Got some for Halloween in little boxes, so these should be in the stores soon if not already.

Yeah... Just never saw them before when I ran into them at Inertia (tiny independent candy shop) so I didn't know how common they were. I am hoping to get more...

They are made in the States so I assume they would be on the market there. I am going to grab some more sets (a whole case if I can for the packaging).

Yeah Man, I Stuffed My Self Crazy In The Winter Of 2004. They Come With Tattoos As Well. They Were Selling Them For A Whole Season Last Year At $.75 A Box. This Is In My Neighborhood In The Bronx (nyc). I Got So Sick And Tired Of The Sticks Though, They Are Not The Highest Quality Of Candy. I Would Call Them "acid Sticks" Because Not To Long After I Would Eat A Box, My Stomach Would Burn (not All The Time). I Have All The Boxes And Tattoos I Collected Stashed Away. Ill Try To Get Pictures Of The Tattoos, But They Are Covered In A White Paper For Peeling While Tattooing. It Makes It Hard To See The Image.

Yeah... I loved the candy as a kid (the Popeye sticks that they sell at 7-11) but would never eat them now...

I bought a set to keep on display with the rest of the collection and another set to open and check out the tattoos.

The tattoos are the usual thing we see when they try to quickly put out more TMNT merchandise. The graphics are basically the ones from the playing cards. I even got a tattoo with Leonardo's name on it. Nothing extremely special, just recycled art.

But I hadn't run into them on Ebay so was just wondering... Sounds like they were desperate to clear them in NY.
