Neca TMNT SDCC Video Game sets - Page 3

Dammit, I want these but there's no chance of me getting them, unless there's a friendly soul here on the forums who'd like to help. I'll probably have to battle for it at eBay after the event.

... living in a scalper's paradise.

I cannot see a way that I would be able to buy these for what NECA are selling them for. Pretty cool otherwise.

Capitalism?

I've always like the 8/16 bit inspired action figures so these are pretty awesome. The preorders seem to be selling quick and the prices keep going up. Anyone know when they release? Is it the day of the convention?

Lordmylar06 · 05-24-2016, 10:59 AM

There are already $400 preorders for both sets on ebay. Scalpers gonna scalp.

being a kid who often played this arcade game back in the day i badly want these. i remember Playmates had the exclusive Space Leonardo at SDCC but later found him on online retail. if that does not happen here, im either gonna have to forget about them or pay 400+.

I think these look absolutely fantastic. Sculpts, paint apps, articulation....all amazing. I sure hope we get these in single packs.

"Only way we are able to make TMNT in this scale is for cons only and sold in sets. License restrictions no retail"--Randy via Twitter

so in short you won't see any of those in single packs at retail

Just pulled the trigger on these earlier today. Got both sets for $390 on eBay. With shipping and import tax to the UK, ends up being £375. Just over a weeks wages for me, which is the way I like to think about it.

For 8 figures, which (to me) look super badass, I don't think is too bad at £47 each. I paid £50 for each of the Revoltechs, and the Figuarts will probably end up being more than that due to them being around $64 a figure.

All in all, paying double what the SDCC attendees will pay doesn't seem that bad to me. If NECA are correct (and why would I doubt them), there's basically a zero chance to bag these at a reasonable price if you're not going to comic con. Getting them from scalpers is just the reality of the situation.

As a few of these have already been sold on eBay for double the price NECA will be charging, I think it will be difficult to find prices lower than that in the future. The price will only go up from now on IMO.

With these being TRUE SDCC Exclusives which won't be found anywhere else, it feels like quite a unique item. Not going to be like the usual items that get labelled as "exclusives". Just based on that fact alone, I feel that these will become highly collectable in the future. If anyone is still on the fence about these, I think you're better off getting them sooner rather than later. Just my 2 cents.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-24-2016, 03:24 PM

I doubt they will be "2016 SDCC Exclusives", as much as whenever NECA is at a con they gonna sell some "exclusive" Turtles.

*go_ninja84* · 05-24-2016, 03:45 PM

while i do want these bad. i have the exclusive Mondo figures and the Figuarts figures and the NECA Donatello coming so im gonna wait to see if these become either available online or wait to see if the price goes down once they are out

*Candy Kappa* · 05-24-2016, 04:12 PM

i wonder how easy the paint would rub off, and the just do done simple touch-ups. They seem to be mostly molded colored plastic with pixel print on.

these people are frigging ridiculous

people are going to be disappointed, it's only 2 sets per person

Lil Karai · 05-24-2016, 06:02 PM

Found a friend of a friend that is going to SDCC. Paypaled them for tomorrow's preorder and they will pick me up for me.

Luckily this was pretty simple for me and for that I am thankful. No complaints.

However I was prepared to purchase them on the secondary market if this connection didn't pan out.
Con price works out to be $25 per figure. They will probably go for double on eBay after the con and once competition sets in which is $50 a figure. Still cheaper than Figuarts.

Since the con is going to be the only venue for NECA TMNT moving forward, well I'll be attending the con next year. It's a bucket list thing for my anyway and getting to meet Randy and see one of the best booths at SDCC is just a bonus.

And no, I am not made of money (read, no Prime 1 or Sideshow products in my house).

gunstarheroblue · 05-24-2016, 06:36 PM

they arnt too bad, the styling isnt for me though.

it looks like the alternative is,
get good at customizing figures, and / or have an advanced 3d printer or you are out of luck for 7" TMNT figs it seems.
would have been a great opportunity to bring a line based on the IDW series and now that the game has dropped- they already have the 3d character models from that to help make figures, easier said than done...oh well.

They already said these won't appear at future cons that they're attending. So... yeah. No.

Yeah and really so was Mortal Kombat but I'd take a TMNT cabinet over that any day because I'm more of a die hard Street Fighter fan anyway.

What do you guys think is a fair price to pay for these on ebay?
