Movie Star Turtles
 

Well, I thought about the pros and cons of creating a thread for these, as I realize everyone here seems to have different opinion of what they're actually worth. But, creating a thread for them is my only other option, as I've grown tired of searching eBay... all I seem to find are incomplete, partially damaged figures and I even missed out on a few recent opportunities that were here on the drome of all places. A set of 4 MOC sold for $110.00... now, whether that's a deal is always up for debate. TMNTim sold the complete OOP line for $75.00, with free shipping... and still, some didn't think that was a deal. There were rumors that Playmates would be re-releasing these in 2010... but I dunno' what to make of that.

So, if you have a set of all four Movie Star Turtles... drop me a line.
I'll occasionally bump this thread, until I find 'em, so cross your fingers for me! :twink:

I have a MOC Leonardo that I sold on eBay but the winner turned out to be a deadbeat. I can sell it for $35 + shipping.

Which I would agree isn't bad at all. Sure, if you wait long enough you could probably find them one by one and pay less than $100 shipped, but it would probably take you 5-10 years... :tlol:

Getting mine loose/(almost)complete was hard enough lol. I wish you luck though dude!

I have three that are loose/near complete...still need six of those little silver colored stars...

Yeah good Luck Purple ! I found mine incompletes with the bandanas and I'm happy with them, but MOC, that's some rare deal, your best chance stay ebay and the drome , take a look around.

these are hard to get cheap
i have loose incomplete leo and Raph has all weapons except the shield and 2 silver stars on ebay right now hit me up and ill send u the link but it ends tonight

i had to buy a lot of 3 to get don since mine was destroyed
i agree with Oroku if you want to get them super cheap it might take a while haha
i got Raph MOC on ebay for $15 somehow who knows when ill find the others MOC

-mark-

I got mine off the drome, loose with no weapons.. Still need Don, after an Ebay mix-up, and still hunting for the colored accessories..

Thanks for the advice, offers, replies and well wishes! :tsmile:

Like you all have suggested, I'm gonna' keep searching eBay in hopes of finding 'em all. I guess my motivation was simply starting to falter and I needed to be reminded of how rare they are. Besides, I've had it pretty easy on the Drome for the past little while, with all the deals and whatnot. I guess I just hoped these figures would come as easy.

I hope some of you will understand my desire to purchase them all at once, as opposed to seeking out each figure individually. So please, don't be offended if I don't contact you in regards to one.

Edit: I notice that a lot of you seem to have this idea that I expect to get them cheap... but that isn't the case whatsoever. It's the finding them that became difficult. I never said I wanted them for a song, so please don't assume such. For example, Roseangelo's MOC Leonardo, for $35 is more than reasonable to me... and I'll even take him up on it in a short while if things don't pan out.

How much a u willin to pay for a complete set of 4 movie star turtles w all the weapons SUPER MINT fresh outta package condition w no chips? And complete mint movie foot/splinter?

im always searching for the giant movie star turtles myself. But the fact that they had no weapons or missing parts never bothered me, in the end i striped them down with some custom paint and made the weapons myself with cloth bandannas. But as far as worth, i would pay a good penny for them to me movie star line is one of the best. but thats just me. wakka wakka

I dunno'... I suppose it depends on what someone sells them for and states their price openly. I'm not really a 'make me an offer' kind of guy, unless it's my last resort. For example, a guy on tfieds.com is offering all 4 OOP (missing some weapons and accessories) for $100 OBO and when I gave him a decent offer of $90, he refused. :ohwell: Mind you, I'm kinda' glad about that now, as I don't wanna' have to waste my time tracking the stuff down.

I guess that's why I like the Drome so much... most people are willing to state what they want for an item, rather than haggle.

I have a giant movie star Mike if you're interested.

I'm still looking for raph and Mikey movie star giant , they look harder to find than leo and Don.

Like I said, I have Mike. PM me an offer if you're interested.

What do YOU guys think of the MOC figures that are currently on eBay... there's a lot of 6 currently at $200 and the individual figures for 44.99. Looking for some opinions... should I wait for a cheaper lot or jump at these? :tconfuse:

My Leo is relisted @ $35.

just wait till the end of year to see if there's reissue if im u. However the chance of re-issue is like lower than 1%, consider the 25th line didnt do that well either... ...

I will say 100$ for 4 of them loose MINT complete is a great deal, and for the MOC ones, i will say 160$.

Well, I managed to find a great looking MOC set of 4 for just about that price with free shipping! Yeah, I hate to admit it but I've been doubtful about the possibility of a re-release as well. Hence, why I so desperately wanted a set of the originals. I guess this thread can be closed now that I'm done looking. :tgrin:
