I wonder if they've got them exclusively... I've looked in Wal-mart, Walgreens, buncha different places that carry Pez dispensers. Never saw 'em. Huh. Well, good find!

I too have checked everywhere and haven't found 'em yet...I even check TRU every time I go. I can't wait to display them with my originals and the 2k3 dispensers.

Likewise! I'm not even all that keen on Pez dispensers really, but I was gifted both the originals & 2k3 versions, so I figured I may as well complete the set. & these sculpts are sharp!

The sculpts are fantastic. The picture doesn't do these justice. The eyes are actually sculpted down into the bandanna to give it more depth. Very cool 3d design. They were 2.29 a piece. Caught them out of the corner of my eye when I was about to check out.

Edit: just wanted to add for donatello19 that the eye color is actually correct on all of them. Big bonus in my book.

Just found these along with four new notebook/folder designs for this new school year. Also found a sliding pencil case for a dollar. All at walmart.

Hehe love em. Didn't see those at mine. I did see the spiral notebooks though and grabbed one. Different images on front and back which is pretty nice. And looks like each notebook has a different Turtle upfront of the group in the image.

I love the folders and notebooks. The double sided images are pretty cool and it is neat that the folders and notebooks match. Another positive is that they are completely different from last years. Only downside is that there are only four of them. Wish there would have been more. The sliding pencil case I am unsure of still. it is neat just sort of a flimsy plastic. I also found an OT turtle bookbag. Picked that up as well for $9.99. It was nice to see something that wasn't nick themed in the school supplies.

Dunno if anyone has seen these, but I'm in Germany right now and yesterday I went to a store that had some TMNT stuff. Figures, just Stockman and the Ooze and normal turtles, but that was expected. But I found the blind bags and I also found these spin top battler things. There was a mutagen launcher with Donnie or Kraang for about 7 euro, a blind bag series was was around 2.50 euro a bag, (box showed Raph, Shredder, Splinter and a human Kraang) and a arena for about 20 euro that came with two launchers and a storage container for the spinners and launchers that when closed the top was like a little wrestling ring. Came with Leo and Spider Bytez. The spinners are only around an inch tall.
Anyone heard of these?

I haven't seen those at all but they do remind me a lot of some old spinners type toys that featured the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers back in the mid-nineties. I really enjoyed them and collecting them was fun as heck. I remember trying to buy all of the power rangers, their allies, the villains, and all of the zords as those spinners. You would then battle them with a friend in a plastic arena thing and see who's spinner was the last one spinning and that person won. I still have those Power Rangers ones too!

I was at Toys R Us today and was able to find the Nick TMNT PEZ dispensers. They had about three or four of everyone....except Raph who I was after. But they did have just one of him left which I did purchase.

As DonatelloFan1984 said about the PEZ dispensers, they are very interesting to look at in person. Especially with the eyes the way they are in a sunken in kind of position. They all looked really good and Leo looked the most cartoon accurate.

Those spin fighters (brand name of those spining tops)were awesome! I still have my power ranger ones as well. I could see a tmnt themed set doing very well. I love those pez dispensers! Went back for a second set just so I could open the ones I already bought. You are right Leo is the best looking followed by Mikey in my opinion. I love that he has his freckles.

Yeah they were great and I agree that a TMNT themed set would be amazing and I would want to buy them as well. I also agree with you that Mikey is the second most accurate to the Nick show. I also feel that depending on how you look at Mikey's eyes, he looks either happy like he's supposed to or a bit angry. It just reminds me of how the original PEZ dispensers had two variants of a "happy" turtle and a "mad" turtle. Maybe I'm thinking or looking at it too hard but that's what came to my mind.

Those look like fun toys for kids

I saw a commercial on Nick today for mail away TMNT Go-Gurt "tube chillers" (they're just pouches that fit the Go-Gurt tubes) on specially marked boxes. There's one for each turtle. The commercial was cute because the turtles pop out of a sewer lid near the kids eating the Go-Gurt and Mikey yells "Booyakasha!".

I find that commercial/product incredibly disturbing for some reason.

Sorry if this was already posted but my girlfriend and I were pretty excited to see this at our local Walmart.

Most of the time those displays are empty boxes that are shipped pre built.
