No.
The prices may not remain as low for long though. Nuff said.

Damn. It's very tempting, free shipping and original SDCC price.

hm thanks for that. I have my sets but hm, it does seem weird that the price is so low from a secondary seller.

I feel like I saw those photos on eBay.

These are probably leaked factory versions from China.
I saw a couple of preorders at Taobao site that is a bit cheaper than the con price

[Lil Karai]

These must be leaked factory versions or bootlegs. There was a strict limit of 2 per customer at SDCC in order to limit scalping.

[DVD]

The sets on Taobao are legit. Not copies. Not bootlegs. Not leaked sets.

At this time, Neca are trying to retain the ridiculous figure of $100 per set, knowing this is more than double the price that it should be based upon wholesale prices.

SDCC is over. NECA isn't trying to retain any price, as they aren't selling them outside of the Con.

[DVD]

That is not nearly correct.

[Candy Kappa]

Randy said they sold out at SDCC, and NECA are not allowed to sell them outside of SDCC.

By all means, if NECA is derailing from the license agreement and have more sets and sells them on the side, that's their issue, and. I don't see why that would make the sets cheaper, I'm more surprised the price is pretty close to "retail".

[lilmotto]

No way those are legit. No stickers on the boxes either. It makes no logical business sense to buy something and sell it at cost plus then they have I am sure fees for selling on the site as well as shipping costs.

I got all the way to checkout with aliexpress, but they don't have PayPal option.
Anyone buy from this site before? If it sounds safe enough, I'll get a set and report.

Bought a lot from aliexpress (bootlegs, clothing and other stuff). All went smooth.

And there is also a customer cover if the items do not arrive in time.

Everything from NECA can be found really easily on AliExpress:I am wondering if these Arcade TMNT are made by chinese factories, as the quantity is 999+

Really want to buy a Foot set and wipe the pixel paint off

You basically can't find any toys that's not made by Chinese factories. Maybe some Japanese toys from Thailand/Vietnam. Playmobile is somewhere Europe and LEGO....
That's pretty much it.

I meant that they are producing them NOW, like the NECA Mirage Turtles

[I Crave Pizza No More]

I'm only speculating, because I don't have experience with the company or know the details of NECA's arrangement (or lack thereof) with them, but generally if the deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is. I'd be wary of buying these sets and assuming they're authentic.

[EddieNES]

I just ordered a Hong Kong loose Don arcade figure. Guess we'll see how this shakes out. I'll let ya know.

[degausser]

if these are KO's I wouldn't mind picking up another set to display out of the box. I'll only drop money on them if they are good like the mirage KO's.
