I've been having fun here with all the great news and overall good vibes! (I don't visit the 'Drome as often as I should-obviously! 10 year member with such a sad little post-count.)

As much as I love the .org, I am feeling the same way. I just want to enjoy my toys and enjoy discussing them.

It is good to see some people I know here as I don't feel like too much of an outcast.

When I put down my monthly release list I basically just took a shot in the dark with the first release being August as it just seemed like the right time to release them but the new information confirmed that date. It does seem like the monthly release is not the way these things will be sold which is almost disappointing because I really like a new figure being released every month, MOTUC has spoilt me in this regard.

The $15 price tag will probably equate to $30 here if they make it to retail. Hasbro's movie figures, which are 4 inch, are being sold for $15-$20 here and the stores are only buying the first wave as they never move at that price.
BBTS will be my chosen store to purchase these unless Playmates pull a Bandai and don't allow them to be sold to international collectors.

It is reassuring that the Sewer Cover Stands are definitely coming with the figures but I just want to either see or read that there will be more than just the four main turtles coming in the TMNTC line. I understand they are just testing the waters but I want more
