I just got the SDCC set of Black & White NECA's (with bases) NIB for $125 shipped. This is an amazing set! I have the colored NYCC set as well and I almost think I like these better since the B&W tones make them so unique. Hope you manage to find one!

I can't start a brand new thread here yet, but I'm ALSO looking for a set of the Black and White NECA Turtles. Boxed or loose with all the accessories...I'm going to be ripping them out of the box anyway, so I'm just looking for a better deal than what I've seen on eBay.

Thanks, everyone!

You can't start a thread in the b/s/t area for a reason... You should read forum rules and try to abide by them. You have a very small chance of anyone wanting to sell you anything if you are already breaking the rules

It really doesn't take a whole lot of effort to post 20 times before being able to create your own thread.

What rule is he breaking? He acknowledges he can't make a thread yet, posted in a thread that expresses his goals (which I'm sure he searched for) which also hasn't been bumped in four months, and was pretty polite. I don't see where in the rules where it says you can't bump a thead like that. It's not like he was listing his auctions in someone else's auction page.

I was in his same position, and totally didn't feel like spamming, so it's taken me a decent time to get to the required number of posts to make a thread, but I don't need to make a thread. I think he did the best thing by bumping a dead thread with similar interests instead of spamming or making quick posts to meet the requirements.

Good luck on your quest poster! But it seems like ebay prices are here to stay for a while. If you don't care about the diorama or mint boxes etc, keep an eye out for the Chinese sellers. You can usually find loose sets and sets sans street scenes for about 125 shipped.

By skirting the 20 posts/1 month rule and posting in someone else's B/S/T.

That's what's against the rules. Just because you CAN do something to keep from breaking the letter of the rule doesn't mean it's any less wrong.

And 20 non-spam posts is fairly easy in an active board like this. It makes someone look like they are just using the boards as a glorified eBay when they feel the need to use work-arounds for a very easy before-you-buy/sell limit.

EDIT: Oh, and those sold by the Chinese sellers are bootleg NECA figures that were only made for the colored ones, not the black and white variants.

Before participating in this section, please read the following guidelines.
In order to start a thread in this section, you must have been a member for at least a week and have at least 20 posts (permissions are applied automatically and may take up to an hour). You're welcome to reply to any thread even if you don't meet those requirements yet, though.
Please do not post about your own sales/auctions in another person's sale/auction thread.
You may not sell anything illegal here. This includes downloaded episodes/movies, copied DVDs, and comic scans.
Bumping your threads is allowed in this section, but please don't bump more than once every 48 hours. Any post that is made for no other reason than bringing a thread to the top is considered a bump.

No where does it say that a poster can't reply stating that they too are looking for the same item (even if an arbitrary set of minimums hasn't been met, and its one week btw) in a dead thread. There is no rule skirting as you put it because they didn't try to make a new thread, and they didn't try to sell their wares in someone else's sales thread.

But I'm almost positive that the poster was like me, initially joining because I was looking for a specific set of figures. And not being able to make a thread saying "hey this is what I'm looking for this is why I joined". The first thing I did after joining was search the forums for who was selling what I wanted, and I sent out a ton of pm's. but I suppose that too was against the rules because they didn't say that I could...

And yeah the Chinese sets are bootlegs (debateable) but if the op doesn't care then that's a better deal for him as he is concerned about price and is going to "rip them out of the box" anyway.

He also wanted Black and White....which weren't ever bootlegged.

So you came to buy stuff...and it seems to pick fights. Good to know.

i got lambasted too for posting comments in old threads... of course i didnt notice mine was years old but if you're new, you might not have noticed or read everything... be friendly and help the guy, don't stick a spike in his face and be all up in arms about it...

You called them bootlegs, I said that was debatable,
But when the item doesn't come in a box, or its from a cn seller things look fishy.

Yes I came to buy things, not to start fights. But it seems that too many people on these boards have entitlement issues, claiming these boards as theirs and only theirs; and are extremely hostile and negative towards any outsider. Ill stand up for myself and others when I feel there is undue hostility, I'd hardly call that starting a fight.

Ill stay to participate in something I care about, contribute to something my family loves, possibly sell something, and maybe just to annoy those who are so bothered by just my presence.

Buyer, good luck. May you find what you're looking for and get what you need.

Thanks for the support, UsagiYo...but I understand why everyone's getting all uppity. Sorry, guys!

And I have no intention of buying the colored Chinese bootlegs. I just want a set of the black and white figures for less than $500 (which was how much a set was going on eBay for). I figured I should look for a set here because there's a better chance that collectors here would have an extra set they'd want to let go of.
