7 inch plushies and mini's???

LionO · 03-27-2005, 01:26 PM

Anyone know where I can find the 7 inch Turtle plushies and the mini secondary characters like Shredder, splinter, April and the Foot Soldier not to mention the rest of the mini's? I have Leo and Ralph from the Easter Egg promotion but nothing else. That as well as the 7 inch plushies that are on Ebay of the four turtles. What stores carry these?

Target
TRS
BJ's
Wholesale National Luiquidators
K-Mart

None of these carry them

The only places ive seen the minis are a few dollar stores, KB outlet (not the regular store), and CVS (the pharmacy that took over Eckerds...)...the plushies i havnet seen yet, though honestly i havent been looking for them...

For the Minis Family Dollar or Dollar General have them for a $1 each. I picked up April and a Foot Soldier but they were pretty picked clean so you gotta hurry and get them before someone else does. They seem to restock them though because one day they only had Aprils and the next they had the original 4 turtles the battle armor turtles april and a foot soldier.

In Canada, all the main toy stores carry them. I got my 7-inch set at Walmart actually although they were a bit expensive. Walmart also has the mini ones but I have never seen any other than the turtles. But this is also Canada!

If you are still having troubles finding them, I see them everywhere. If you cannot find them, let me know. I am an ebay user and a seller and we could always set up an auction with a buy it now. Shipping might be steep though coming from Canada. I don't know, they don't weigh a lot!

The 7-inch toys are the only toys (other than the Ooze canister with the baby turtle in it) that doesn't seem to move off the shelves. I would love to give you names of stores you can find them, but many won't apply over the border.

Good luck in your search and I will help if need be!

How much are the minis and the ooze canisters?

aramconbrat · 04-07-2005, 01:28 PM

I think the Mini's are about $10 CDN ($8.18 US) and the ooze canisters have been on the shelves for months but no one is clearing them out (which is what I've been waiting for. I am pretty sure they are running for about $7.97 CDN ($6.54 US) each. But this is also before 15% tax too..

I have been waiting for the ooze canisters and mini's to go on clearance because they don't seem to be moving very fast but yet, they haven't moved. Guess the turnover on the action figures is good enough they are trying to wait it out!

If I find anything that is no longer available to the states, I can sell it on Ebay for the price I paid. I like everyone else enjoys a little profit in Ebay sales but when it comes to helping out fellow TMNT collectors, I try to sell for face value of what I paid!

aramconbrat · 04-07-2005, 01:29 PM

Sorry, for my previous post I had the mini's at $10 when that is actually the cost of the 7-inch plushies!

I don't know the cost of mini's in Canada but I can find out

Triceraton · 04-07-2005, 01:38 PM

If you have any Family Dollar stores in your area, look there for the minis. The latest cases have the entire series included(Raph, Leo, Don, Mike, Shredder, April, Foot Soldier, Splinter, Fightin Gear Raph, Fightin Gear Don, Fightin Gear Leo, Fightin Gear Mike), and they seem to restock them every month or two. Plus they're really cheap, only $1 each.

FYI my Raph 7" came from up there, it was total of about $5 off Ebay
not that much $$$$$$ coming out of Canada!

aramconbrat · 04-07-2005, 06:23 PM

I'm just saying how it is... I was just at Zellers and checked them out... Ooze was

$7.97 Cdn - Ooze

7-inch plushies - $9.97

That is also what they charge at Canadian Walmarts!

Yeah, you might be able to find them cheaper but that is EXACTLY how much they cost up here. And I would include a reciept FROM THE STORE to prove it! I don't misquote this stuff... Figures cost about $8 Cdn, but the plushies cost more, and the ooze about the same!

I am not saying you didn't see them for $5 on Ebay. I am just saying what they cost IN STORES up in the great Canadian north!

Well Buslady... Your Raph might have been $5, but I just bought two more plushies for other people. I do not like you implying I am lying about the cost of the plushies so here is the hard proof... A receipt from the store. I also got the box they came in for the person!

I do not want to be rude. I really don't. It has just been bugging me that you would accuse me of lying about the price. If you were from Canada, maybe then you would know what they charge up here.

$9.97 Cdn is what they cost!

LionO · 04-20-2005, 06:58 PM

Man, these are quite pricey. Anyon know if these will ever make it to the states or what the hold up is. If anything I'll drop you a line aramconbrat, thanks for the response though, appreciate it.

aramconbrat · 04-20-2005, 07:13 PM

No problem... They have Playmates listed on the box but no where on the toys is there Playmates listed. Only Spin Masters (Canadian toy distributor).

I know they are a bit pricey especially with our incredibly crazy 15% tax --> they come to about $11.50 Cdn each which is like $40 US for a full set.

They have been on the shelves for about two years now up here and noticed them disappearing from the mall across the street. They however haven't been moving... Maybe it is from the lack of new figures hitting the shelves!

Anyways, I know it is a pricey buy which is exactly why I am not buying them up and selling them on Ebay. Few people are willing to pay more for them than they would for a cool TMNT figure.

If they go on sale, I will definately be picking up a few sets, but as I said, they haven't gone on sale as of yet and they have been on the shelves for two years. The only good thing is they are more than willing to let me have the boxes!

So yeah, that post was partially for you and partially to prove that I was being completely honest!

I got my little 7-in Leonardo plush from the UK off eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=5958258484 about a month and a half ago. I paid nearly $9 U.S. currency for it, which included shipping. I wish they had these here though. They are so cute.

So it is a similar cost essentially if you include shipping. That is actually quite a deal. I hope they go down to about $5-$6 here so I can stock up and share them with all the people who want them but think the price is ridiculous!

I do agree that $9.97 Cdn is a bit steep. I will never deny that. I am a hardcore collector and that is the only reason I shelled out. I only bought my favorite at the beginning and was hoping to get the other three on sale. Recently I have been seeing fewer and fewer of them in stores and had to buy the other three to be safe. Luckily, with fewer being in stores, they are very good about letting me take the boxes. The boxes are just a good thing to display figures or other pieces in.

They are cute and I love my collection... Just wish they weren't so darn expensive...

Glad to hear that you found a version of him. I checked out the auction and he looks like he has more white tags than the Canadian version. Ours just has a big tag that says "Distributed by Spin Masters Toys" and on the back has all that "Do not remove unless you are consumer" and then the TMNT coloured tag!

And another difference I noticed is the UK plushies have the tag attached to the head, while the Canadian plushies have the tag attached to the belt. I am sure the head is a more secure place for it but I have found the ones I have very easy to display.

Good luck with all your searches for these guys and know that I am willing to help! And you have seen the hard proof of how much they cost (without tax) so please be confident that I am not trying to rip my fellow TMNT collectors off. That really got under my skin and I had to prove my point!
