How much could one expect to pay for a set of these?

For what I've been seeing on eBay, I would expect the price to settle at something around $175-$200 once people who preordered get them in hand. Plus shipping.

I'd be more than happy to buy it if someone wants to sell their extra set at a reasonable price.

I have the colored bootlegs

I always wanted to buy some to make the exclusive versions they originally teased in yellow and green jump suits

Did anyone who ordered an April recently just get their order canceled? I just got a message saying they realized mine was broken in the package and had to cancel the order, but seems a little suspect when they had multiple in stock when I ordered... I wonder if they just want to mark up prices?

Well no way to tell if we all ordered from the same seller but I got my shipping confirmation so i believe my order is still a go

I didn't see it mentioned before, but the order confirmation for the villains set... does everyone else's say "unfulfilled"? I ordered right as soon as I saw that they were available... never preordered something direct like this or anything at all through NECA...

Unfulfilled means you paid but they didn't ship yet every pre-order I have even on other sites say that. Nothing to worry about

I know you US guys and gals are relying on my "word" that I'll pay up after you've spent your hard earned cash, but I will deliver if anyone here can deliver for me...

Gentle reminder, if anyone has a spare set they are willing to sell and also ship to UK, please...plllease let me know.

I will pay all shipping costs etc

PM me if anyone wants to work something out.

Thanks

Very excited this infamous NECA Mirage Shredder is finally coming out! I too just bought a NECA April, never got it before but now that this set is being released, I wanted to add to the collection. Hopefully we get a NECA Splinter and Casey Jones soon! Please Playmates, pretty please?!

In a way NECA kinda pulled a Playmates on us (re-release the same sculpts in different paint colors) but I know it wasn't their fault and had more to do with the licensing issue. NECA could make truly amazing sculpts for the Mirage line and the OT line if Playmates would allow it.

Lil Karai · 09-12-2016, 10:10 AM

Repaints and parts re-use are a staple in the toy industry and have been for a long time. GI Joe, transformers, Star Wars, etc.

Plus companies like NECA, Four Horsemen and many others do this as well. The cost to produce the steel molds used to produce figures (Tooling) is very very very expensive, and repaints and parts reuse help cover those initial costs.

Plus since NECA's TMNT license only limits sales to cons, they are further wing clipped and repaints is a way to try and make money on the sculpts.

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure. Thanks.

Who did you order from ? I got the exact same message

radar_toys_and_collectibles. I followed up with some questions about the damage and turns out a whole box of them were destroyed by Fed-Ex during shipping to their warehouse. Fortunately they said there is a replacement shipment on the way and will notify me when they arrive, and cut a small discount for the trouble too, so I think it was a legit issue with shipping and not a cash-in.

*Candy Kappa* · 09-13-2016, 07:15 AM

I bought a April yesterday, the order wasn't canceled, but after I paid for the figure, I got a msg in eBay from the buyer that they wanted more money to ship it in a secure box instead of an envelope, and sent a money request through PayPal.

Kinda sketchy... I've said no thank you about paying extra, so we'll see how it'll work out.

*go_ninja84* · 09-13-2016, 08:57 AM

i ordered, an April with Mousers 2 pack a while ago i believe i paid about 30 for it ill have to search around see where i put her

I ordered April from Radar Toys on both EBay and Amazon and received them quickly with no issues. So this might be a legit issue they had.
