To help avoid confusion, post where and when you found the figures here (also, is it possible to get this stickied to keep it at the top?) So far in Pensacola Florida, nowhere has nothing at all. I'm gonna keep checking though!

There, all sticky-ed. At least for awhile.

I found the 12" giant TMNT figures at a KB Toys in San Jose, CA last Thursday. However, Target came up with nothing. I'm still on the lookout.

I heard on the he-man.org forums that someone in flordia found all the 5" and someone in north carolina did too.

Mike
12-22-2002, 05:03 PM
Checked a few more places: TRU, KayBee Toys, Wal-Marts, K-Marts, and Targets all got nothing :( Guess I won't be getting 'em for Christmas.

yea wal mart is the only place that has the small ones if that helps in your searching.

I'm going to check out Wal-Mart..too bad there is no KB Toys where I live..I saw a coming soon poster of the Ninja Turtles somewhere..I think it was Wal-Mart. So, if anyone spots one in Toronto, or a city near Toronto, tell me!

Keno

Yea if anyone in the Toronto area finds them, let me know

i dont frequent Wal Mart and that seems to be the only place they are available at....

i wish they had an exact date for the toys and not scramble all around like this

PWDESAI
12-24-2002, 01:43 PM
yea the exact date is january, we got lucky and playmates shipped early. usually toys never have exact dates, unless it's star wars figs being released for the movie.

Eye of Sarnath
12-26-2002, 10:25 AM
Well, I'm a Star Wars fan but I don't really bother with the figures.

I probably won't be able to find the new TMNT toys until late January... :cry:

But there is still hope! I intend on visiting Wal-Mart again soon. Myabe they'll have them by now.

Hey guys! I found all four turtles and the motorcycle at a WalMart here in the Houston, Texas area! They are extremely cool-only a few minor critiques that aren't even worth posting. It seems they ship seperate from Shredder, Splinter, and the Foot Soldier, because there were'nt any of those. They were all sold out by the end of that day, though! (Monday, the 23rd) I got one of everything for me, and another whole set for my fiancee, also a big fan!

Keno
12-28-2002, 01:57 AM
Sold out :o :o No way you have got to be kidding!!

Thats really good...except its not good if they sell out here and I never get them :(

12-28-2002, 03:42 AM
Next week I'm gonna check here in Holland...Some special stores also had the He-man figures very early..some I'm gonna look if they might have the new TMNT figures yet

I'll let you know

xZAOx
12-28-2002, 03:56 PM
nah. just annoying to keep barely missing them. plus, i get the feeling people just bought them up to put 'em on ebay, since the $6 figures are going for like $15-20....thats just stupid IMO. unless of course you are very very impatient and have lots of extra money to waste =P

hehe, funny story about that...this semester, all the people that graduated from college here (cookeville is the home of TN Tech), had "Cooksville" listed as the city, not Cookeville. man people were pissed! (its kinda close to how your city is spelled hehe)

*edit* i mean they had Cooksville listed on their diploma, hehe

I'm in Nevada. I've checked Walgreens and Super K and so far no figures. I havn't checked Wal-mart yet. I knew Super K wouldn't have them. Their toy selection suck, at least here. They don't even have DBZ figures.

walgreens? since when does walgreens have action figures?

and according to the official site, the toys will be in walmart, kmart, toys 'r us, kay-bee toys. they might have said other stores, but i dont remember.

walgreens? since when does walgreens have action figures?
The one near me has always had them. They always have one row of toys (more at Christmas), including action figures. (I've spotted He-Man and Power Rangers, but no TMNT yet.) Don't expect them to get the first set of releases though.

anyways, at walmart yesterday, i saw 2 of the shell cycles. i asked someone working there, and i actually got someone who knew what the hell they were talkinga bout. he said that the turtles were planned for a spring release, but they did get a shipment in before christmas but they all sold really fast. he said give it 10-14 days and they should have alot more in.

im pissed at myself now. i checked walmart back on dec 22, and nothing was there. i went home the 24th, and thought about stopping by wally world, but decided not to. i bet i coulda found some then =P

Last night I found the armored Truck at a Target near me (Houston area)! It's totally awesome! They also had 2 leos, 2 raphs, a Mike, a Don, and 2 each of the roleplaying katana and bo. I passed on those, but got one of the 3 trucks they had. They also had spaces marked already for the 12" figs and the other vehicles. I still need Shredder, splinter, the slider, and an army of foot soldiers. My store (TRU) that I work at hasn't got any of this stuff yet, but we did get the planograms in!

