Yeah, they ARE selling out pretty well. I hit TRU & KB toys yesterday on my usual bi-weekly toy run. TRU had a section on the end of an isle all set up for TMNT stuff. They had a few of the giant TMNT figures, a decent amount of Shell Sliders (that the name?) & Shell Cycles for $10.99 & only FIVE TMNT figures left hanging on the bare hooks. I was like "Damn...good thing I already own a Raph". They had 3 Raph's & 2 Don's left. TRU charges $6.99, which isn't bad as it's cheaper then their website.

Next stop was KB toys in the mall, whom had a alot more TMNT figures. No vehicles that I could see, but plenty of Leo's,Raph's, Don's & Mike's & even 3 Shredders (one of which I picked up, and a Mike figure too). KB toys charged $5.99 for their figures, which made me very happy as I now know the place I'll buy all my figures from (even though I only have to get Leo & Don to complete my figure collection).

I think less channels have Saturday morning cartoons then say in the 80's or early 90's. I remember CBS, NBC & ABC having cartoons, then CBS stopped doing it in the mid-90's & NBC followed suit a little while after that. Then FOX started airing cartoons in the late 80's, early 90's & a while after that the WB popped up & began showing cartoons. If memory serves, the original TMNT cartoon show was aired on CBS, but might have been in sindication during it's first season.
