[Want to Buy] Movie Star Turtles

Digital Ghost · 05-14-2010, 06:02 PM

Well, I thought about the pros and cons of creating a thread for these, as I realize everyone here seems to have different opinion of what they're actually worth. But, creating a thread for them is my only other option, as I've grown tired of searching eBay... all I seem to find are incomplete, partially damaged figures and I even missed out on a few recent opportunities that were here on the drome of all places. A set of 4 MOC sold for $110.00... now, whether that's a deal is always up for debate. TMNTim sold the complete OOP line for $75.00, with free shipping... and still, some didn't think that was a deal. There were rumors that Playmates would be re-releasing these in 2010... but I dunno' what to make of that.

So, if you have a set of all four Movie Star Turtles... drop me a line.
I'll occasionally bump this thread, until I find 'em, so cross your fingers for me!

I have a MOC Leonardo that I sold on eBay but the winner turned out to be a deadbeat. I can sell it for $35 + shipping.

Which I would agree isn't bad at all. Sure, if you wait long enough you could probably find them one by one and pay less than $100 shipped, but it would probably take you 5-10 years...

Getting mine loose/(almost)complete was hard enough lol. I wish you luck though dude!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 05-15-2010, 01:50 AM

I have three that are loose/near complete...still need six of those little silver colored stars...

Loco · 05-15-2010, 04:43 AM

Yeah good Luck Purple ! I found mine incompletes with the bandanas and I'm happy with them, but MOC, that's some rare deal, your best chance stay ebay and the drome , take a look around.

markberry · 05-15-2010, 05:13 AM

these are hard to get cheap
i have loose incomplete leo and Raph has all weapons except the shield and 2 silver stars on ebay right now hit me up and ill send u the link but it ends tonight

i had to buy a lot of 3 to get don since mine was destroyed
i agree with Oroku if you want to get them super cheap it might take a while haha
i got Raph MOC on ebay for $15 somehow who knows when ill find the others MOC

-mark-

BoggleKng · 05-17-2010, 10:12 AM

I got mine off the drome, loose with no weapons.. Still need Don, after an Ebay mix-up, and still hunting for the colored accessories..

Digital Ghost · 05-18-2010, 05:18 PM

Thanks for the advice, offers, replies and well wishes!

Like you all have suggested, I'm gonna' keep searching eBay in hopes of finding 'em all. I guess my motivation was simply starting to falter and I needed to be reminded of how rare they are. Besides, I've had it pretty easy on the Drome for the past little while, with all the deals and whatnot. I guess I just hoped these figures would come as easy.

I hope some of you will understand my desire to purchase them all at once, as opposed to seeking out each figure individually. So please, don't be offended if I don't contact you in regards to one.

Edit: I notice that a lot of you seem to have this idea that I expect to get them cheap... but that isn't the case whatsoever. It's the finding them that became difficult. I never said I wanted them for a song, so please don't assume such. For example, Roseangelo's MOC Leonardo, for $35 is more than reasonable to me... and I'll even take him up on it in a short while if things don't pan out.

How much a u willin to pay for a complete set of 4 movie star turtles w all the weapons SUPER MINT fresh outta package condition w no chips? And complete mint movie foot/splinter?

agliarept · 05-19-2010, 10:29 AM

im always searching for the giant movie star turtles myself. But the fact that they had no weapons or missing parts never bothered me, in the end i striped them down with some custom paint and made the weapons myself with cloth bandannas. But as far as worth, i would pay a good penny for them to me movie star line is one of the best. but thats just me. wakka wakka

I dunno'... I suppose it depends on what someone sells them for and states their price openly. I'm not really a 'make me an offer' kind of guy, unless it's my last resort. For example, a guy on tfieds.com is offering all 4 OOP (missing some weapons and accessories) for $100 OBO and when I gave him a decent offer of $90, he refused.

Mind you, I'm kinda' glad about that now, as I don't wanna' have to waste my time tracking the stuff down.

I guess that's why I like the Drome so much... most people are willing to state what they want for an item, rather than haggle.

What do YOU guys think of the MOC figures that are currently on eBay... there's a lot of 6 currently at $200 and the individual figures for 44.99. Looking for some opinions... should I wait for a cheaper lot or jump at these?

just wait till the end of year to see if there's reissue if im u. However the chance of re-issue is like lower than 1%, consider the 25th line didnt do that well either... ...

I will say 100$ for 4 of them loose MINT complete is a great deal, and for the MOC ones, i will say 160$.

Digital Ghost · 05-22-2010, 09:51 AM

Well, I managed to find a great looking MOC set of 4 for just about that price with free shipping! Yeah, I hate to admit it but I've been doubtful about the possibility of a re-release as well. Hence, why I so desperately wanted a set of the originals. I guess this thread can be closed now that I'm done looking.
