I am so mad!!!

:evil::evil::evil::evil:

Ok, so I already know that my Walmart doesn't have any TMNT toys. So I went to Target with my friend and I checked the toy isle. Well, guess what? NO TMNT TOYS. The only place was to get toys from Toys R Us, but it's about 1 hour away from my house. What's up with these stores? What if there's something I want? Oh, I know, just hop on eBay and get it for an unbeatable price of $500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my target has tmnt toys. So maybe yours didn't restock yet. Take it easy. It isn't the end of the world.

Both of my targets don't sell TMNT items either, playmates is probably through with making and distributing the movie line figures.

IamtheKnight 01-03-2009 12:25 PM

Are you sure they didn't restock yet?

dripgutz24 01-03-2009 12:55 PM

I know I'm sure because they replaced the turtle section with other action figures in both the targets I live by.

Ah yes. Welcome to the post-Christmas re-merch.

If the show ends this year, I hope Playmates stops producing TMNT figures. It just wouldn't be right to see the toyline continue and no cartoon, at least not for this series.

As ticked as I was that NECA is sitting on series 2 and playmates was doing comic figures, I've sorta come to see that it's too fuzzy to put the blame on anyone. So now that I've calmed down, I don't want the playmates comic figures to do poorly. If they're all we get fine, they're not nearly as good but I don't want them to fail. It would suck if the 25th anniversary is also the second "death" of the TMNT.

That's the same with me. There used to be WWE toys and Ben 10 toys beside it and they put more WWE toys where the TMNT toys were supposed to be.

Hmm whenever I go to the US, the Wal*Marts there still have TMNT stuff...

When was the last time you went, and if you remember Murph said Wal-Mart's getting rid of TMNT wouldn't take place until spring 2009.

its not an uncommon thing here in noryaw. The TMNT's popularity have started to fade away. so most stores only got leftovers even toys r us.

But the sales people are dumb down here for not marketing better, I mean He-man came out and I didn't know it was canceled in a week. The biker mice came back same deal, theres one store that sells them. but it does not help much selling toys when the kids don't know who they are, no one of the shows are airing except on cartoon network wich not many have and they air tmnt and biker mice at night time:dead:

Drtooth 01-04-2009 09:35 AM

My Targets still carry them... and unfortunately, it looks like they've both increased the price AND they still have the same ones they've had for over a year on their shelves... which makes no freaking sense to me at all.... I understand that because of the increase in shipping costs NEW figures would cost more... but they already got those ones in. A while ago.

Of course, another Target I went to didn't have any TMNT figures (or many of them at least) because they actually sold them. One even had the Sub Sewers line. It varies from store to store, though.
