Could always leave a note on your door... I don't know if that will work or not, but it can't hurt... that and a 10 spot... lol.

Mine showed up in mass at 1am and according to the tracking, hasn't moved since...

Regarding the signature issue... is there somewhere on the shipping confirmation that would list this? I didn't notice anything offhand...

Set arrived last night and my Foot Ninja's arm broke off taking him out of the package tray. Sigh.

Did it snap completely off? One of my purple Arcade Foot broke one of the joints in the elbow, but it can still stay on thanks to the way the joint broke.

It's happen to several of my NECA figures, particularly Gears of War figures.

I received both my sets last night. The outer shipping box came in pristine condition. Upon opening, the figures were packed very well inside a very form fitting shipping box with paper wrapping and protective cardboard. I pulled both box sets out to check condition. Both had a minor corner dent, one was slightly worse than the other but great condition. I inspected all the figures and did not find any incorrect parts. As others have mentioned, Shredders' blades appear crammed into the sleeve. I wrapped these back up and placed them in the shipping box until I figure out what I will do with them.

I'm glad my wife works from home and could sign for it. I wish Neca would have stated these are shipped with signature required and I would have had it delivered to my office.

I have a feeling my Arcade Shredder is going to suffer that faith too, the same peg on his right arm is always stuck.

That sucks. Contact NECA customer service and they will set you up with a replacement.

Huh. I don't see that at all on my tracking page. Just the estimated delivery date and the tracking number.

Oof, that sucks. Are they all this delicate, I wonder? I'll have to be extra careful with them, I guess.

I hope they send you a replacement quickly. And if you can glue that back on, extra Foot Ninja, I guess??

I'd say it's standard NECA, so gentleness is always important.

I don't have tons of NECA figures, but I've had decent luck with the Mirage Turtles, I guess? A few kneepads fell off over time, and the streetlamp from the display snapped near the base, but I was able to glue them back together pretty easily.

Definitely gonna be extremely careful with these guys, though.

My Turtles are unscathed, only loose joints here and there on my first set due to stop-motion work.

Other figures not so lucky.

They came they came!!!

I really wanted to run around shouting that yesterday when they finally arrived. But I am an adult, and do not live with anyone who shares my TMNT passion so I refrained. A little tip for getting them out of the box. Pop the plastic bubble that sticks over the arms back away from them. Do the legs first. Then gently work the rest of the body. The metal tips on Shredder's hands were a little bent, but I will be displaying him with his other hands anyway. Definitely some tight joints. They seem to be loosening up though. I got two sets, but only opened one. I wasn't going to open the other, but maybe I will just to see if everything is intact.

Now that I have it in hand I really think the foot with the bandana is possible movie one.

Anyone know why NECA double charges for shipping like they do? Seems a bit overkill for us fans, if you snagged 2 sets to pay $32 for shipping... I know shipping isn't cheap these days, but I'm sure I could habe shipped them 2 at a time for less than that.... �� And I'm still waiting for mine. Should be here soon though as they only habe a short time left.

Just as I finished writing that comment, the UPS guy drove by... He likes to start at the high end of the street (dead end)... I almost had a heart attack...

Especially considering the crappy shipping that has been reported. If I pay 15 for shipping bubble wrap and pad the damn things. Carelessly tossing in a box and shipping does not warrant 15 dollars for shipping
