[eBay] RARE Toy Fair Nickelodeon TMNT Leonardo!

IveyAngelo · 08-27-2012, 10:52 PM

Hey everyone,

We got one of the rare TMNT Toy Fair toys up on ebay right now. Leonardo. This was released at the Hong Kong Toy Fair in January 2012. It's number L227.

Here's a story I posted about this on Cowabunga Corner which includes a video:

Here's the direct link to the auction on ebay:

This toy is still up on ebay.

Anyone that bids on this will be getting the toy in it's original awesome TMNT playmates black box with the logo on it. Wrapped in bubble wrap to stay protected. It will be mailed out the following day after the auction is over.

It is the first of four that we have that is going up. The Donatello one will also have a sticker autographed by Rob Paulsen with it. If I could get a hold of the other actors before selling, I would add autograph stickers with them too.

These are really cool limited edition toys! Good luck to who ever is trying to collect the full set!

HONG KONG toy fair?! In January?! So the ones in February, what were they? And how many of each Turtle was made? Don't think I've ever heard a number. I had Donatello #36, but recently sold it.

IveyAngelo · 08-30-2012, 11:22 PM

I'm not sure how many were made. I just know where I was told it came from. I know these were given out at the US Toy Fair too, as I've seen the review done on the Michelangelo toy. There's a Donatello #245 on ebay right now too from someone else.

Here's the link to the toy fair I was told these were from. I know I searched for more information and wasn't able to find it. I do know that they are official and are a part of that set though...

It's really cool you had the Donatello, why did you sell?

Personally if this was not donated to be sold I would not be selling - I don't have this set myself yet.

*DonatelloFan* · 08-30-2012, 11:30 PM

I bought it off eBay for a little over $200 (when prices fell from the ridiculous $500-600 range, finally), when I had the money. Then a month or two later, I realized that it was something I could buy later in life if I really wanted to 'complete' any part of any collection, when I had money to really spare, so I sold it to someone on here who wanted to complete their set (they were just missing Don), so I sold it to them.

I do plan on trying to get a set when I have money to blow on whatever, and have the means to properly display them, but right now, and in the foreseeable future, I can live without him/them.

IveyAngelo · 08-30-2012, 11:33 PM

I can understand that, it's why I've held back on buying some of the cool TMNT stuff that has come out in the last few years. Waiting till I got money to spend.

Really I wasn't even looking for these toys, I saw them on reviews and such but when I heard the prices they were going for on ebay I didn't even want to look. Was totally surprised when this set got here.

Scanderson · 08-31-2012, 07:20 PM

I just purchased the complete set of four off of EBay and they arrived today. The cool thing is, they all have the identical number (#027). They are in beautiful condition, complete with the bag for each. I am very excited. I will take them to comic con next year and have Kevin sign/sketch each box, and the set will be a great display for my collection.

*DonatelloFan* · 08-31-2012, 09:26 PM

I've seen a few people that have all four of one number. I don't know how they got that to happen. Only one was handed out to each person at those things, so those people must have went around asking people for their numbers.

*Zulithe* · 08-31-2012, 10:06 PM

Best of luck selling them. Personally if I had that much extra $$$ laying around I'd buy some (authentic, not bootleg) NECA turtles! I still need those

Not selling these guys. The NECA turtles are awesome. I grabbed them all myself plus the boxed sets. Those are super cool.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 09-01-2012, 12:09 AM

Woah! Too rich for me! I still need the other Leo fig from comic con

IveyAngelo · 09-01-2012, 11:06 AM

Congrats on getting a full set.

Yeah I got a set of one number, 227, but was told this would be best to sell one at a time. I talked to a handful of people to figure out how much they're worth and everything before putting them up on ebay.

I know that they normally go for over $200 - so we're not over pricing. A Donny is up right now for more than what we got and it's got at least one bid already on it. So right now it's just the matter of which Turtle the collectors are still looking for. At this value though I would of felt sick doing an $800 starting price for the group.

Scanderson · 09-01-2012, 01:08 PM

This set is for my personal collection. Figures are selling individually for $250, plus shipping. To get an identical (low) numbered set, signed and sketched, is a keeper in my collection. I would have paid a lot more than I did for this set if needed. There are not a lot of options for folks wanting rare TMNT figures in their collection, so this is a nice option.

IveyAngelo · 09-02-2012, 09:47 AM

Yeah I was hoping this would be a good deal. I tried to keep it near it's normal price range without going over.

I think we'll be putting up the Raphael one soon.

I have some people who say I should of put the set up together... that would of been an $800 auction.... so my question to those who read this is... would you rather have the chance to buy one at a time so it's not one big fee? Or would you be after a the full set with matching numbers in one bid?

Would be happy to hear feedback on that.

*Drose18* · 09-02-2012, 09:50 AM

Man Id love one of these for my collection. Sadly I dont have the money. Best of Luck on selling it IveyAngelo.

The second highest bidder on the set I purchased bid over $1,000 for the set as well. You will have a smaller pool of folks bidding on a full set, but all you need is one.

Really cool! Thanks for sharing!

IveyAngelo · 09-02-2012, 07:14 PM

Ok, I'm deciding to stop the auction that is up now and put up the set as a whole. So gotta get things together for that. I'll start a post when the set is up.

It will be an auction for the 227 set, all four Turtles new in box. Starting bid will be $800.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone it has been very helpful!
