MasterMole · 09-09-2005, 08:41 AM

AMEN to that. Thay made 5 Shredders and not 1 with his Utrom inside. Unbelievable!!!!!!!

OA · 09-09-2005, 03:52 PM

Yea, that is a bit odd..

Jed · 09-12-2005, 03:38 PM

After being across the States from New York to LA I only found one Blanque (in a Walgreens in Chicago) and zero Yoshis or Gens. I must have been to close to a hundred stores with TMNT

I'll just have to get Yoshi off eBay I guess.

*Spitfire* · 09-12-2005, 04:48 PM

Or Amazon...which had a toy store in it. And I have all 3 of these by me at my Wal-mart. I saw them last time I was there.

OA · 09-12-2005, 04:49 PM

sheesh...luck you..

*Spitfire* · 09-12-2005, 04:56 PM

I'm just saying their around here I dont know where you guys live so yeah O_O

**GK Punk** · 09-12-2005, 05:04 PM

Man makes me wish I was back home. That's not far from me...

splinter zombie · 09-15-2005, 12:04 AM

I finally got a Hamato Yoshi a couple of days aga. My nephew called me from Kohl's and asked if I needed Yoshi. I told him to hook it up, and I will give him the money when I see him. Kohl's is more expensive, but after seeing thousands of turtles variants everywhere, it was nice to get a new figure.
By the way, I am in Joliet, IL. so they are out there somewhers

OA · 09-15-2005, 04:04 PM

seesh...I guess they are slowly startin to trickle out...

andrewdsz · 09-26-2005, 02:52 PM

GEN BLANQUE + HAMATO YOSHI on ebay:

OA · 09-26-2005, 04:52 PM

Yea, in general, these 2 figs in particualr always sell above store value...i'd rather just wait to find them in store...plus its funner that way!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 10-20-2005, 09:11 AM

I found Gen at Target and bought him. The next day when I had more money I picked up Yoshi. They didn't have any Blanques, so I went to Wal-Mart, which had several Yoshis and two Blanques, one of which I bought. I have a feeling that it will become easier to find these figures as it gets closer to Christmas; the other basic figures are starting to show up in the new packaging as well. Casey looked really cool, they changed his pose a bit.

OA · 10-20-2005, 03:31 PM

Yea, I've finally found latest wave including GEN! I've seen Yoshi and Blanque in a number of stores already and quite a bit of them but only 1 Gen...i also Casey in the new packaging...one more set for the variation hunters among us...

aramconbrat · 10-21-2005, 02:39 PM

In the last two/three weeks, Gen has gone from going for about $50 on Ebay to the current Buy It Now of about $12-15 so I am assuming the American market has been flooded by the new figures.

It is the time of year for all the new toys. I got a second job just because in the next three months will be the majority of new TMNT toys and I don't want to miss any. My second income is my TMNT income... You guys probably understand, but my coworkers stare at me like I am nuts. =P

OA · 10-21-2005, 04:19 PM

Yea, i completely understand..besides such variety, with alot of figs/vehicles going for $10 a pop, to get them all you pretty much have to have a second job (or a very well paying 1st one...)

Jed · 10-21-2005, 05:10 PM

It gets worse when you live outside the US. Half the figures never make it overseas so to get some you gotta pay eBay prices with postage on top of that.

It's constant guess work as to which will show up here aswell. I've paid over the odds for a lot of figures that ended up coming out in Ireland. Then there's figures I thought would definetly come out here (the Deep Divin' TMNT) and they never did, so I gotta import them too.

Thanks to my 31 hours of college a week and continuous assessment based course I can't get a job until next summer, when a lot of the TMNT out now will be hard to come by

aramconbrat · 10-21-2005, 08:48 PM

Oh I do fully understand. I am pulling about 40 hours of University a week... And I have a part time job that I enjoy and basically hold onto (work weekends) because a few years at a job looks good...

But for the most part I have made myself promise to only collect the figures (and the playsets which only has included the Sewer) but the problem there is things like the SWAT packs, and the motorcycles which have vehicles AND a figure. So I must buy those. That is why I am not thrilled about the Mech Wrekkers...

Just across the border we are so many waves behind and I don't know what will come out and what will not. Just recently we got the Ninja Knights and the Battle Nexus turtles... but as for bad guys, where the Americans got the Battle Nexus foes, all I've seen here that was recently released was the Giant Mouser. I was thrilled to get it.

I try to avoid Ebay with hopes that I can get them at price eventually. I did buy two of the Deep Divin Turtles on there because I rarely see them on Ebay and they aren't available through Toysrus.com or Walmart.com.

I do sympathize and if I can help you get any at cost, let me know. We don't have much selection up here... The 'after Thanksgiving releases' were -

Monster Trappers
Air Ninjas
Ninja Knights
Battle Nexus Turtles
Giant Mouser
Combat Warriors
Mech Wrekkers

I check the stores regularly so if something I would determine as hard to find comes out, I'll let you know!
