I've still had no luck in getting CT and RK. Looked high and low all over VA and MD! Seriously! ><
Also still looking for zip-line/stealth Leo. Have the other 3, but Leo is HARD to find!
On another note, I thought this was interesting:

Stealth Leo is in stock on Toysrus.com

Not sure if they ship to the UK though.

As you can probably see from my comment about looking high and low in MD and VA stores, I am currently in the US.
The problem with TRU is that they are more expensive than other places.
I have looked in actual TRU stores - lots of them all over - and nowhere has them
Amazon has them, maybe I'll resort to that!

That's a nice case. Everybody except Fishface, and no goddamn Ooze turtles. 2007 movie Raph on pic

Not sure how much you think you should be spending, but Toysrus has him listed at $8.99. Amazon selling them for $11.99, so...

I looked at TRU website, and it said only available in stores. Maybe they had more in since I last looked.
And the actual TRU stores around here are nearly always more expensive than other stores. I usually end up getting them from Target.

EDIT: I just looked at TRU online, and the zipline LEo is now on there, but S&H is $5, so still more expensive than Amazon where I can get free shipping with Amazon Prime!

I wonder who is actually buying all these Turtle variants? Do little kids keep picking them up?

I'd imagine so. I know I'm not, not sure about others on here. All these turtle variants are goofy looking. I have the four basic turtles, and that's about all I need of those particular characters.

More likely than not, it is the young boys who buy the variants. Also, I hope this line doesn't succumb to King Bumi Syndrome.

But you bought them. Makes sense. You basically told Playmates you loved them.

I don't like the Ooze ones and haven't bought them, but the Stealth Tech ones are cool, hence why I've got 3 of the 4. Now I NEED The 4th one (Leo)... I can't get to 3 and not have them all! So annoying!

I don't love them, I hate them. And not everything you buy you love.

...So let me get this straight...you buy things that you don't even like, or better yet, hate?

You do realize how stupid that sounds, right? Why would you buy something you hate? You take your hard earned money, and spend it on something you dont like. And in the process, you let Playmates know you like them because all they see is dollar signs. If these things didnt sell, Playmates wouldnt make them.
