been totally scrapped? 'Cause honeslty I could care less if she had an action feature or not, it's really dumb having two of the characters without their leader. The same goes for the mini Shredder clone, why make two and not the third? He could be included in the Mouser six pack. Take care!
