Some info about Quarry
 
I was at my Wal-mart buying Stone Biter, Razor Fist, Turtle Bot, Giant Mouser, and Leatherhead and the guy in the toy department was dragging in a bunch of boxes. On one box it said Quarry. I asked the guy what was inside in the box and he said he couldnt open the box. I followed him to the back and some guy back there opened the box to make sure the right stuff was inside and I saw the back of the carded toy and it was Quarry! I could read anything because it was to far away but I saw Quarry.
I saw this kinda pic

It was Quarry for sure. I asked the guy when I would be able to buy it and he said
"Come wednsday we stock the shelves then"
So I have until then to make some money and buy one! But Ill have to do it Wednsday because if I dont their probly going to pull them all of the shelves because Im sure it was a mistake that they shipped it

Your lucky! I saw one back in April but didn't know they were being delayed so I past on her. But hopefuly I can get one soon. I hope you are able to buy it!

Cool that's great news. I'll check this week too, maybe they'll bring in some new stock. There are practically no figures in my area. By the time I check mostly everything is gone. Have you seen any new shipments with DVD's in your area? All the toy places in my area are out. :(

I had to go to Toyrus the other day for some kids birthday and I checked out the turtles toy isle and the half of their isle were those toys with DVDs. The other half were the mutation toys and the vechials. But yeah Im putting money aside for my main girl Quarry! I just got some money for god old Mom for doing some chores I forgot about lol But I still have enough to buy 3 other and still have enough to get her. I said I wasnt going to get variants but Space Hoppin Don and Raph are to tempting to pass up and since I dont want those stupid looking Toddler Turtles Im going to skip them and just get Turtle Titan with the Space Hoppin ones I want :) Since Turtle Titan is the only one I need to finish off what I buy.

KROW 06-26-2004 11:39 PM

That's great news, Spitfire, but I think you should have posted it on my thread that says, "Quarry Not Due Out Possibly Untill Fall 2004".

It's okay, though. I'm sure you did not see it.

Anyway, again that's great news. Good luck getting it.

Spitfire 06-26-2004 11:47 PM

I might be interested in buying one.

TMNTGal 06-27-2004 12:03 AM

Places besides WalMart carry the DVD's?! I wasn't aware of that since my local TRU, Target or KB don't have any. Anyone know where to find those figures with Trading cards inside. I really want those.

Spitfire 06-27-2004 12:23 AM

Those I havnt seen at all but Ill look for them. For awhile all my Walmart had were those possible figures. Then they finially updated their stock or something

I havn't seen the dvd figures anywhere besides wal-mart either...
and my local toys r us always stocks there shelves...odd...I was pretty sure those wre wal-mart exclusives...
but who knows toys r us could have bitche dor something...it'd be nice though because as you said tmntgal it's been hard to find all of the dvd figures...
-VM
p.s. btw if there is a quarry I'd like one as well please!

Spitfire 06-27-2004 01:00 AM

Yeah Ill do my best to get a few for you guys!
As for the DVD figures Ill ask the guys who work there. Knowing my toysrus they probly got their boxes mixed up with walmart or walmart over stocked on them or some crap.

cqb101 06-27-2004 08:44 AM

That's awesome! If you can get an extra I'd love to buy it from you. LMK.

Put your name on the list.

Good to hear Quarry may be showing up this week(though it's odd the official site doesn't have a MOC picture up yet). I'm already doing a huge toyrun this week on Thursday anyway, so this just gives me one more thing to watch for then. :)

Yeah I think my Walmart just got a shipment by mistake but mistake or not they better put them on the shelf!

rayfillet101 06-28-2004 07:58 PM

wow. What state do you live in? They usually start on the west coast and move eastern. Keep in mind that the TMNT website does not know much when it comes to merchandise. Many of it is out of their hands so do not expect them to have up to the minute info on new figs! so quarry is quite possible!

Spitfire 06-28-2004 08:03 PM

I live in California

That is usually the standard with every line, but I've not found that to be the case with TMNT. Usually the first day they're reported hitting, it's somewhere in the Northern Mid-west. I usually see Minnesota get them first, for some reason. By the second day they're hit, Kentucky has them, followed by the east coast on the third day.

I've noticed that once a wave of TMNT hits, within a week, they're everywhere, in multiple states, at multiple retailers. At least Playmates does THAT right...

Of course, Quarry is an oddity, and defies logic.

Spitfire 06-28-2004 08:47 PM

I need to like make a list here of who wants one lol

Please tell us!

Spitfire 07-01-2004 03:48 PM

Couldnt go to the store yesterday but I went today. The shelves were not stocked I asked the guy what gives and he said their behind or something. I asked him if I could just buy them out of the box in the back and he said no because their not allowed to do that. That was the guy who worked in the toy department who said that. Then I asked the manager because the guy who works in the toy deaprtment is a jerk anyways. The manager said that if the toy department guy doesnt stock shelves on time then I can go get what I want out of the back. So I went back there and asked the guy for the Quarry figures and he said he couldnt find them but hes sure he remembers seeing the box for them because he had moved them earlier that day. I guess Ill have to wait until the stock shleves. If its only one box Ill have to get them reallllly fast

Spitfire 07-01-2004 11:18 PM

I swear if I see that toy guy is going to get it if he's doing that! I dont trust that guy :x

TheCloneRanger 07-01-2004 11:20 PM

Are we thinking this is a whole case of Quarry figures? 16 Quarries? If that's the case, (heh...case...) I don't think we're going to have any trouble finding her.

Spitfire 07-01-2004 11:33 PM

Thats only 16 figures though. With all the little brats that run through my store heres what will happen
5 kids will buy figures
4 kids will run around the store with get told they cant have them and then cry and put it back in the wrong place
3 kids will destroy the packageing
The reamining 4 will stay in the toy asile
Tommrow and the day after Im celebrating my birthday so I cant go to the store! Cross your fingers that those figures dont see the shelf!

either that or he is ********ting you...
cause those assz at stores like to do that to people...
I remember when I was a little boy I used to go to toys r us and they would lie to me and tell me this and that had come out when it hadn't even shipped yet.....or they told me that yea theres a toy of that guy he just came out I got him the other day...god that pissz me of so damn much!
that's why when I hit my teen years I made sure i got a job at toys r crap....and helped everyone i could with usfullinformation and make sure the shleves were stocked even if I'd get yelled at lol.

Spitfire 07-01-2004 11:56 PM

He cant lie to me I saw the damn box and a figure come out of the box so no ones gona tell me there not at the store. If I have to Ill sneak into the back my friend works there on Sundays and he'll let me in the back. I could steal the whole box if I wanted to but Ill pay for them
