Sorry, these are PRE-ORDERS, my mistake. But still, hop on that!

The classic line are very rare here in the USA these last few weeks. Don't miss out in case the same happens to you!

Go go go go!

I do not know anything about UK pricing so sorry if these are ovepriced :p

Just preorders so far. Good price for the Classics (same price as RRP), not so good for the regular figures, which will have a RRP of £7.99, I believe. The regular figures should be out over here by the end of the month anyway, although according to Playmates UK we'll have to wait another 6 months for the Classics.

I might pop down to Smyths tomorrow and try and get some prices - I know they've been on the system there for a while...

The Nick foguires and the Classics are both listed on The Entertainer's site too
http://www.thetoyshop.com/Action-toys-%26-figures/c/acttoys?q=%3Aprice-asc%3Abrand%3Atmnt

Shame they're a tenner each, was hoping they'd be around £8,
£10 works out at nearly twice US retail :(

Will have to see some Classics guys before I decide whether to get them all or not, defo after a Raph tho :)

Entertainer's a bit of a crapshoot - sometimes they're much cheaper than TRU and the like, sometimes they're a couple of quid more. They tend to price the stuff that sells well higher, so it could mean they expect to shift a lot of Turtles.

TRU have confirmed that they'll be stocking the Nick figures from December 1st, although it wouldn't surprise me if they're out earlier than that.

man, I am happy for you, compadres!although the show doesn't come on the air that much later here in germany, we won't see the toys until 2013 sometime said toys r us;(...
hope they'll quickley reduce the price though!

When did Thundercats toys come out last year?
They were due in Dec but showed up early. Wondering if TMNT will do the same.

Is there a website for playmates UK? No mention of Turtles on the Flair site.

Nope. They've never had a UK-specific site. The line's being distributed through Giochi Preziosi, although there's nothing TMNT-related on their website. There's a disturbing lack of info anywhere...

Nice price on the Classics but man the price for the Nick figures sucks. I got a set of the 4 Turtles for £46 off ebay and that included shipping from US to UK!

I'll get them in store as I want to support the line and I like to pick the best paint jobs, but really these should be £7.99 max. Ah we'll, at least I won't notice the price jump as much when UK retail stops getting the new figures and I have to switch to ebay.

We made it to some of the early season 2 figures for 2K3 (if I remember right), I'm gonna be optimistic and say we might keep getting new figures until season 3 for the Nick show as I'm expecting the movie to give the line a boost between seasons 2 and 3 this time around.

Same here, thought I'd be overpaying by a fair whack to get them early, turns out I didn't...
Would hope the line lasts long enough to see Metalhead over here at least, so worried that the line is going to follow in the footsteps of Thundercats tho...

Cheers,

Chris

10-05-2012, 01:00 PM

Yeah, the price kinda makes me wish I'd bought the full set off ebay, I think that might have actually worked out cheaper with one set I saw!

I kinda hoping that with us getting the line late we get the newer cases which include wave 1 and 1.5 straight away since the new figures aren't actually a new wave. Probably not but hopefully we'll at least get 1.5 before Christmas.

I wouldn't worry about support. In the US it sounds like the line is doing very well and TMNT has had a much bigger marketing push both in the US and here than Thundercats could ever dream of (which is a shame because the show was awesome and deserved a second season). 2K3 was never big over here and the line still lasted about 2 years at retail and after the movie we got more figures than the US (though I never did find Shredder), so with the new movie planned to come out in 2014, between seasons 2 and 3, there should be plenty of retail support for the figures.

Hi,

Great news for all Uk'ers, TRU has the Nick toys and the Classics in!
My local (Reading) had at least one of everything, aside from Splinter, Foot ninja and April basics.
Plenty of Classics, picked up a Raph :)

These are sold by someone else, and not Amazon directly. So you'll probably get them cheaper once they hit retail stores nation-wide. Not a bad price though if you wanna get them early... better than what's on eBay right now.

Edit - My mistake, on further inspection there ARE some sold directly by amazon.. So I guess the next wave of TMNT figs are hitting the UK! :) Awesome!! Amazon usually list the cheapest price first, and then the scalper prices are shown when you click "more", but not with these guys, which is what confused me. :P

Debenhams stock these in their toy department and they currently have 10% off online (also starts in store on Tuesday for 5 days).
Also if you have a Debenhams account card you get an extra 10% off too which must make this the best price around at the moment.

I'm glad I held of buying from Debenhams; found an even better deal!

I just popped into ASDA (a UK supermarket owned by Walmart) at lunchtime and they had the action figures at half price - only £5 each instead of £9.99, which is a bit of a bargain I think.

They only had one small peg of figures but above the main shelves there was an "additional stock" shelf (marked "ask staff for assistance") where there were more of them. As I'm reasonably tall it only took a bit of stretching to find the ones I wanted!

