How is it that they are available on the website again?

Whoever posted that is wrong. You can add to cart, but can't check out.

Good tag line for a horror movie....

, but you can't check out!"

Got my set at NYCC today. Been waiting forever for a Mirage Shredder to go with my NECA turtles. Get home and take a closer look and am disappointed to see I blew $100 on poor quality control. Shredder has a right hand on his left arm, and the plastic twisty tie smooshed one of his shin blades.

I planned on opening this and didn't really care about all the foot soldiers but wanted to buy the legit set and support the company for finally making this a reality. But now I wish I waited for the Chinese bootlegs...

Sucks. I will say thought that NECA customer service is excellent. Contact them for free replacements. @NECA_CS on Twitter or http://necaonline.com/contact/support-2/

Also I LOL'd at your horror movie comment DVD

Timmetry · 10-07-2016, 09:59 PM

My set shows it is en route and will be delivered by end of day on Tuesday.

Bruz · 10-07-2016, 10:03 PM

Also his other hand's blades are bent. Both, in fact.

Bruz · 10-07-2016, 10:06 PM

AND his bicep has a mark on it!

Everyone else looks fine. Shredder, the most wanted figure, is a mess.

Lil Karai · 10-07-2016, 10:07 PM

Yeah that's disappointing for sure. I posted links to NECA customer service 2 posts up if you want free replacements. If you want to try and fix yourself, you might be able to straighten them with a blow dryer.

I have 50+ NECA Predator and Alien figures, and I had 1 figure with issues. Contacted their customer service and got a free replacement right away. I recommend that route.

Bruz · 10-07-2016, 10:30 PM

I did, Lil Karai, thank you. I'll let you all know how they respond. Hope everyone else had better luck than me.

I also noticed something it is signature required. So for those of you that are at work during the day that could be an issue.

Finally showing my order as shipped... From California. Supposedly be here by end of business on FRIDAY... Man alive, I hope so. Haha

I posted it but your right you can't check out. Its always said "sold out" on the page but when I was there yesterday I saw you could "add to Cart". Seems kinda crummy on NECAS part to fill people with false hope and be shot down like that

Mine's showing as in New Jersey but still just "label printed". Really hoping for fast shipping on these as I'm only in Florida 11-17th and would hate for these to get stuck at my hotel after I leave!! Friday is starting to cut it a little close for comfort!

Yeah, that would really suck... I'm hoping to bring my set to Shellback to have Pete sign them... If they come after Friday it won't happen... I'm leaving at 7 in the morning... Lol

theyve said from the get go that these would only be available during the short preorder window online and in personal NYCC first come first serve. Because of that statement, I wouldn't have thought to check their website. I understand how the minor glitch might have bothered you however. I had a similar moment on The Loyal Subjects webpage.

People are starting to post some pics of their sets on social media and it looks like the box comes with a nice background insert, just like the arcade turtles did.

Hope they arrive in time for you to take to Shellback! You'll have to post pics if you get them signed, they'll look awesome!

It was my understanding that they would be available online while supplies lasted. It's very possible that some orders were declined or canceled in some way after the fact or math was simply done wrong to make a few more available on their website.

*DVD* · 10-08-2016, 07:18 PM

Based on a previous comment, any surplus stock from NYCC will be on the site immediately after the show.

*Powder* · 10-10-2016, 08:18 AM

Requires signature. Label created 5 days ago, still hasn't shipped. I'm getting cranky.
