Which new verison figure is rare?

Some of these certain figure are hard to find right now.
Like Usagi Yojimbo, Foot Fire Mystic, and Nanotech monster
Some of these should be rare or something because I can find them.
also, Turtle Titan is hard to find.

Which is rare?
So far, in http://www.ToyWiz.com/ says that the Utorm figure
is very rare.

I wouldn't say nano is rare but I couldn't comment on usagi or The foot fire mystic as they are yet to be released/found in my country yet.

Let me start with a word of advice, ignore or better yet avoid ToyWiz. They are some of the worst 'ligitimate' scalpers on the net. By that I mean that they use any excuse possible to jack up the price of toys.

However, there are a few figures which are harder to track down. The three you mentioned for instance were all shipped in smaller quantities (one per case) and haven't shipped for some time. But I doubt there is a single figure from the line so far that goes for more than $20 on a regular basis.

The store across the street from me FINALLY got another stock of TMNT. I didn't expect them to due to Star Wars toys dominating the shelves. Just wanted to let you know if you are looking for:

Razor Fist
Multi Arm Shredder
Turtle Titan
Toddler Turtles
Space turtles
Silver Sentry

and I can occasionally get my hands on a Nanotech Monster

and the characters released in that line. I can pick them up and sell them at the exact price I paid, or trade for figures that I haven't been able to get in Canada yet. We are at least one shipment behind the Americans. They are $7.97 Cdn +15% tax in Ontario. PM me...

If your desperate this nanotech monster may interest you.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...975773462&rd=1

I would still imagine you could easily pick him up in a store for less or possibly a member here can help you out.

Utroms are peg warmers over here, I don't think kids really want them...

If anyone's looking for an Utrom I could trade them, figure for figure. PM me and let me know

I am definately looking for a Utrom... That is the figure I have wanted most... Don't really know why. In Canada we are still a few releases behind... It is tragic.

Nanotech Monsters are still pretty easy to find in Canada. I have three of them to my name at the moment. I cannot say for SURE that I can find one because due to Star Wars, most TMNT toys have been boxed up and put away.

I have had a hard time finding a Usagi in stores or on Ebay.

I don't know which ones are rare... I had the hardest time finding a Giant Mouser but finally stumbled upon about a dozen of them. Also found a ton of Foot Fire Mystics.

From my experience, I would say the Fire Foot Mystic is the most rare. I never saw one at a store. The Claw Shredder would be a close second(only seen it once).

The Utrom is a pretty rare figure. Some of the variants like the Extreme Sports ones are hard to find. I wrote a business letter for my school's slient auction to Playmates. I have most of the figures that I saw at the auction. I saw one Utrom and Playmates sent like twenty figures to the silent auction. I might bid on a figure. I'll think about it. They have some of the rare figures in the silent auction.

Unhappy

Right now down here, there hardly any TMNT ever since the
Star Wars Episode III came in stock. But luckly I was able to find
a Fire Foot Mystic at a K-mart. But for $11 dollars.
Then I found a Usagi, but didn't had the money for it
and lost my chance to find another one.
Mostly I found Giant Mousers, Silver Senety, Guardian Ninjas, Baxter, Casey
and TMNT ripped up, battle gear, knights, and battle nexus.

I havn't been able to find Any Caseys... I havn't REALLY been looking, but once the 2nd series of regular figures was released here I decided to see what was on offer... found everything BUT a Casey... April seems to be one per case aswell.

Yea, id definately say that Fire Mystic and a distant second would go to Usagi for hardest to find...ive seen Nano, the extreme sports, and all the rest pretty much on various occasions...i actually dont seen many foot gunners either...Utroms are hard now, though i was fortunate enough to pick up about 7 or so when they 1st hit shelves...i havent seen one of those squishy little guys in months!...

Question

Are the Deep Divin' Turtles hard to find in the States? I never see all four on sale on eBay anymore (only Mikey is there right now).

From my experience so far, I would have to say 1) Fire Mystic (only seen him twice)

2) Usagi (only saw him 2 or 3 times

3) Nano

4) Foot tech Ninjas

5) Shredder ( Regular) JK