Toys R Us in Portland and Clackamas, OR have the 12" figures, but nothing else.

Target in Clackamas had everything (Including RP toys) except Shredder and the Sewer Slider.

K-B Toys in Clackamas had nothing, K-B in the Lloyd Center (Portland) had a few figures including one Shredder. He's now mine! ALL MINE! :lol:

nice find, what is the new shredder like?

I've posted a few photos in the "New toys are in stores NOW!" thread. He's quite nice. His arms could be a bit better articulated though. His left arm is extended and only swivels at the shoulder, his right arm is bent at the elbow, and can be twisted in some uncomfortable looking ways. Head, waist, and wrists all swivel. I just discovered that he can do the splits as well.

His weapons are nice as well, I'm not sure how effective a double ended sword would be, but it looks wicked.

They're here in Indianapolis! Finally! :thyper:

I was poking aorund in the Target store (which is just five minutes from my house) and they had the 5" figures, the turtle shell, and the RP toys there. Woohoo! Unfortunately, it was just the turtles left. It's been hit by many other buyers too, I guess. I bought Donny for now... but will go back to get the other three. :D

Hi everybody. I'm new to the boards, but am a longt-time user on he-man.org (I go by Co-Lec-Tor over there).

I found all the new TMNT figures at Planet Comics in the Smithaven Mall today, I think they only got them in this week. I haven't seen anything at the TRU near the mall, or the KB toys in the mall. Maybe next time I'm there.

Oh, does anybody know how to make an avatar? I have a picture I'd like to use, but it's been a LONG time since I made my original avatar on he-man.org so I kinda forgot how exactly to go about doing it here- if it is even done the same way.

Found Mike, Don, Foot soldiers, and Splinter, plus the van, at Target in Manassas, Virginia today.

Splinter is pretty cool, although I don't like him being grey all that much. I always pictured him as being brown/black in the old 80's comics. That & his legs are a pain in the butt. Playmates must not want any of their figures to sit down, 'cause the way their legs are set up it's almost impossible for them to sit on their rears. I'm wondering how they'll fit into the battle shell! :o

-Snailman

PWDESAI
01-11-2003, 08:23 AM
lol :o

I think the battleshell is sorta like the old can where you can just pop your the legs in straight and it'll look like they're sitting. At least i think i saw the back area of the battle shell was similar to the old van. Everyone start trying toysrus they seem to be getting in a lot of tmnt. Otherwise Target then kbtoys are your best bets. Walmart seems to be slumping down...

I'm in IL...scoped out KB, TRU, Walmart, and Target. KB, TRU, and Walmart didn't have anything at all (no hooks no nothing) but Target had a good assortment.

I bought myself the four turtles but was kinda limited on money so I'm waiting for another run...they didn't have Shredder, Foot, or Splinter, but they had all of the 12" and all of the vehicles.

Man these toys look so cool... :o

I wonder whether the new figures will be as "valuable" as the old ones were. It sure seems like people are prepping more now to be ready to stock up on the new line, but won't that just mean that everyone has em? Then what's the point of keeping them unopened?

Personally I like having carded figures to display. They look cool with all of the packaging and information.

I got my 2 new ones in the mail. Leo and Raph. Sad to say that no stores around upstate NY have them. I called Wal Mart, and got into a little rucus with the toy isle guy, called Target, that was a no-go. The Comix Zone didn't have anything. So I ordered them off Amazon, they came within 3 days, Anyone who can't find them, Amazon would be your best bet.

P.S., the toys rock, they look "Real" with the dirt look and so-on.

that aint dirt it's backwash and all it's meant for is defining the muscles of the figure better. It's pretty cool i think so too.

