Disappointed that they didn't go the extra mile and have painted weapons.

I contacted the seller again and asked a few other questions. Only response I received was that the reserve was set so high because he is afraid of getting in trouble for breaking street date. He said he is just gauging interest right now. Asked what he would sell them for to ship today. I am sure the price will be 300 or greater. I will let you guys know. I already have my case on preorder so I won't be buying these just to get them a few weeks early.

That's just insane! These figures will all be common figures in stores. Most likely April and UC Raph would be shortpacks (assuming there are shortpacks). I would assume that stores will sell these figures for the same price as the Nick figures, which averages around $9 each. So, these 7 figures will most likely be less than $70 to purchase in-store. I just don't know how someone can justify trying to charge someone $600 just to get them a month or two early??

Hey.. could this seller be Jordan from Toy Hunter??

The case has 16 figures. I am assuming 2 each of the four turtles, shredder, foot soldier, and splinter. That makes 14 figures. Then one each of April and Undercover raph. Making 16 total like the case specifies. Just got another email from the seller. $375 to ship today. Out of his mind. I have been told my estimated ship date is June 8th. It hasn't changed since I preordered the case. If it does I will let you guys know. Just remember it is only an estimated date and it can change.

No Mikey.. he's started a bid at $150, but has a reserve of $600 which means anything less than that will not win the auction. Absolutely insane!!

like someone said a long time ago on this forum theses figures are more for "kids". adults will soon get something at least maybe not a toy maybe swimming suit ? idk i think you guys should skip theses movie figures and buy some new marvel selects or heck go wild and buy some star wars toys. :/ i am not trying to insult anyone from this post i am not saying this just to you TT97.

$600 for those things?
With that sum I could buy the four real Neca turtles and have money left for the Revoltechs, and obviously the quality doesn't even compare...

i wouldn't get worked up over an ebay seller's pricing... these will be on shelves in early june, and i honestly don't feel they will be flying off shelves so they should be easy to find for the most part. there may be some difficulty finding april and undercover raph for the first few weeks until restocks, but that's just speculation. It's very possible few will want those either
