Ha. TRU US' stuff looks like that domestically, too. They're notoriously careless.

I got a neca non tmnt figure from Toys R Us.com all they packed it with was brown paper. Thankfully nothing was damaged but id say use bubble wrap or those air packets amazon uses. But hey I guess that's what Free shipping gets ya.

Sounds like them - I bought a Masterpiece Transformer from TRU Australia online and it was a cardboard on cardboard situation. No padding, no paper, just the retail box jammed into a loose fitting shipping box with the end folded over because it was way too long. The packaging looked like someone had run a belt sander over it and then rolled it down a few flights of stairs. I was pissed because those things aren’t cheap.

NECA announced today on twitter that between declined credit cards and cancelled orders, they will be offering a limited amount of certain 'con exclusive items for sale on their site Friday 11/4. Details next week. Not sure if this includes TMNT stuff or not yet.

Oh it will include TMNT stuff alright.

Since the quantities we found are so small, we’re combining these newly discovered pieces with the few unclaimed pieces of our 2016 TMNT exclusives (pre-orders that were not picked up or not paid for) and offering them in a sure-to-be-brief sale here at thenecastore.com.

Still US-only shipping I'm guessing?

Sucks. They can bend the rule of 'con-only' but not 'US shipping only'

Yep. The license restrictions of "con only" were relaxed slightly after such a positive fan response from SDCC, thus allowing them to sell at NYCC and online for that particular exclusive. The "US only" restriction portion of the license is more complicated and firm. (from what they have indicated).

I picked up an arcade villian set. Sad they didn't have the turtles too.

Pretty disappointing they made it out like they found some old stuff in storage, but it ended up just being the leftovers from the recent cons.

Ah well. They are forgiven with these Henson releases.

Their page only went back to 2010 for neca exclusives so not sure why you were thinking we would get 2008 neca. They did exactly what I thought they would.

Yeah, guess you're right. Just the wording got my hopes up. No biggie.

I did see a few predators from 2013 or before. So there was some old stuff too.
Didn't pick anything up, as I have most of that stuff already and there's some stuff getting released this holiday season that I'd rather have. Glad some people got a chance to pick up some exclusives at the legit prices.

What are the chances Neca releases the four turtles in packaging like they did for the villains 4 pack? Maybe they could release the older ones or design new ones? Then make another set with Casey Jones, Triceratron, and others.
