swat turtles

Great oogly moogly!

I was just at a Toys R Us in Downers Grove and they had in stock, a box set of "Swat Turtles."

I've never heard of these, but included in the set were Donatello and Leonardo in SWAT gear (basically just repaints of the Fightin Gear Turtles, 6 mousers, and the SWAT versions of the Battle Shell and Pogo Copter.

It looked really cool! It was going for $50 and I didn't want to spend that much money. Have any of you guys ever heard of it?

*cqb101* · 08-08-2004, 03:42 PM

Whaaaat? This is news to me....We need some pics!

*KROW* · 08-08-2004, 03:45 PM

....the Hell?

OA · 08-08-2004, 04:29 PM

definately need some pics here....man, first the T-rex surprise, now this...and just when we thought we knew what was comin...

avervisal · 08-08-2004, 05:00 PM

Ok I don't know when I'm gonna go to this TRU next....just cuz it's not the one I usually go to and they were fresh out of any normal figures, all they had were a bunch of vehicles and the mutations and the ninja actions, but once I get the chance I'll try and go to the store and take pictures?? Lol that isn't legal is it...

Oh yeah, and any help from any TRU workers on the forum here, when do new shipments usually arrive? I've been trying to figure that out for the longest time now.

I remember seeing pics about a mouser 6 pack, so maybe this was what it was leading up to...I definitely want to buy this set now though. The mousers are different than the ones that came with April, these ones have a dark shade of midnight blue to them and they look very sleek. It goes along with the whole SWAT theme.

I wonder if it is official

avervisal · 08-08-2004, 07:26 PM

It wasn't a bootleg or anything, if that's what you mean.

It followed the standard packaging that all TMNT products by playmates come in.

Darnit! I knew I should've brought a camera with me today!

*KROW* · 08-08-2004, 07:41 PM

Somebody E-mail Dan Berger about this.

*BigApple3AM* · 08-08-2004, 08:17 PM

What toys r us? If it's close to me I'll go check it out. I saw the leo t-rex today but I passed. I think I'm gonna give up repaints/retools and lame vehicles.

avervisal · 08-08-2004, 08:28 PM

Ecto, it's the Toys R Us on 75th street right by the Linens N Things, Best Buy, and Old Navy. They had 3 boxes left when I went there.

Do you seriously think TRU would carry bootlegs?

Leonardo_the_sword_master · 08-08-2004, 09:37 PM

well u would think the ywould ave them at the ninja turtle wbsite......... even though i haven't check.... let me go check.

avervisal · 08-08-2004, 09:45 PM

hahaha that's funny...

acutally the ninja turtle website isn't at the utmost up to date...they don't have some figures from the 5" line listed yet

Leonardo_the_sword_master · 08-08-2004, 09:55 PM

huh wat u mean????

avervisal · 08-08-2004, 10:00 PM

the ninja turtles website has a list of the items in their toy catalogue, but it doesn't have EVERYTHING that's out right now, like claw shredder or dr. malignus

you could argue that those figs aren't out yet, then why are the deep divin out? i think i've only seen one person on the boards so far who have claimed that they've seen the deep diving, otherwise no word has been heard

*KROW* · 08-08-2004, 10:04 PM

He means that the official site doesn't have all the needed information on the toys. *sigh* What's up with you, man?

SWAT turtles?

Well if it comes with more Mousers, then that's cool for me- the more mousers the better I say.

6 of them. I think I also heard rumors of there being sold an individual pack of 6 mousers in the future, so if you don't want to blow the money on the set then wait until those come out.
