Repackaged figs and Blanque and Yoshi

[clockstomper]

Saw "new" figs at Walmart today, it was the regular Turtles in the new packaging, along with Casey, Razorfist, Blanque and Yoshi and Fudal Shredder. No Gen though.

So if you see a regular Turtle in the new packaging, check the pegs for Blanque of Yoshi.

Sweet! I've been tryin to snag these figs for a while now...i'm not into the package variants but I know some peopl eare so thats cool too...

[Jed]

Hopefully more Yoshis will hit eBay now! Any pics of the repackaged TMNT?

The new packaging is cool, but I noticed that they are harder to spot. The old packages really stood out. I have yet to find yoshi, gen, or fuedal shred. Hope to find them today

What do you mean by harder to spot? As in harder to spot among the other TMNT items or harder to find in the entire aisle? I've yet to see a store fully stocked with the new packaging, so I'm not sure how much difference it would make on the overall look of the TMNT section. (Most of the stores here still have a hodge podge of old and a few new packaging items.)

I think he means harder to differentiate (sp) between which TMNT figure is which at a quick glance. Like with the old card you could tell whether you were looking at Leo, Don, Raph, Mikey or a secondary character straight away from the shape or look of the card. With the new card they're kinda all the same unless you read each name on the top.

Yea...I can see how that might make thing harder...so these have only been in Walmart so far?

Well, as I said, I haven't seen a full peg of the new packaging yet, other than the combat figures. But I don't think it is that hard to tell the difference between the figures. It is certainly easier than most lines. Granted, the top of the card isn't a large head shot of the character, but they are still color coded and have th character on the top on one side as well. I am curious to see how they will handle the non turtle characters. The only one I've seen so far is Fuedal Shredder so I don't know if they will all look like that or not.

I agree that the TMNT aren't hard to differentiate on a peg but I know a few people have been giving out about it.

I think the secondary characters will be harder to spot, Blanque and Feudal Shredder's cards are the exact same, as in they both say "Enemies" and have a picture of Shredder, Hun and a Foot Soldier. The Allies cards will probably all be the same too, the word "Allies" with a picture of Splinter, Casey and April. The shelves are kind of tightly packed in Ireland, it's difficult to shift through the pegs to see the bottom of the bubble with the name in it.

I thought blanque and yoshi were only released in the new packaging and not the old.... am I right?

Yep, you're right.

K, I was just a bit confused by that. Did anyone else realize that TMNT figures went up a whole buck at wal-mart? Not that they aren't still relatively cheap compared to other toys, but after about 20 toys that 5 figures I'm missing out on.

[OA]

I ofter see the prices rise and fall b/w $4.88 and $5.99...give it time (or check another store) and you can probably find them cheaper...

What price are they at? If it is $5.88 or close to it, then I would say what is happening is that they are just back up to full price so that they will have reason to advertise them as on sale during the upcoming holiday season.

[OA]

Yea, that's possible too... Like I said, in a matter of weeks over here, I see them go up to $5.88 and back down to $4.88...its never set in one of those prices for too long...

[BigApple3AM]

You guys are probably right. That's exactly what the price change is. There's seriously only 8 basic figures at my wal-mart right now. 3 or 4 guardian figures, ninja knight don, and a few other turtle variants I can't remember. All spread accross like 6-8 open pegs, makes it look like they got picked clear, though it's more of a progressive thing that's going on. Figures will just disappear each day until this is all that's left.

I'm guessing they'll restock soon and I hope to be there when they do. Maybe I'll finally get a Gen figure.

The repacks have also hit Kohl's--and Kohls is having a 30% off sale right now, so you get the figs for $5.99 instead of their usual jacked up price.

It is pretty hard to look back a row of figures and find the one you're looking for. Since all of the repacks were other characters (Toddlers, Razorfist, etc), they all had the "Allies" tag.

[OA]

Well then its basically just how it was before....I mean, all of those non-tmnt characters came on the same card before (with all 4 tmnt heads on it)..if anything, it should be a tad easier cuz now there are two of those cards, one for allies and one for baddies...