Hey Brodie, did buying off Amazon go well for you? I don't see why people would sell the so called "rare" figures (shredder, foot, splinter) if you could just get it off amazon. I'll probably end up doing that if it worked for you.

It worked out fine, came with in 3 days, you get a chjoice of shipment, fast or what ever. And if you want the packages in lighter or less boxes. I ended up getting Leo and Raph the third day in one box that was almost weightless. But the shipping and handeling can be a killer. I ended up paying 15 for the toys and the S&H.

lol :o

I think the battleshell is sorta like the old can where you can just pop your the legs in straight and it'll look like they're sitting. At least i think i saw the back area of the battle shell was similar to the old van. Everyone start trying toysrus they seem to be getting in a lot of tmnt. Otherwise Target then kbtoys are your best bets. Walmart seems to be slumping down...

Oh, okay. At least they'll be able to sit in it ok.

Actually, if you want to get the new figures for the best price, Kay-Bee toys is apparently the only ones charging $5.99 for them. TRU, GameStop,etc. all seem to be chargin' $7.99+ for 'em. $5.99 ain't a bad price at all for new TMNT figures, considering Kay-Bee used to sell the orginal figures for that much back in the day. TRU & Kay-Bee always had a 2 dollar price difference, KB being more expensive, but nowadays it seems like TRU is the more pricey one of the two, but not always.:

MotU figures: $8.99- $7.99 at KB
TMNT figures: $7.99- $5.99 at KB
Transformers: $6.99-to-$10.99 - $7.99-to-$11.99 at KB

If KB is gonna keep the TMNT figures at $5.99, then I'm buying all my stuff from there- I'll go broke buying the new MotU AND the new TMNT for $7.99 a piece. :o

I just came back from my usual hunt for TMNT toys...I had called in earlier today to Toys R Us and they said they had only ONE Foot Soldier left so the dude there reserved it for me :D So I picked it up, and going back home I decided to take a different route and kinda got lost, but also somehow ended up at a Kmart so I was like "what the heck" and I went in and I found them stocked up!!!

So I ended up buying two foot soldiers and one shredder, because that's all I had enough money for. :( But at least I got them. :) Now Wave 1 is finally complete...such a good feeling.

Oh yeah, I stopped at Target too and they had the RPG toys (Leo's Katana and Don's Bo) stocked up but the rest of the shelves for the figures were empty (tho they had all the vehicles too).

I found them in a small comic store on Queen Street near Spadina called SILVER SNAIL. THey had the 12 inch and the smaller ones. I bought: Don, Leo and Mikey. There was also a foot soldier, Splinter and Shredder but I didnt have enough money for them. Raphael was sold out and when I asked for him the guy rolled his eyes :roll: I guess Raph's really popular! Anyways I asked when they're getting more and he told me they had just gotten one shipment in yesterday, that's why they dont have alot in stock, but he is expecting more. I didnt buy the bigs ones because theyre really expensive but I am planning to go back maybe then I'll get one.

Leo is my favorite-he looks really good!

Hey motuthunder! It'sa me, Co-Lec-Tor! :D Nice to see another he-man.org person here.

The Toys-R-Us in Lake Grove on Long Island NY had only 5 Turtles figures left (3 Raph's & 2 Don's I think), a few giant turtles (had no interest in them, so just glanced at 'em quickly) & alot of Sewer Sliders & Shell Cycles. TRU charges $6.99 a figure & $10.99 for the vehicles. I used almost all of what was left on my TRU gift card to buy the Sewer Slider, so I got to save some money.

The Kay-Bee Toy store in the Smithhaven Mall also had TMNT toys in, but in larger numbers. No vehicles from what I could see, but they DID have all 4 turtles & 3 Shredders. I picked up a Shredder & a Mike figure so now all I have left to buy figure wise is Donatello & Leonardo. Kay-Bee charges $5.99 a figure, which is pretty impressive as it's the exact same price they charged for the original TMNT figures back in the day.

1) I heard from an eBay auction description that he was 1 per case.

Yeah, it's weird that none of the turtles really stand properly. Their feet aren't flat. Well, neither are mine, but at least mine are flexible. Plus those shells do block their full range of movement. But I've got them all standing, so I guess that's all that counts.

