Most Hard To Come Buy Figures in Recent TMNT Lines
 

This may have been discussed before (again, I'm new), but broken down into the seperate lines: 2K3, FF, and TMNT movie - What are the hardest to come by figures of each of the sets (and most valuable)?

I've been collecting the basic figures since the 2K3 line and it seems that the hardest ones for me personally to get were: 1. Quarry, 2. Jammerhead, and 3. Gen.

Most of time I guess I was just lucky enough to make it to the store at the right time, after they had recently put them out or something, but I've had decent luck initially finding the rest. Now, seeing them ever again on shelves AFTER the fact, that's another story. I was just curious as to which ones were the most difficult to hunt down now days, after some of them have began to "age", so to speak.

Thanks!

I have Quarry and Jammerhead. I think Gen and Usagi are hard to find I've never seen either on the self once.

Yeah, for some reason Quarry and Jammerhead are the only two I've had to track down online. Luckily I found the rest in stores.

Saying what I've been saying, basically any figure that isn't a turtle varient. All the others got shortpacked.

That's not true at all.

I was lucky enough to find Quarry in the clearance section at WM!!

How about that?? :)

Quarry, Utroms, Bishop, Gen and Purple Dragons. Hard for me to find. But I think I might have put together a decent trade to finish off my 2K3 Needs!

:D:D:D:D

Film at eleven!

Whaaaa? They actually made the Purple Dragon figure? I thought that one kept getting pushed back. And the Gunjin figure from the FF line?

Yea, the Purple is so hard to find because it was never released...:)

I think Usagi, Gen, Bishop, Baxter Robot for a while, Utrom, and most recently Shredded & Sloth but those are getting more common...

Also, I think the Ninja Action Foot Soldier, Shredder, & Splinter were a bit tricky to find as well

I saw a Gen in a Walgreens one night, now I wish I had gotten him. I have an Utrom, I found him easily. I saw a Jammerhead early on in FF period. Never saw an Usagi, Baxter Robot, and I think that's about it. I have a Bishop too.

Oops I had no idea. LOL.. No wonder its impossible to find!! LOL!!

Well I was at Walgreens about 2 weeks ago, and I ALWAYS check the toy department of any store I go into for new TMNT stuff. I walk up to the Turtle area and the very first character on the hook was a Gen, but the cardboard hook thing was broken, so I kept digging through the maybe 10 toys they had, and I found a second Gen. I know when I was looking for this character awhile ago, I never saw it at the major stores (Walmart, Target, Kmart). Then all of a sudden, one to open, one to keep in the box. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Besides the 2 Gens, they had several Virals, and alot of early turtle variants (space hoppin, underwater, etc.).

The hardest character for me to find was Quarry. I got it on ebay after I heard it was going to be so rare for $15. A week later, I got one at Walmart for $5.99. Oh well...

One last thing, TMNT movie minis are found at Family Dollar for $1. I bought a brand new unopened display case, and it is still shrink wrapped with the shipping label on it. The lady looked at me weird, but she doesn't know what it's like to find something like that. I gave her my phone number and told her to call me when they get more. I saw these on ebay last year as "Christmas ornaments" because someone screwed a little eyelet into the minis head.

Regular movie action figures are also $5.99 all the time, and Family Dollar gets alot at a time, but since not many people go there, they have the same batch of toys for a long time. I do not know how big the chain of stores is, or if there is one near you. It is NOT a dollar store, but it is cheaper than other places.

Hmmm, I've havent been for a while but they do get pretty goo deals there...I didn't know they had the movie figs already...im gonna have to check my local stores soon

Yeah, Family Dollar is a good place to check. I went last week to the one here in town and scored the entire set of the mini figs. That was a big deal to me because Dollar General here did not get any in.
They also had the regular movie figs, all at $5.99 each. I had them all (it was the 4 turtles and casey and some of the motorcycle sets for $12.99) but it was still cool to see the toys there. I am going to check other locations to see what I can find.

UH-UHHHHHHHHHHHH I saw it at wal mart in '04!

yeah sure ya did seeing as playmates themselves admits that the figure was never released, not a single one has ever shown up on ebay or any other online shops for that matter.

I'm Telling You I Saw It!!i Picked Mikey And Leo Over It!

You probably saw a Hun figure dude.

Oh um, this is awkward aye yae yae
sorry fer the mixup
