TMNT Classics Collection Wave 3 - Page 49

Ugagerman · 08-01-2014, 02:14 AM

You guys weren't kidding with the bad packaging from Toys R Us. I got my package today. The box wasn't big enough for the 4 turtles, but believe me they made sure they all fit in there. They forced and squashed them in this flimsy box. I literally had 120 degree bends on 2 of my blister cards. One was so warped the bubble detached from the card from the bottom. I don't even want to bother with customer service over the phone since I heard the replacements are shipped the same. I'm just going to return them at the store and hope I find the movie turtles in stock there. What a major bummer, but at least I know never to order anything online from them. People stay away from Toys R Us online!!!

Hey guys, been lurking here for a while but never posted. I got on TRU today to orders these but looks like all 4 are sold out. Good news for the line, bad news for me. Hopefully they come back in stock soon!

BBTS is preselling sets of them too. It looks like for $72.98. They should get their orders in by September.

I saw these in-store yesterday for the first time. They had 3 of each character on the rack and every single one was smashed up in some way!! I open pretty much all of my turtles toys, but so far I've kept all of my classics collection figures carded and would like to get a set of these mint on card. I may open them one day, but for now I'd prefer to keep them carded and will not be buying from TRU online or in store.

I just ordered a set from BBTS.

I hear ya! That's why I hope they get this cleared up when Shredder and Krang come out. I need them to be perfect. Don't plan on every opening them. I have Bebop and Rocksteady hanging over my bed.

Sorry to hear about the disastrous packing from TRU online... they're notorious when it comes to that sort of thing. My original set of wave 1 classics became my 'opened' set for that very reason.

I recommend BBTS as well.

Does BBTS ever have discount promo codes or anything like that?

You can't go wrong with them. They pack to perfection. I have never had a damaged item from them. They are the gold standard in shipping to me.

Agreed! I have ordered and pre-ordered from them countless times!!

Agreed. The only one that looks close to its theatrical version is Michelangelo.

Leonardo looks accurate too. It's the same face he had when Shredder held him at blade point.

drewizzle88 · 08-03-2014, 11:45 AM

Ive purchased Mikey and Leo so far and with the joint issues they just aren't worth $20. I wouldn't give $5 for them the way they arrive from TRU. Bums me out because I probably hadn't ever been as excited for a set of turtles coming out as these. Just as they fixed the derpy eyes on the first set of classics I hope they fix the joints on these in the very near future. One other complaint is my Mikey didn't even come with the sewer lid stand.

Panther10 · 08-03-2014, 12:04 PM

I want to make this clear though: Even though the facial expressions are a little off the beaten path with these figures its still the best way to capture their individual personalities from all three films. If they all had poker faces we would only be hearing arguments that there is no distinction between any members of the group. Besides, one characteristic in every movie I think we can all agree on is that the turtles were very expressive as far as their faces were concerned. Even if I didn't remember anything else about the films I would still remember their flapping gums and oversized teeth.

Wow. That sucks, my orders never were like that.

That honor goes to Sword Slicin' Leonardo from 1990. The 1992 Movie Star Leonardo resembles the one on the poster to Secret of the Ooze.

goodfellaray · 08-03-2014, 04:32 PM

Got 'em displayed. Wish the damn head sculpts were better, but alas... I'm a sucker for TMNT figures. I need to get some proper pedestals also...

*mikey0* · 08-03-2014, 06:24 PM

Was it that hard for them to cut holes in their bandanas to feature the space around the turtles' inner canthus and outer canthus?!

mikemgmve · 08-03-2014, 06:28 PM

I just cannot fathom how these things cost $20. I got a set from SDCC, and there are only 2 paint applications, 1 - the wash on the stand/name, and 2 - the horrendous eyes. Everything is molded in it's color. I just don't get it. Frustrating. I'll probably just sell all 4 on ebay.