Mikey seems to have the smallest range of movement for his legs, at least, which makes him pretty hard to stand up. Donatello is a little tipsy at times too, maybe he just had too much to drink last night! :wink:

The foot soldiers don't stand very well :|


But the turtles do! :D

Very true, and I can't even attach a foot stand (no pun intended) to my Foot Soldier to help him stand up due to the fact that the new figures have HUGE peg holes. Why they made them so large, I'll never know. But my two turtlesdo stand up easily. Mikey has a weird right arm though...

for some reason my Donatello doesnt stand so good, I cant figure out how his legs are supposed to go so I just attatch his bo to his back and then use it to prop him up :lol:

Heh heh. :)
I wonder why he comes with 2 Bo's? Does he ever use both of them at once?

Hm, all of my turtles stand fine except for mikey :-?

My Mikey just has a weird right arm. Like no matter how much you roate it at the elbow, the arm still remains very straight.

I went to Toys R Us and they were all sold out of figures. :( Guess I'll have to wait to get Shredder.

I think it's actually kind of a good thing though, it show that the TMNT are still certainly popular! And it can't be just the old fans buying them at this rate.

If you can, just go to KB toys & buy them, if anything you'll get them cheaper & save a buck or two. :)

::nods:: Yeah, some little kids actually know about the turtles before the new toon was comin' out. I saw a few kids over the course of like 3 months ask to rent the TMNT tapes, but there was none 'cept for the Next Mutation stuff. So I guess they learned about them through older siblings, or movie rentals?

*Cries* I don't believe it!!! Walmart restocked, and there was one each of Splinter, Shredder, and the Foot Soldier, for only six bucks apiece, AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY! :tsad:

I HATE Canada, they STILL haven't got one freakin figure here in Winnipeg, me and poor Splint are suffering while everyone else is saying how they have 7 or 8 :cry: :( ONE day we will get them, and by that time you guys will have the 2nd line

Well be thankful you at least got Splinter! Here in the GTA, I can't find anything TMNT related! Not even an ad in a Magazine or a Catelog!

Well, down here in Rockford, the Target here went Turtle crazy! I got extremly licky because I was originally searching for a Lord of the Rings figure gift pack, only to run into these little suckers! I picked up all of the figures except the Foot Soilder. (Ran out of money. :cry: )
I would review the figures, but it seems that everyone else has already given a review. :lol: They also had the role-playing weapons, the Van, and the Cycle.

While I was returning home in the subway, I saw this kid packing his new Rapheal figure and motorcycle toy. He sure looks excited. The TMNT are getting a whole new generation of fans. Basically I see the toys all over the place now, it's not a rare sight to see them so I wouldn't consider this a sighting.

It's good that TMNT is getting more fans BEFORE the new show! Hopefully it will catch on for another few seasons... at least.

omg! turtlemania is back!

so for the past 3 weeks of so I've been scouting the stores for the figures, and they pretty much were all sold out or haven't gotten shipments yet. Lo and behold, the day before the official release of the first episode, every store is packed with them!

I only went to Toys R Us and Target, but both had a PLETHORA of figures. The main turtles were the mostly prevalent ones but there were even a couple foot soldiers splints and shredders. Target had 4 shredders :o and I wanted to get them all but by then I was out of money since that was my last stop.

I've spent so much on the new TMNT stuff already...I have about 17 5", 2 12" and the vehicles...man and there's sooo much more to come.

GO TURTLEMANIA!!

17 5"?? Why?

Maybe for the foot soilders. :wink: :lol: I need to buy like four of them and a few of the Tech ones. Can't wait to get the vehicles and new figures that are coming out! (Again, I hope the mousers are the same size as thier counterparts from the new show!) :lol:

Well, I'm gonna customize my turtles weapons so they have the color grip tape as they do in the show. :D I'll post pics when I get finished. :D

Hello all, I'm new to these forums, this mini-turtle revolution sparked by the new toon/toys has also re-sparked my interest in the TMNT, it's been years.. it even prompted me to dig out my hundred plus toys and just sift through em and remember, basically, my childhood! :D

Anyway, as far as the new toys go, they seem to be sold out EVERYWHERE, which is a good sign. I've only tracked down a Michaelangelo (and I only plan on buying the other 3).

