I'm assuming the set will be $50 at the Con...just contemplating whether I should pay double or just let it go.
All of the people selling pre-sales on eBay don't have one reserved with NECA or anything - They have to get in the same line as everyone else. They're selling the presale on the gamble that they will acquire one. I believe all of the eBay sellers have refunds policies pretty clearly in the event that they don't get one.

I personally am not a fan of eBay presales of ANYTHING.

Yeah, you're right. But also it is the same seller. I guess they have a whole pack of guys that go out and try to get one.

I'm not a big fan of the presales either. But for a guy like me that lives in NY, their boosted price is cheaper than me flying to San Diego and getting one. After the Con, they will all have BIN prices of $200 and then when those sell, you'll never see them again. So sometimes, you just gotta give in.

Boy well this is what I've been hinting at to you folks for awhile, so glad the cats out of the bag.
I've got the images of the Foot Soldier and a link to Murphs blog so you can comment and let him know what you think.
They may have more there I'm not quite sure so be ready to be suprised.

There's always Murphy, who'll be holding a lottery again for the sets.

Will it just be the black and white sets, or mousers? and are we going to be able to only enter whichever contest we want?

Or if my memory serves me correctly, there is always Roseangelo who will sell me hers because I remember her saying something along the lines of she would never be caught dead buying a black and white sets.

I did say that when we saw the first prototypes, but I openly changed my mind when we saw the finished products. So I'll be keeping my set for me.

Ha ha ha, I had a feeling you would change your mind. But yes, I gotta say, the prototypes looked so much different...

Besides, you can't be a hardcore TMNT fan such as yourself, go to the Con and ignore a wonderful exclusive such as this!

Anyone else hoping for a Zog Figure in set 3? Not a generic Trike, but specifically Zog?

I'd be more upset if they did it that way. I can always customize a little damage, and make a Zog... but I'd rather have a generic Triceraton before anything else.

I'm hoping Wave 2 will be finished out with Splinter and Shredder.

My ideal Wave 3 would have Stockman, Leatherhead, Casey, and a Purple Dragon.

Wave 4 would be when we'd be able to talk "Turtles in Space" story arc.

One wonders if the NECA Shredder thread should be merged with this...

Kinda cool, but the paint on him and the Foot Ninjas are kinda a let down.

This is completely off-topic, but apparently you aren't able to receive PMs, Lil G.

What episode of 2k3 did your sig image come from?
