Fast Forward Toys at Big Lots!

I went to Big Lots (a closeout store) and found all the Fast Forward turtles (basic line) along with Cody, Serling, and Splinter. They were $5.50 each. I don't know if this is just for the Big Lots in my area, or if they all are getting them.

They are so cute! They have articulated feet and such shapely legs. XD Their translucent weapons are so neat! *hugs them*

hehe it would be awsome if we end up seeing the un-released figures at some point at biglots it's such a shame they made all of those characters to not release an entire line.
Thanks for the heads up.

We have a Big Lots here in West Plains, but I haven't been in it lately to check to see if THEY have ANY TMNT action figures...Fast Forward, or otherwise. But, thanks to YOUR tip, Dorkfish, I will DEFINITELY be going next month when I get my mitts on some money!

I actually HAVE FF Raph and Leo already. I got Raph at Wal-Mart for whatever price he was, and I got Leo at a Dollar General store in Mountain View, MO, for $5.00 a few months ago. Haven't been back there to see if they still HAVE any FF figures, but I'm going to try to talk my mom into going a day or two after we get the bills paid next month. Hopefully they'll still have them. They ALSO had Mikey (I THINK), Dark Mikey and Leo, which I wanted to get, as well, but didn't have enough for them all. Drat it.

I've actually found rare and hard to get toys before at Big Lots, so you never know. And thanks for the heads up, I never picked any up but I kinda wish I did. I may grab a few.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those Secret Agent figures. Raph actually looked really cool and un-Fast Forwardy.

And all for just over the ammount Target was selling them for.

There aren't any in my area, so if anyone just buys up as many as they can and somehow ends up with a few Donatellos, PM me....

Today at WM I noticed the remaining FF toys were priced down to $3.50. I would have missed them but I happened to spot them at the end of the clearance aisle. For that price I figured why not, I picked up an extra Viral.

The local Big Lots had TONS of FF figures. I was able to pick up that last couple (Cody and Jammerhead) I needed to complete the set. While I was looking through them I noticed that the Donatello had a bunch weapons where as the one I have only has his Bo. Does anyone know if every turtle has a variant like this or just Don??

Every Fast Forward figure from the first release has variants except Serling.

Target cleared them out months ago. I would have got Don, but by the time I got back, they sold the last ones. They didn;t even have Cody. Stupid Stomache flu I got prevented me from going that weekend. It's a double edged sword when things sell like hotcakes the second they hit clearance. They sell, but you know they won't order any more.

Do you own these prototypes?

Playmates owns these prototypes.

It's Biggles, not Biggtos-

Fast Forarward was not selling, or at least that's what the fans told Playmates.

Man, I would actually love to own all of those figs. I would have spent money on them if they would have been released, no doubt about it. Probably a good thing they weren't then cuz I can't stop myself from buying new figures I don't have.