All KB's near me seem to be sold out, so its a bit frustrating, as money for my is limited at the moment, and I shouldn't be spending it on them as it is. So even a buck cheaper is appealing.

I've heard shipments should be coming in at the end of this week. I figure I'll stop by the closest KB when I pick up my zelda bonus disc on friday.

I'm really getting pissed off now.

I just can't find them! Damn! Hell, I even found a chocolate Hulk kids can get for Easter.

I called about 3 more KB Toys today. So in total I've called/been to 8 in the Southern CA area:

Arcadia (where I found Mikey and all they had left was another mikey & 1 splinter)
Montebello (1 shredder left)
West Covina (1 splinter left)
Montclair (sold out)
Ontario (sold out)
Glendale (sold out)
Puente Hills (sold out)
& Brea (sold out)

There was one more in the phone book but I didn't recognize the area. I ended up telling my friend and we drove to it, it was in Pasadena... low and behold - FULL STOCK! (Except no foot soldiers). So I picked up the other 3 turtles and was joyfully happy. I'm still undecided on whether or not I want Shredder/Splinter/Foot as I don't think I want to get back into collecting them like when I was little. I may buy another 4 of the turtles when I have the extra cash and just keep them in the boxes.

Whipper - if they're in the San Fernando Valley (you're talking california right?) Tell them to go to the Pasadena Paseo Mall (it's a recently built out doors mall off Colorado BLVD). It's probably only a 20 minute drive, that's where I found all mine last night. They only had 1 leo left, but 1-3 of all the others (minus the foot soldier)

Gah! :tmad:

I'm glad that you're starting to get the new toys in Europe, but I can't help but feel peeved that we haven't gotten them here yet in Canada (especially where I live, nearly right on the US border). I've been checking Wal-Mart every week, but nothing. My comic shop has all of them, however. But they're pretty expensive there, and I'm not willing to pay that much when I could probably save nearly 50% at Wal-Mart.

:tgrumble:

I stopped by at my local TRU to see how the TMNT were selling even though my collection's pretty much complete...I am happy to report that after a week (I was there last Saturday as well) the shelves were completely wiped out! They just have some vehicles and several mikeys and raph avaliable whereas last week was a completely new shipment. WOOHOO!

From Orlando, Fl.

I went to 2 Wal-marts, 2 Targets, Toys R us and a K B toys and between those got all seven figures. None of them had Shredder, SPlinter or the Foot soldier until I got to the last store. They had one each of those three left. I guess I got kind of lucky there. No I just want to get some of those platic cases for action figures to put them in.

Where in Florida are you from Donatello?

Donatello02
02-16-2003, 09:48 AM
I'm from Lakeland. My Target had EVERY figure, atleast 8 of each except for the foot soldiers, Splinter, and Shredder. I have all the turles and splinter carded right now, and I have two loose foot soldier and a loose shredder. I'm hoping to get Shredder and the Foot Soldier carded some time, and the vehicles.

When I finally went and looked for the figs I went to K-Mart. I was very lucky I went when I did. There was 2 or 3 of each turtle, splinter, foot, and shredder. I grabbed the 4 turtles and shredder, i woulda got em all but i ran out of money and K-Marts are more expensive. So I went back there a few times a week, never saw spliter, foot, or shredder again for about a month and a half. So I decided to check Miejer and all they had was 12'' figs, roleplay weapons, shell cycle, and sewer slider. But there were 4 empty hooks for 7'' figs. I checked everywhere for splinter, foot, and the battle shell, but I couldnt find them ANYWHERE! But just last night I went to a Target(a LONG drine) and I was shocked :o , they had 10 hooks for the 7'' figs and only a few had been takin, they just stocked it back up and they guy said that most go pretty fast. So I got my splinter and foot soldier. The had the weapons and 12''figs too. But they also had the battle shell. The only place ive ever seen it, everyplace else ony has the shell cycle, and sewer slider. I think your best bet would be Target and they are reasonably priced. This is in GR,MI BTW