The store I went to was Reading (Lower Earley). After I had taken what I wanted they still had left Kraang, Leo, Don, Splinter, Shredder, April. There were more further back that I didn't see/reach so there were likely others available too.

This price has get to show up online - only seems to be an in-store promotion.

I am a native to Reading - been here many, many years. Currently in the grotty bit (South Reading) but as I'm sure you know, Reading is ridiculously expensive to buy houses! I work in Lower Earley so go to ASDA most lunchtimes for a spot of fresh air.

03-05-2013, 08:38 AM

Probably best for you to try the ASDA at The Meadway first before heading all the way over to Lower Earley!
Haven't been there in a while but would assume they have an aisle of toys too.

My boss brings his dog into the office most days and, whilst he's a nice dog, he can get a bit stinky, especially if he's been out for a walk in the rain in the morning (or worse - swimming in a ditch of stagnant water!) Thus any outdoors air is a welcome break!

I have the Classic turtles, and I was not going to get the Nick ones, but I think I might give just the 4 TMNTs a go, where would be the best place to get them online for the lowest cost? I am from the UK.

Any help would be great.

The best place I have seen online, but only for the next 4 days, is Debenhams as mentioned above - £9 each plus an extra 10% off if you have a Debenhams credit card. Free delivery too.

Might be worth waiting a few days to see if the £5 ASDA price turns up in their online store too (although there will likely be a delivery charge too).

I don't think many places are doing cheap prices as they are still pretty new, which I why I was so surprised to see them half price in ASDA.

I've not seen him anywhere. I gave up waiting and got him from the US ebay in the end. He only cost me £14.

Looks like there is a new magazine (and stickers/trading cards) coming to the UK and several other countries in May made by Panini.

Nickelodeon Global Publishing has inked a magazine deal with Panini to bring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics to European markets this May.

The 32-page magazine is headed for UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Russia, Poland and Italy and will include original comic strip content and puzzles.

In addition to the TV-tie in content, Panini will also be publishing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics in Italy, Germany and Brazil, and has picked up book publishing rights to the TV series tie-in content in Brazil and Germany.

A further deal for collectible rights on the property has been signed with Panini for Europe and Latin America and will cover classic print collectibles including Panini’s sticker collections, trading cards with or without playable elements and additional ancillary collectible items.

The Shellraiser is available at bol.com for €42,99 (http://www.bol.com/nl/p/turtles-vrachtauto/1004004013408338/).

The figures are available at Intertoys for €13,99 (http://www.intertoys.nl/speelgoed/actiefiguren-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-actiefiguren-592236.html), it's weird that the Foot Soldier is not mentioned though.

OK, I'm not using UK sites, but I'm British, so I'll chip in. The prices on line here have stabilized at around 8-9 quid with negligible postal charges.
I looked at one site yesterday that was carrying the entire range at those prices.
I was paying nearly double when they first hit the US stores, as I know that postage from the US was incorporated into the price.
It looks like it won't be long before they will be in our TRU stores and Carrefour stores. Maybe even Wallmart.

Hero

04-29-2013, 12:58 PM

Postage rates in the UK have gone up too. It costs less to send a poster to Australia than it does within our own country. Its ridiculous!

£7.80 for postage is steep, but I am guessing the amazon merchant selling Ooze figures is using Royal Mail. Even then, medium parcel rates are £6.75 (recorded).

The Ooze figures will probably retail for a little more when widespread anyway.

Hello, all. First post here after signing up back in April and forgetting :tconfuse:

Has there been any word on how well the toys are selling over here? Obviously Tesco in particular has quite a few of the items discounted. This wouldn't worry me too much except they were already doing it only a few weeks after the first wave was released.

I live in a small town but should I be worried about the figures or is it actually doing well in the UK?

Yeah, that's standard for Tesco, especially with new or popular stuff. Unless it goes to clearance, I wouldn't worry. The Nick figures seem to be selling really well in my backwards-arsed small town. Smyths & Tesco are the only places that sell the toys, but they can't restock fast enough (even April's starting to sell through). The Classics aren't selling for crap, though...

Also saw the Fishface wave in Tesco earlier, £7.50 each.

astig

06-27-2013, 01:43 AM

i remember back in april when tesco had the figures for 2.50 each. i wasn't collecting the nick figures back then, but at that price, i could not resist. i suddenly have completed wave 1 in just one day! good times :D

anyhoo, any of you guys know when/if we'll be seeing snakeweed, baxter and leatherhead here at retail? i think i read somewhere amazon have them by end of june. does that mean retail as well?

Talk about glorified pre-order ;). I've been notified my stuff won't arrive until between late July and sometime in August.

I still believe we may get these before the US though. Much cheaper either way than importing.

ASDA have lots of figures in store at those prices - at least my local one did (Reading, Lower Earley). They have a seasonal section at the back of the store and had a big section for Turtles where they had plenty of the new "Ooze" figures.

