can't help but think it would have made a nice foot vehicle especially sincle the missle on the foot cruiser looked like the missles on the techno rovers.

There were images of one that was originally intended as part of the Technodrome playset. It was nixed to reduce cost presumably.

Is it the 2008 version in the TMNT packaging or the 2009 release in the classic collection packaging? Both seem to be rare, but the TMNT packaging seems to be less common. I've gotten them for as little as $40. But they are usually in the $80 to $90 range.

Do you recall which ones were released? I have Leo and Donatello in the 008 packaging and Leonardo in the 2009 release. I have never seen Raph or Michelangelo in either version.

It's the one with the classic collection packaging. Truthfully that box is the only reason I even bought the thing.

[Spidergreg]

Why were there 2 packagings? Is the Classic Collection one a re-release?

[bomber5]

Just wanted to know is there a Shogun Shoate with 2 variation accessory colors?

Yes.. Shoate had 2 different colors for accessories. I believe they were blue and purple

They were originally produced at the tail end of the 2007 TMNT movie line and included a Sub Sewer figure as the driver. But those were not carried in many stores. I had found one by crossing State lines. But none of the stores near me carried them. When Toys R Us ordered the classic collections as an exclusive, they also got more of the Sludge Runners, this time in the classic collection packaging.

In both cases, the back of the packages show 4 Sludge Runners, one for each Turtle. But I have only found Leonardo and Donatello in the 2008 packaging and only Leonardo in the Classic Collection packaging. And that is despite having 3 2003 Sludge Runner Leos, 2 2008 Sludge Runner Don's and 3 2009 Sludge Runner Leos as well as having seen a handful of others on eBay over the years.

Do you have pictures of the 2008 ones we can see?

I have photos of them in the package along with photos of just about every item release from 2006 through 2009 that I'm working on getting posted. With luck they will be up within the week.

What's the reason behind it and which one is rarer??? I didn't notice until yesterday :/ is shogun triceriton the same??

[LincolnHawk]

so I notice there is hardly any sealed cans of purple retromutagen on ebay. Is this stuff starting to become rarer and rarer? I have one can of purple and 2 cans of the green ones that I bought off ebay about 10 years ago for around 40 bucks total.

edit: the only purple one that I've see on ebay has been listed there for the past 2 months...it's at 425.00 best offer, while I don't think the person will get that much for it, it still makes me wonder how much the purple one really is worth.

I'm still working my way through all the files, but I got impatient and jumped the gun to post the Sludge Runners early. (or at least the 2008 versions)

TMNT Sludge Runners




I finished uploading packaged images for my stuff. After 3 months, 173 cases and 1850 items, I finally have photos of all the packaged item uploaded and the listing for the 2003 through 2009 items updated. So here are the other Sludge Runners I have.

[rufus]

I was looking to pick up a 2003 series Master Splinter and I see that he comes with a ooze canister accesory. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the ooze canister is the same as the ones that came with the TMNT:Movie star turtles back in the day or if it is a new mold/bigger size. Thanks if anyone knows.

Hello 'dromers; the fine print on the

'BONUS DVD!
Original TMNT Epsiode # x Included!' label is

"Collect all five original episodes in various 25th Anniversary packs!"

was this offer impossible? Episodes #1, 2, 3 & 4 could indeed be collected, but was #5 'Shredder & Splintered' never actually released, despite being a perfect fit for either Shredder or Splinter?
Thanks in advance for those who can confirm this, and bonus pizza points if anyone can explain why only 80% of the miniseries was released in this way

Episode 5 "Shredder and Splintered" was originally planned to be released with the 25th Anniversary Shredder action figure, which did not come out until wave 3 of the 25th Anniv. figures (along with Slash and the Foot Soldier). When wave 3 was finally released, Playmates decided to drop the bonus DVD that went with Shredder at the last minute, hence never getting Episode 5 as a bonus DVD. It was a total bummer, even though that Shredder figure did come with a mini Krang, and ended up being hard to find (no TRU's in my state ever got wave 3).

I don't know if one is more rare than the other, but I'm also certain that Shogun Triceraton had 2 colors as well.... I believe blue and purple as well.

Does anybody know where this weapon belongs to?:



Thanks in advance!

[Redemption]

Did the nickelodeon ooze variant figures that came with ooze get released in the US? I never saw them in my area if they did. Thanks.

Thanks in advance!

You'll have better luck posting that question here: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=36133
Since that's where the people well versed in TMNT figs and their accessories would look...
