The "See I told ya so!" rap.

Some of us are skeptical...can't blame us for wanting to hold out some hope, right?
(EDIT: And I know I'm not one of the afore mentioned a-holes, I hope...)

Grr. Take it so seriously, why don't you? It isn't as if I was saying that every fan buys everything regardless of quality. I'm probably one of the most easy-to-please fans of the TMNT and I still don't buy everything. Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy everything. Certain things cater to my interest. These toys don't exactly do that because I'm more into the comics and DVDs. I'm tempted to pick them up but I'm contemplating if it's worth it compared to some other things I want to pick up.

Chill out. You don't need to get so angry that you double-post.

That was the result of a thread merge, so it's not truly a double post.

If I knew what I said that you replied to I could reply back to you but since you didn't I won't.
I'm fine with them re-releasing them honestly I don't give 2 sh1ts more money in my pocket to buy Dc Universe and Marvel Legends figures.
But when the box art is just that down right bad I as a design who busts his butt to get jobs is offended by such bad art by someone who shouldn't even be working in the graphic design field if their skills are that bad.
It looks like some fan made desktop wallpaper on ninjaturtles.com
So as you see i'm not about the toys themselves it's the thought or lack there off behind it all that gets my goat.

Agreed. Personally I despise buying figures retail. I wonder why these haven't been made available to online companies, Playmates has no problem selling them the new Star Trek figures. I think that I will just buy these from Ebay. Even at inflated prices it still beats the stress of having to deal with the idiots that work at my local Target and TRU. I guess i'm just really spoiled from being able to order sealed cases of Star Wars and DST's TNG figures without hassle.

Here are some pics someone posted on another forum. It shows the bottom view of the packs.

[Candy Kappa]

seems like they've smashed box art from all the new released on one card, a bit cheap looking

[Canadian Turtle]

Hahaha! this is sweet! I like the fact that its old school packaging. But why the hell hasn't anyone seen these ?? You'd think someone here would have found one in a store!!

So which other forum did you find that pic in?... EDIT!! never mind I should learn to read... its all cool everyone I just woke up and missed the second and third page of this thread. Have a nice day!!

so this is what I miss when I leave the computer to go have sex.

one thing that Ive learned in the short time that Ive been here is that Vaughn is always correct with the information that he posts. unlike most of us, Vaughn is one of the few people on the Drome that has inside sources and he knows what he's talking about. give it time... you'll see that he's right.

welcome to CANADA!!! they have been using that method here since I was a kid. it's cheaper for them to produce one single generic cardback and put a sticker on the bubble to identify the character than it is to create individual cards for each character. it's done here for the purpose of having multi-language cards without any creativity. (and for some reason some Americans collect Canadian variants.) and I don't have any complaints about the figs themselves...yet. but for all I know they could be made with inferior plastic and they'll break right after you open them. it wouldnt shock me if Playmates cheaped out on the quality of the figs as well. but don't get me wrong, Im glad that they're reissuing the original TMNT figs, I just wish it was handled in a more respectful way.

[Ninjinister]

So... nobody's seen anything but Turtles thus far, right?

God I hope Playmates didn't pull their usual crap and release only Turtles.... >.<

I joked that fans whine about everything then buy it anyway. Then you jumped down my throat over it. That's what we were talking about.

Turn your nose up just a little higher. Us un-edumucated commoners can't quite quite see what's in there yet.

I haven't, but I'm familiar with the plot (and the hilarious Brawndo 'commercials', done by the same dude that does the PowerThirst ones).

My point was, we're supposed to be here discussing the figures, not whining about who's right, who's wrong, who's rubbing their nose in things, who's making "I told you so's" like Toxic Crusaders' Psycho... There is way too much arguing and drama on these forums, and we need to be more civilized.
