Manufacturers don't choose when to distribute and when to restock, guys. <.<

Yeah I suppose so

Guys. I'm just going to say something you all should know.

Toys are never perfect. They can be enjoyable, but they won't be perfect. The paint job will never be the same as the prototype pictures.

Sometimes, they won't be sculpted the same. Take this from a guy who tried to copy off the pictures from the cardboard with his action figures. I've broken a few because of that. One time, as a kid, I remember trying to copy this figure's pose from the picture, and it turned out they reversed the photo. So by that point, I just said, "Forget this."

So, no matter what the toys look like, if there are ones that are really worth the money, then they're worth having. If not, forget it. It's poor production for the ooze turtles, mediocre production for the flinger turtles, and good production for Anchovy Alley, the Mutagen, and probably for the next characters like Baxter and Leatherhead and the classic Bebop and Rocksteady. We all see that coming.

Or you could price match Target.com. It's only $20 on there.

I worked our truck today and toys r us.....figured you would like to see this....this is only 4ft of our 8ft section. I took this project upon myself. It had been empty for a month, and power rangers had started taking over...

Nice!

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see something like this in my area. My son has been bugging me for months for the Patrol Buggies!

mousesi2k · 01-17-2013, 03:15 PM

Sheesh! Thats alot of TMNT merch! And like you said, Power Rangers have taken over at my local TRU x_x

There was the 3 Playsets, a couple Krangs and Aprils, and a cd player. That made up the TMNT area...

Also, I've read that the "Mutagen Ooze Turtles" are being shipped out with repacks of the previous figures. Is Splinter in these new cases of figures?

If that store will do it. I tried to get them to at mine & they wouldn't do it. Basically said they will only price match if you bring in a paper ad from another store. I asked them to look it up on their computer so they know it isn't fraudulent & they refused.

What store was this?

How small is too small? I had the exact same idea. I'm still using an original Motorola Razr which is about 2"x3" folded, I guess.

At my TRU they said they would. I tried using the Lego store for a price match on Star Wars Legos for a friend but they said it had to be Walmart or Target.

KenStole · 01-18-2013, 12:36 AM

Wow! Thank God I purchased 3 of the missing TMNT battle shell turtles because it is already SOLD OUT at Target online. Especially Ralph's and Mikes Patrol Buggies, it's sold out too! Smh, I was going to get the buggies but went with the battle shell turtles which was hard to get and they're selling on eBay for $200+ for all 4 which is ridiculous. Most likely my local Target have the buggies in stock. Will check it out later today.

So what you do is print out the target website page and bring it to toysrus to get the price match?
