2013 TMNT Figures - Page 114

*DonatelloFan* · 08-13-2013, 09:51 AM

I foolishly went to TrU last week hoping to find the '88 Classic 4" figures, but all they had were the newer basic figures. I think I'm going to go again today and see if I can find them.

Wal-Mart also is supposed to have them, too, right?

I never read the reviews before bought them. I thought they were going to be good figures.

Not foolish at all. I'm not the only one who has spotted the Retro Classic figures at Toys R Us recently

No, Wal-Mart does not carry them... at this time. They are TRU exclusive until we hear otherwise

Good time to check TRU is Thursday mornings in my experience

In Minnesota (twin cities area) the Toys R Us truck deliveries aren't until late Thursday night/early Friday morning. So shelves don't get restocked usually until Friday afternoon or sometimes as late as Saturday morning.

Best I've been able to tell is many TRU get shipments daily but this can vary depending on area and time of year. In the summer it may be twice a week.

I tend to have the best luck Thursday mornings that's all i can say! :p

I don't often check on Fri or Sat, who knows I may even have *better* luck on those days if I had the time :/

The TRU in my area gets shipments every Wednesday and Saturday, so that's when I usually go to check their TMNT stock. One employee told me that they had once received the Retro Classic Turtles, but they sold out and I have not seen them since. I'm gonna check tomorrow and see what I can find.

Still having no luck finding Rat King in the Detroit Area. Of all the stores I hit up this weekend the Walmarts were the most surprising. They were totally HIT UP, one only had 1 figure the other had 3. A mild spattering of vehicles and communicators...

Before you start... I enjoy the thrill of the hunt... its more exciting for me to find it on the shelf than ordering online.

Also does anyone else organize the racks? I find myself doing it a lot... hanging them by character and version whenever i come across a destroyed toy aisle. I like to make sure the section looks as awesome as it can. Am I alone in this?

That you are not. I try to do this whenever I can...if the aisle is pretty empty I'll do it, but if there's a lot of people there looking at the turtle section I won't..but the aisle is only usually full in TRU, I almost always get to organize the shelves at Walmart and Kmart. I put rarer characters like April, Kraang, Leatherhead, Snakeweed etc. in the front so kids can get to them easily

*Cowabunga Carl* · 08-13-2013, 04:39 PM

So I got all the 4 inch classics and I'm really happy with them. Now if I could only find Ratking, Cockroach, and stealth Mikey I'd have all the basic figures.

*Shark_Blade* · 08-13-2013, 05:19 PM

I was looking at my local toys r us for the turtle lair. No luck, I only saw it in the big city. Guess I'll have to go there next week.

As I was browsing the turtle aisle, I saw a family browsing nearby. A little boy in red shirt and shorts literally paused and gasped when he saw the turtle figures. He begged his father to buy him "the red one" as he was searching for said figure, and kept asking what are their names. The man was half bald middle aged looking, and was pushing a baby stroller and I was quite surprised he named all of the figures correctly: Donatello, Michelangelo, April, etc. without much of a glance at them. When the boy kept pestering him to buy, he said no because they already planned to pick him a dinosaur as that's why they were there. I was thinking of giving the boy some money but then it'll be weird to accept something from a stranger..

Then he saw the turtle weapons. All 4 of them were there. He looked at them one at a time each and finally picked up Raph's sais and showed them to his father. The man's eyes bulged and asked "are you going to beat people up with these?" LOL. They then proceeded to the checkout with the weapons.

How sweet.

Here you go, the first close up demo of the throw n battle turtles.

pixel dan showed it off for toy fair but it wasn't as involved a demo.

Danetello · 08-13-2013, 06:02 PM

I saw people talking all about the retro stuff and wondered what everyone was talking about. I haven't seen any of them around here at all.
I went to the TRU website, and they do indeed have the 4 retro TMNT, Shredder and Splinter... but they are all pre-order.
BUT! They also have 2 large robotic things (wrekkers?), AND.... the original Turtle Van!!!
Needless to say, the credit card came out, and mine is now pre-ordered LOL!!

$59.99, plus tax, due to be shipped week of 3rd September!! There's a limit of one per customer, and interestingly the website claims it's a TRU exclusive!! Which I am SURE will make it even harder to find than the figures are currently! Definitely worth the pre-order!!
Can't wait!!!

Shipped and sold by Amazon.

*Zulithe* · 08-13-2013, 09:32 PM

Ugh those deluxe turtles looking as bad as ever

And yes amazon has been stocking wave 5, $11.99 each... not the cheapest but if you're a prime member you can order as little as 1 figure and get free 2 day shipping, so it's terrible. Does suck though, when wave 3 and 4 went online they were about 10.99 so they've already increased the new figures by an entire dollar.

And when wave 1 went on amazon they were 9.99... so yeah the price is inflating pretty fast and it's not cool

(note though that they do often go on sale for less. gotta have good timing)
