There are a few YouTube videos that show the difference between the songs. The original arcade game used the theme music that was directly from the show, but due to legalities and royalties and other such stuff, Arcade1up had a new recording of the song made. It’s similar but not the original soundtrack. From what I have heard, the rest of the game is intact as well as all of Turtles in Time. It is just the intro to the original arcade game that had to be replaced.

Happy to say after going to 3 Walmarts in my area I finally found one with actual associates working who were excited to tell me "We do have them, but they're still in back. Technically they have a street date for next week" After squealing like a little school girl they let me buy one early and it is currently in my back seat!

OMG the thing weighs a ton! I have to wait for my boyfriend to get home to get it up my stairs! The wait is KILLING ME!

Success here too!

I'll share some info in hopes it helps your hunt too.

I had a pre-order from the second round of Walmart drop with a store pick up date of November 25th. I say about three days I started to see reports of in store stock sightings on reddit, twitter, instagram. Some even complaining their pick up order was sold to a random walk in. This started the frenzy of the hunt. It didn't help that online in stock tracking sites were not working at all for accurate reports. Brickseek, etc. Soooo I went old school method and just started calling store after store whenever my normal work life had time for it anyway. I called over 50 ****ing stores easily. No joke. The record of worse interaction, this girl who had no clue what teenage mutant ninja turtles were. Even asked me to spell it, awkward as it gets right there.

This method wasn't working so I took to Instagram asking for other shellheads be on lookout for me in Southern California. It's important to use hashtags #tmnt and #arcade1up. Someone reported stock in Rialto which was 60 miles from me. **** it. I called the store, confirmed, had it put on hold, and made the drive. Victory 🍕 and 🍻 was waiting for me upon my return.

Tips:

Big car. I have a full size sedan, Kia Optima. It barely fit in the back seat, perfect size honestly.

Bring a friend. This box is heeeeeavy. I had to prop a shopping cart against a aisle and lever it on top of my cart. Also had help from random stranger getting it in my car. Fun stuff.

My total was $430 something after California tax.

Good luck!

*Redrumh2o* · 10-06-2019, 01:40 PM

Back in stock.......and I just ordered one for local pickup....going to get it after football today!!

statik · 10-06-2019, 02:25 PM

I have more tips in regards to the build process.

Seriously listen here.

The instructions are okay but honestly there's some things I would add to it. Learn from my mistakes. I had to rebuild a new one due to a scratched screen I didn't discover till I removed the protective film. I know right?

Okay first off:

The parts bag, there's a bag in there marked "riser". Don't open it! Leave it last. The reason why is because small parts are labeled some of the same letters from the main build and they are different in size. Don't mix that **** up.

When you get to the monitor screen step, before you put it in position when that step comes up. Take the appropriate screwdriver and loosen the four corner screws. Loosen. After that peel at the protective film and get it off only the borders and off the screws. Leave it on the main screen. I tell you this because a step way later tells you to remove the film finally and it's a pain in the ass with all the later parts of the build in the way. You can't even get to the top screws. Trust me.

That's about it. Except the one obvious make sure you remove both sides of the joystick pad protective film. Seen slot of YouTube vids that didn't and it looks cloudy. It has two films to peel.

If I think of more I'll let you know. Good luck.

statik · 10-06-2019, 02:29 PM

Oh actually one more.

When you get to step about screwing in plastic brackets on back of screen piece. They have a little space in bracket that can slide a little. Screw your screws as close to edge it will slide. This is a factor you'll understand soon in the build.

I should of wrote these instructions but hey at least it's not Ikea.

*Redrumh2o* · 10-06-2019, 04:18 PM

Well I got one!!!! Barerly got it into my car. I'm sure people had a good time watching me fumble around for a while. They gave me a dolly, I think it would have flipped a cart over.

I won't be able to set it up until Tuesday, but I'm glad I was able to get it in person, I can see these getting messed up in shipping.

*Redrumh2o* · 10-06-2019, 06:28 PM

Well oh crap......the one I cancelled online today just shipped

If interested in a light-up marquee w/ Konami logo

statik · 10-07-2019, 07:09 AM

Yeah I purchased my marquee from there too after checking out some YouTube videos discussing who makes the best.

I have two more tips upon finishing this build yesterday.

When you get to the step about screwing the last two brackets into the side inside panel the directions show the machine standing up to do this. Don't. It's a pain in the ass to do it that way. Lay it flat on it's side instead so you can have the straight down angle. So much easier. Honestly those brackets are the hardest step in my opinion, they should of been made longer because the back side of the screen really gets in the way.

Final piece of advice. When you're doing the riser instructions, the last step says to screw your riser into the machine sides to secure it. Don't. There's no made pre-made holes where it lines up on the machine. They're basically asking you to puncture the side art panels with 2 holes each. This is stupid. Plus not screwing it in makes it easier to transport or make it more play friendly if you have kids. Up to you.

Anyway hope you find this helpful. Good luck and enjoy!

*Redrumh2o* · 10-07-2019, 07:56 AM

Thanks!!

I put the system together last night, took about an hour, and will do the riser tonight. Not bad at all. This thing is absolutly beautiful....I love it.....a grail of mine up there with first Sideshow statues and my original Raph page. For anyone on the fence.....it just looks stunning!!

I just placed an order for one of these light-up marquees. For those who already have the machine built, can this marquee be swapped out easily on a completed machine or should I hold off on assembling everything until the new marquee has arrived?

DonnieLaForge · 10-10-2019, 12:13 PM

Mine is 2.5 hours away from me (or closer by now) and should be ready for pickup tomorrow for a RADICAL WEEKEND
