Personally I only have interest in Shredder. I could care less about Ra's Al Ghul, but I still probably won't buy any of these. They are cool but not enough for me to spend $50 a set on or $50 just for Shredder and have to resell Ra's. If they had done some of the mutant villians maube then. I liked the Joker and Harley and could see potentially buying them had they been made.

I am assuming a wave 2 would potentially look like 2 packs of the Batman rouges and their mutant counterparts.

I would actually be interested in buying those because they are unique and different enough but could still be mixed in with different Turtle lines. I've never really been much of a Batman fan but the villians are cool and the mutant versions are even better!

No, mr TOY INDUSTRY OBSERVER, you’re wrong. The packs have characters correctly paired based on how they interact in the movie. Which you would know if you actually bothered to watch the movie which the toys are based on and the whole reason why they exist in the first place

The whole Batman vs. TMNT idea is bogus to me. How do spoofs of comic book characters from the early 80s meet up with actual comic book characters?! What is going on in this century? Since when does fan fiction become fiction for sale?

You see, son, when a daddy corporation with a popular ip and a mommy corporation with a popular ip make a special connection that is mutually financially beneficial, they make sweet corporate synergy and a few months later the result is a beautiful newborn crossover event with merchandise tie-ins.

This made me laugh. After reading about protests in Hong Kong, Brexit, and hurricanes this was a nice change.

Anyone else have their Gamestop.com orders for the sets cancelled? I had the bundle and a couple of extra 2-packs on pre-order (for a fellow Dromer) since July, but got an e-mail today saying the whole thing is cancelled. Anyone else had this issue? The especially galling thing is that I had just called them on Saturday (waited on hold for almost an hour) and was assured that the order was fine. When Gamestop inevitably goes out of business, I will not be surprised in the least.

drag0nfeathers · 09-02-2019, 11:11 AM

I legit just got the exact same thing. My entire order cancelled for no reason! SO PISSED! I've been on hold with them for 40 minutes and I'm still waiting.

I went to reorder them but then saw that they're no longer offering free shipping. I wonder if that's why they cancelled everything. I've been on hold for about an hour listening to this same 30 second long song loop over and over.

Oh the same piano playing loop I've been listing to for like 2 hours now.

I don't care about the shipping, but now they only have the bundle you have to wait until December to get. I wouldn't mind waiting, but I'm not going to wait to find out my order gets cancelled again and I'm SOL from the previously released sets.

Yup. And the lady I talked to said that it's not possible to preorder the bundle because...it's not in stock. I even placed another order while on the phone with her, but when she looked up the order number, she said that it would be cancelled again because of a problem in their system. She offered no solution.

drag0nfeathers · 09-02-2019, 01:35 PM

After 2 and a half hours I gave up. I figured they were closed for labor day. I put in a new order for the bundle, but I just called my local stores and am going to pick up a Raph and a Leo in person after work today... still bull$h*t

*Coro* · 09-02-2019, 01:43 PM

I also woke up to all my online orders cancelled. 2 of each single, and another order of 2 of each set in dec.

I was pretty pissed to call and asky WHY it was cancelled. They said it was an issue with Paypal, to which I called BS on and have evidence blah blah, but bottom line is that "nothing we can do" Game stop attitude was amazing as always...

So I called my local gamestop and asked if they were open and if I could pre order in store. To my surprise TODAY IS THE RELEASE DATE- THEY ARE ON THE SHELVES RIGHT NOW!!!

Anyway. I was also able to pre order the rest of the singles in store too. So I got my 2 sets.

I’m just not a 21st century action figure fan. That’s all.

Yep mine were canceled also

*wpugh2424* · 09-02-2019, 02:32 PM

went by gamestop and there were not turtles in store
they said later this week

*go_ninja84* · 09-02-2019, 03:58 PM

Hmm didn't receive any order cancellation emails and my figures should be delivered Thursday. I paid with my Power up Rewards card so maybe that had something to do with it

if GameStop goes out of business it will be their own fault. i logged in to my account only to find absolutely no order history despite i just ordered the classic 4 pack figures exclusive on Saturday so all i have is my order confirmation emails to check tracking and such. they are really shooting themselves in the foot

The guys in stores today told me they are revamping their web backend supposedly and the orders will be viewable prob tomorrow. This means that all the preorders may have gotten cancelled or screwed up on the website, so if you can get them in store do it. Get the guys to check other stores around you if you can (I am in a decent sized city STL)

TMNTFanatic4Life · 09-02-2019, 06:35 PM

I saw what Coro posted and decided to check some Gamestops near me....found a set of each! I could be wrong, but I think there are 2 sets of each Leo/Batman and Raph/Robin per Gamestop.

Maelxich · 09-02-2019, 09:26 PM

Mine was cancelled as well but I just reordered it if it turns out to be a glitch I will just cancel one I hope

*Zulithe* · 09-03-2019, 03:13 AM

My two sets will be here this week. From social media pics, I think Leo and Raph look amazing. Robin looks pretty good, but I'm really not sure if I like how Batman turned out.

Well whatever, while I do love Batman stuff I'm only getting these for the turtles and shredder. As long as those end up great I'm fine with it.

Also, Gamestop must have finished working on their backend update because I can now see all of my orders that weren't showing up before, including some "partially" shipped orders that looked like they were deleted or something, but now show up correctly.
