Damn, what are you guys complaining about. Just buy them online. I live in the Netherlands and have no difficulties to get the figures I want. You must be happy to live in the country where NECA is active, people like me must import everything.

Leatherhead FTW!

Ok, they are not perfect but defo best Rocksteady and Bebop figures ever made :D (IMO)

I made some changes to Bebop:

1. I repainted his eyes - I know he will be wearing his shades most of the time but all black eyes bothered me (I added solid black pieces to cover the holes)
2. I painted his pony tail purple - this was not wrong as it changes depending on the episode but I prefer it like that.
3. I gave him drillgun from old Playmates Bebop and just painted more cartoony :)

Wow amazing work my friend! Now he is perfect imo!

Casey and leatherhead are way too small.
If they packaged Casey with a foot, that will be the first pair of figures i'll be passing in this line. Not feeling it.

Color me excited to get these! Love the foot soldiers.

I agree, NECA should be prepared for the demand of the awesomeness they have created. The supply should meet the demand, win win

NECA is not good at this.

So I’m guessing I wasn’t beat to the punch tonight when I went and found an entire case of series 2 but not one B&R. For a min I was mad that I didn’t stop sooner but likely wouldn’t have mattered. Worker said the figures showed up as discontinued on his handheld pricer and said there were -5 in store...meanwhile on the shelf you couldn’t fit another 2 pack :roll:

Not everyone has PayPal or a credit card but it's cute that you think they might.

Just sayin'.

Is anyone excited for bashed foot and slashed foot?
Is everyone picking up all sets or can somebody justify why not to?

Target's Website doesn't have any neca TMNT stuff so just like actual target stores they have jack ****. Than it leaves Ebay with all those asshole scalpers. so buying online isn't easier.

I agree, I want Bebop and Rocksteady so bad but I'm not willing to pay double the in-store price to someone on ebay.

The **** part of this all is that with the announcement of wave 3 I can almost guarantee it is gonna leave me (and I'm sure others) resulting to paying scalper prices eventually because we have no other way of getting them.

When wave 2 was announced the very small amount of wave 1 figures I saw immediately disappeared from Target shelves. I went into a local collectors shop the other day and they have a couple left over sets of Raph/Foot for $89 each! At the rate Bebop/RS are actually showing up in stores vs the amount being scalped, I have a feeling by the time wave 3 hits they are going to be a hell of alot more expensive than paying scalpers price now.

I don't even want to imagine how much people are going to have to pay in order to get a full set of wave 3 figures. I could care less about the Foot Soldiers, they are cool and all but I already have the Foot from the SDCC collector set. I just want Casey, April and the Slash/Leatherhead set. It kind of sucks to be a collector of such a hard to find toyline and it almost destroys the fun of it.

Are wave 1 figures impossible to find in stores now?
When next wave hits, do the previous wave disappear?

Thanks bud, I think even without the changes he looks great but I like to add all the small details.

No at all, I wasn't planning to add any more Foot Soldiers as i don't have the display space but now I will have to add at least 3 (if I can get them) I want to pick up 2 April sets to customise one and keep the other one mint. I read somewhere the Krang vs Shredder is the 4th set in this wave but I'm not sure if this is 100% confirmed.

I also made the helmet for Rocksteady in similar style to go with Neca's Rock.

That looks so much better, RS looks naked without it.

I know that's it's usual to have a credit card in the USA. In my country it's not and quite irrelevant. So PayPal is a cery good alternative for me.

Give me one good reason for not having a account on PayPal.

Great. I hope you know it soon. You would make me very happy. I completes the look and feel of Rocksteady!

I can't say for certain, but I haven't seen them in any Target since. As soon as Wave 2 was on shelves Wave 1 was gone. The only place I have seen them was in a Collector's Shop that resells new and vintage toys.

This looks great! Did you sculpt this or did you repaint the helmet for the Playmates Classic Collection Rocksteady?

My local store restocked a few wave 1 sets when wave 2 finally hit their shelves. I assume my Target is not special.

Agreed. Even though I liked the season 1 helmet, the other seasons without the helmet made me get used to the look. I love Cam Clarke's take on Rocksteady's voice and I'm glad that B&R weren't sporadic characters like Baxter.
