Still no sign of wave 3 hitting the UK? Still waiting on these and prices on Amazon are around £35 per turtle!

I didn't know there was one, no need to be so sharp.

He was in no way being sharp, he directed you to peep thread specifically detailing regional info about the toys you seek.

so I have forever been looking for rocksteady and bebop and I finally found them for retail

I live in Metro Detroit, so a short drive over the bridge to Canada isn't that far. I found out that Windsor has a TRU so I figured I'd take the 20min drive over there and check it out. To my surprise, I found both. Which pisses me off bc I have never once saw them in any US TRU. This scalping stuff has gotten worse. But I'm finally happy I have these 2, I wasn't never going to pay the 40-50 bucks a figure that most people are selling these for. I know where I'll start going for my figures.

This is one time where Canada seems to have these figures more than the U.S. Apparently. They have been warming pegs for over a year North of the border. If we got stuff quicker you could come over more often. With the low Canadian dollar you could clean up. On the flip side I am looking at TMNT stuff to import from America and just shaking my head at how much extra it would cost due to that exchange rate.

Seems like Canada is missing the retro and CC movie turtles.

Where i'm at, i found the movie turtles from a specialty store but at cut throat prices.
They are asking for double what it is worth...... but hey, they probably imported it from US so....

They really aren't worth it to me once I saw them at my local comic book store. The paint application is nothing like they advertise. I'm holding out for a krang and Shredder and hopefully someday an April and Splinter.

So, it sounds like the release of Shredder and Krang is still being evaluated: http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=396&itemid=24235

Are the retro ones only in Toys r Us? I always check if I go to Walmart but they only have Nickelodeon stuff and a couple 2014 movie Foots.

That is some BULL. They're already upsetting the adult collectors demographic as a whole and pulling the plug on these might be the nail in the coffin for a lot of people.

I can't understand why they would still be evaluating sales on those. From what I've seen they've sold very well and it's not like they made them readily available. So I feel like numbers might be already skewed.

I'm pretty livid... Guess I'll be going back to custom building table.. Although if these got released they'd probaby need a paint job anyway

*edit* nevermind I guess it's a deluxe mike from last year... but the much better paint on this version shown threw me off

What's this?



Is that a Classics sized 2014 TMNT movie figure? Or something else?

Would make sense for them to do Classics size 2014 Movie stuff...

That's from the movie wave larger scale figures when the 2014 movie came out. Also playmates needs to stop making so many versions of the turtles and focus on other characters.

That's never gonna happen. Casey Jones should get a figure before this line bites it. Vernon and Burn Thompson have a better chance of being in the classic line than stupid TNM.

I would love a 6" scale Casey Jones. Hopefully they still put out the shredder and Krang. Stop evaluating and start producing playmates
