Well I finally got the 4 turtles from the new show after hunting for a bit.
Toy R Us was the first place I found them here in Pittsburgh.
They had Splinter as well but I decided to pass on him.

My case of classics has shipped from BBTS! Hopefully I'll get one Don without crooked eyes!

I hope you do, but I don't think it's a limited problem. I think all of them have it.

I was wondering about that. I don't think I've seen one without crooked eyes.

Does anyone have the rippin rider? The gas tank on mine is just a plain gas tank but all the promo pictures of it shows the gas tank with a turtle shell design. I'm very disappointed because I was on the edge about getting any vehicles but the design really tipped me over for this one and then it's not the same as all the pictures showed.

I have it, but haven't taken it out of the box yet. I'll post pictures when I finally do.

Can you take a picture of it?

If you guys have a Hastings anywhere near you, someone found the Classics over there.

This is such an eyesore, literally. I can't believe nobody pointed that out during initial production. Sad...as a Donatello fan I'm extremely disappointed.

I am at work now, so unfortunately not. If someone doesn't beat me to it by the time I get home I will.

So I was supposed to get all my figures and stuff today via UPS from TRU.com... I just checked my delivery status and it as been noted that there has been an exception do to a train derailment.... Who knows how long its going to take now, LOL... And hopefully my stuff isn't all destroyed, what a crappy way to start a Friday

At least your stuff wasn't in that UPS truck that run into a river a couple weeks ago. I bet when people saw that, they thought 'Crap, I hope MY stuff wasn't on that truck...'.

For those of you who plan on opening your classics, just shave off Donny's pupils with a straight razor and re-paint them. That's what I'll do, if need be.

No shaving required. The pupils aren't sculpted.

*Powder* · 07-20-2012, 12:35 PM

I don't mean shave off the plastic, just the paint. I wouldn't assume they were sculpted...

It's an easy solution, it just sucks that the morons didn't catch this kind of thing before mass production. Especially for collectors pieces such as these, this is an atrocious oversight.

Doomsword · 07-20-2012, 02:29 PM

Going to TRU after work to see if they have finally put out some TMNT stuff. I pretty much have everything I want from the new stuff already, but I still need an April for my Niece & Nephew, and I really just want to see the stuff on store shelves, especially if they have that cool display we have heard about.

On a side note: Looks like the outside-US embargo has stopped.

BBTS sent me a shipping notice for an order previously cancelled(?). Naughty, I know. I however will have Don and Leo finally, and a spare Mike n Raph for my nephews.

Your also from the UK, where did you get your figs from?

yea, something tells me this isn't going to be au pair with Mattel's MOTUC figures.

Sure some of the MOTUC figures had some issues like reverse shoulders, but not lazy eyes.
