This is good news, right?? Of course! But the down side is, I have no money. :(

JameO 06-29-2003 12:42 PM

Yeah we've had them for a couple of weeks now. Got all the 5' figures but now I have to get some money for vehicles and the Leonardo swords and Donny's Bo Staff and the huge figures.

The 7th Turtle 06-29-2003 12:48 PM

in Israel we've got them for over a month now.... how's that you only got them for sevral weeks?

Stone Ill 06-29-2003 01:55 PM

Wouldn't several weeks almost equal a month? And we don't know..Damn lazy americans can't move some toys accross the border..

The 7th Turtle 06-29-2003 03:29 PM

i meant two months...

and shipping things to Israel these days involves a big pain in the @$$, because of all the security problems.... but who knows what Americans are capable of :P (no meaning to offence anyone)

Toys 'R Us in Toronto has all the Series One figures, The Shell Cycle, The Battle Shell, Leo's Sword, and Don's Bo.

Now, if only I could find Series Two figs, I'd be one happy turtle! :tlol:

CoolWhip 07-09-2003 06:31 PM

I hope there's some in Calgary here.....

Gotsta phone Toys R Us tomorow!!

blank 07-10-2003 08:53 PM

They're in Calgary, I checked today :). Don't buy them all please... save some for me!!

Oh, and they're 7 cents cheaper at Walmart compared to Toys 'R Us, thought you should know.

If you go to any of the stores in Calgary, could you please post how many they have left? I can do the same for you, I might be checking the Deerfoot Outlet Mall Walmart tomorrow.

That's the best you got Mr. Canada? Bring it on! :P

Stone Ill 07-11-2003 06:31 PM

Oh, it's already been bur-oughten!

cqb101 07-11-2003 06:47 PM

:lol:

PanMan 07-13-2003 10:34 PM

i heard they were at the Superstore but haven't seen em yet . . .

$9.99 . . . well they're cheaper than MOTU :D

PanMan 07-17-2003 09:48 PM

well i just got one today. i got shredder for 9.88

they had all the figs there (except for splinter i think). i didn't look through the whole stack but the most abundant figure was mikey. don and raph had alot of figures too. i only saw one foot soldier, 3 shredders and a couple leos. i didn't see (or look for) splinter though.

and about the shredder fig, it is a good one but i don't like how the right arm has an elbow joint and therefore it can't be put down straight (like his left). the weapons are also quite floppy and his swords are bent from the package. anybody know how to fix this?

Stone Ill 07-18-2003 01:03 AM

9.88 (I assume you meant 9.99) was the price? what was it including tax? they should really put that on price tags :roll:

PanMan 07-18-2003 06:21 PM

no it was 9.88 and the tax worked out to be 11.36 (15%).

the one complaint i have about shredder is that his right arm is screwed up because of that elbow joint. i also noticed that the foot soldier has the same type of elbow joint on his left arm. hopefully the TMNT don't have those.

but it is a really cool fig. i love his left arm, and that "wolverine claw". his head also looks to be a tad big and his shoulder armour limits his arms, but otherwise this is an awesome fig. oh, and the swords suck because they are thin and floppy.

Bry 07-18-2003 07:08 PM

I picked them all up tonight from the Real Canadian Superstore. There was a shelf full of them, and between my childish, gleeful giggling, I rifled through them and grabbed one of each.

VERY cool figures. I'm playing around with them as I type this. :tthumbsu:

It's a good day to be me. :thyper:


No vehicles, though... :tgrumble:


(apologies - I just looooves the turtle-emoticons.)

PanMan 07-19-2003 08:40 AM

the odd thing is that i haven't seen them at walmart or zellers yet :-?

Beh, I haven't either. I figure they're just being lazy about it, as per usual.

Do you have a Superstore in town? If so, hurry up and go! You'll be getting TMNT and shopping at an actual Canadian chain! :twink:

I have found them at 2 Zellers in BC. The vehicles were also there. They had a ton of Sewer Sliders and Shell Cycles, but no Battle Shells. I think both the vehicles were priced at $19.99. I didn't pick them up cause luckily, I already have them from a haul down in the US :)

So keep those eyes peeled!

PanMan 07-23-2003 06:43 PM

just saw them at walmart the other day . . . 9.92 . . . what a rip-off!!! i got them for 9.88 at superstore :lol:

Stone Ill 08-30-2003 10:41 AM

I know this is old, but..oh well.

I went to Zellers the other day, because I had to go with my mother to get something, and I just wandered off and stumbled upon the toys section. I was looking around and couldn't find a thing.

But, after careful inspection I found a bunch of Mini-Turtles. There was:
0 Leonardo
1 Michelangelo
1 Raphael
c-15 Donatello

Then, I found the Sewer Slider.

But, since I didn't have any money, I didn't get to bring any home.. :(

SkaterMike 08-30-2003 02:33 PM

On vancouver island so far all I've seen is the wave 1 figures. In TRU theres plenty of the four turtles, shredder, splinter, and the foot soldier, but still no vehicles. In stores like wal mart and zellers, theres an abundance of mike and don's, but the rest are pretty hard to find.

Also, check the figures before you buy them. My Shredder's right hand was broken out of it's socket, but luckily I was able to put it back in.