Also had loads of children's clothes (I'd need a serious diet and surgery to be able to wear any of them!) and some picnic stuff like bowls, cups, plates, cutlery, storage pots etc.

nice! i consider that asda as my local too, well at least it's the nearest one from where i live. haven't been there in ages though. do they have the classics line at £10 as well? may pop in when i have time on the weekend.:)

Got my Snakeweed, Cockroach Terminator and Rat King.

Snakedweed is about as decent as could be expected for the design and I like that Playmates made the rest of the legs a seperate add on so he actually has some genuine height. It feels really dated that characters in the line are often out of scale.

Cockroach is a decent representation of the show model but is let down by a terrible action feature. If they had some kind of push button saw gimmick, fine. But what you get is a toy with a hole in it and the saw on a ridiculously long stick that you wiggle about to simulate attacking....I think this might go the way of Metalhead's missile, with me cutting some off and glueing it into the torso. What a lame feature.

Rat King is better than I expected. I couldn't tell from photos but he actually has three rats on his body. They blend too much into his coat but it helps sell him as 'Rat King' better than just carrying one in his hand. Sadly the hat seems to be permanent.

A quick heads-up for the handful of people here who live in and around Reading (UK).
I'd not heard of the shop Smyths before (as mentioned by several people above) but they are opening a new shop in Reading in October.
It will be in the old Comet shop next to the Madjeski Stadium (it's a huge shop, unless they're dividing it up into smaller units which seems likely).
Will be somewhere else to look when buying toys...

Hadn't heard this - where was it confirmed we weren't getting season 2 till next year? Source?

Are they holding back the season 1 finale for the same reason?

If any of you do the Tesco Clubcard thing, now would be a good time to cash on the vouchers.

Most TMNT items have a Boost label on them and the vouchers are worth twice as much. Just bought the Leonardo ATV set for practically nothing!

That's a great idea Hero! I hadn't thought of using them like that. I still need Splinter but he's proving suddenly hard to get hold of, I'd better see if Tescos has him.

So, do we all think that Stealth Tech is going to be the last batch of new toys we see before Christmas?

Would be nice to have the mouser packs.
Can't complain toio much though, Flair have managed to release everything that's come out stateside, albeit a little later.

Cheers,

From what I've been told, the next waves (with the Mousers & baby turtles) won't be out here for another few months, to coincide with the new season starting.

Tried to buy Rocksteady and Bebop on the Smyths site. It now says Nov 8th. Strangely enough, Bebop's listing has changed to Classic Villains assortment.

Good deal on a boxed Cheapskate in UK (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Hero-Turtles-1988-80s-vintage-Cheapskate-Vehicle-boxed/290950871178?_trksid=p2047675.m1986&_trkparms=aid%3D555001%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D 1%26asc%3D29%26meid%3D2401503354572169800%26pid%3D 100013%26prg%3D1013%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D251 370892255%26) . I'd try and get it, but I have at least 5 already.

Stealth Tech continues to impress as I received and opened Mikey today.

Picked up Baxter at Tesco's last weekend. Saw Rat King, Snakeweed and Cockroach Terminator yesterday at Debenhams of all places but couldn't pick them up as I've just had a credit card bill for Hot Toys Catwoman and Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Killed me to leave Rat King on the shelf!

A non-sighting from me: Reading TRU no longer has any Bebop or Rocksteady. Bah! Just a lone Mikey and Don Classics on the shelf.

Reading Entertainer did have Leatherhead, Baxter, Cockroach et al.

Discogod

12-09-2013, 11:53 AM

Smyths in Kidderminster had about half a dozen Bebops, a single Rocksteady (who buys one without the other?) and a load of turtles this morning. Tesco are also doing all TMNT figures 2 for £15 right now, but they've only just got the Stealth Tech figures in...:roll:

HeroTurtlesFan

12-11-2013, 08:09 AM

Tesco Newbury had quite a few in 2 for £15: Cockroach Terminator, Baxter, the four regular Turtles, Shredder, April, Rat King and a couple of others I don't recall.

Are Ninjas in Training and MOUSERS in the UK yet? I've found a hidden page for the MOUSERS on Tesco's site and The Entertainer is selling all three.

Discogod

12-22-2013, 02:45 PM

No Mousers in Tesco or Smyths, although I did see Rat King for the first time today. I wouldn't expect to see the Mousers or NiT turtles for months based on how far behind we seem to be.

EDIT: Just ordered a couple of packs of Mousers from the Entertainer website. Should have them by Xmas eve - in theory...

Prices are much higher than anywhere short of a comic shop, the staff are useless, the stores are often filthy & untidy...

I've got a Smyths basically at the end of my street anyway, so they get most of my custom these days, and what I can't get there I get at my local comic shop, conveniently located just up the road.
