Just saying.

This would be a great argument, except for the fact that this is an "old" item, simply re-hashed in new packaging.

Thursday is the day that TRU gets new shipments so I went today. Nada. Same three aprils from last year that no one wants, same two party wagons aswell as several dress up kit things... no go.

Dress up kit things? Huh?

The party vans when they go on sale might be nice to have for customs...

Mighty Bebop · 04-16-2010, 12:29 PM

Waitaminute... the dress up sets? I didn't know those were being re-released!

Ya know, the things that come with a large weapon, bandana, kneepads and turtle nose... for kids to wear...

As for those turtle vans, they've been on the clearance shelf for a friggin eternity yet its the only item not brought down to a clearance price. If ever, I'll buy em and sell em.

To my knowledge, they haven't been yet. The ones at my toy r us are NOT vintage nor do they have the retro packaging... they've been sitting on the shelves for months.

Except this is a NEW product. Your argument fails because all of the re-releases are also just old product in new pacakging.

Again, I dunno why people are having a hard time comprehending this. We've never seen this product before in this packaging, correct?

It's specifically mentioned in the October Press Release that this product is part of their new 2010 lineup of toys IN RETRO PACKAGING...

It then shows up, in 2010, in retro packaging, just like the press release said.

So yeah, this is a new product.

If this was just the 2008 stuff showing up again that'd be one thing. It's not.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-16-2010, 03:11 PM

This item has been out for at least a year now. I have TWO of them. Only difference is that the eyes are white...other than that, the toy inside is exactly the same.

So, yes, it is a "new" product in the sense that it comes in retro packaging...but the name attributed to the piece as well as the packaging text (Sludge Runners, "Room For Two Riders!") is EXACTLY the same. So I'm unclear of the argument you are trying to make here.

How do you now see that this is a new item? I'm not talking about the product. I'm talking about the fact that's it's NEW package and new SKU. You said it yourself, this is in a new package.

This isn't old stock from 2008.

This is something that Playmates made for 2010.

Towards the end of 2009, Playmates had a press release and said here are some of new TRU exclusive items coming in 2010, they include, SLUDGE RUNNERS IN RETRO PACKAGING, Re-Release Movie Star Turtles, etc etc etc...

So, uh, this is the first of those NEW items as described in the press release.

While we don't know for sure that the rest of the items will be coming out, it's definitely plausible now.

Also, if the paint deco was changed (IE: The new white eyes) that means that these figures are from a new run, not the original batch. So no, these are not two year old figures.

This is no different than the retro 25th Turtles, which are 20 year old product in new packaging.

*Samhain* · 04-17-2010, 11:45 AM

HMMM, Just saw this. Very strange. I would like more pics of the box. I think that is the only good part about this thing.

*BigApple3AM* · 04-17-2010, 01:15 PM

I have to agree that this doesn't mean much regarding the comic turtles. Though maybe we'll get those movie star turtles afterall.

robweb26 · 04-17-2010, 03:35 PM

i really hope we do get the movie star turtles. even though I have a set loose.

andrewdsz · 04-17-2010, 04:37 PM

I dont like the price at all, even though we "might" get the movie star tmnts.

Right now the original ones are sellin for 12.99$ at toysrus that means after tax it is goin to cost us about 56$ for four turtles.

Why dont u playmates go rob a bank that maybe a little bit quicker way to make money.

billbot85 · 04-18-2010, 05:20 PM

Well, we at first thought Shredder, foot, and Slash weren't gonna show up and they did. Its possible more stuff might come out. All I know is that ebay is thin on 25th Ann wave 3 figures and Amazon is sold out on the cases of 8. Maybe this is just a lull or something.

billbot85 · 04-19-2010, 09:48 PM

The Sludge Runner Leonardo is also on the TRU website

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=3870104

Looks like this got a picture...unlike wave 3

*Spitfire* · 04-20-2010, 04:37 PM

Went to my TRU this weekend. They had nothing. They haven't had turtles since Wave 2 came out last year. I doubt they're ever getting any.

I agree with you here for the most part, I would love to see the other sides of the box.

*Kendamu* · 04-23-2010, 04:09 PM

Cool packaging. Now only if the product inside reflected the packaging.
