*Coro* · 08-02-2012, 05:03 PM

ATTENTION All St.Louis Shellheads!!!

Toys R Us in South County on Lindbergh has about 100 basic figures, and about 8 classics left on the shelf. All vehicles, sewer set, and talking turtles as well as the weapon sets are on the shelf there as of 2pm.

I picked up my classics, and a few more basics (and the last April and Kraang sorry), but every other turtle figure and accessory is there right now.

Why are you still reading this!??!?! Go get them!

*Candy Kappa* · 08-02-2012, 05:05 PM

Looks like I'm getting the classics though my local comic store. Got a phone call today by the store owner, the Classics have arrived to Norway. Wooh!

totally awesome news!!!!

*Donnie* · 08-02-2012, 09:53 PM

I totally lucked out and found the Classics at my local Toys 'R Us! I'm on Long Island. I was so excited to find them there! I already bought Classics Don from my LCS for $21.99, but now I was able to get my second Classics Don to keep MIB, for only $16.99 retail price! I only bought Don, so now I have two Don's: I don't need the whole set, believe it or not. Just wanted one Donnie to keep MIB, the other to take out.

AND...the Don I picked up from Toys 'R Us is hardly cockeyed at all! I lucked out guys!

I also snagged the Sound FX Donatello. At $12.99, these figures are surprisingly awesome. So, total spoils for the day:

I'm borderline broke at this point, so I'm done for now. In total, I have the entire Nick line (+2 extra Donatello to keep MIB), 1 Sound FX Don, 2 Storage Shell Don, and 2 Classics Don. I always buy doubles to keep one MIB and take other out, but I don't need 2 Sound FX. I think I'll just keep the one I have MIB.

Be careful posting pictures in this thread. Some people already know what these look like and don't want to keep seeing them

Congrats on finding a good Don. Once they hit here I am going to try and find a good one.

*Candy Kappa* · 08-03-2012, 08:59 AM

got mine, Don is lazy eyed. But I'll paint them white eyes.

Got some issues with Raph's right hand, his fingers have some excess rubber. This makes making a fist, makes his fingers go out of socket. They don't fall out luckily.

*MikeandRaph87* · 08-03-2012, 10:49 AM

I just got back form Toys' R Us. This time it was a fresh batch of atleast one of everything out. Instead of just four basic Nick line figures left and one double of the four, it was plentiful and overflowing! That was nice sight. I bought all four of the Classics Line.

I don't see what the problem is with Don's eyes. Mine looks fine. Its not like Leo's '88 moc problem. There is just one problem with these, it says 1988! The toys were but the original Ninja Turtles cartoon was 1987! My year!

Hope we hear about a second batch ASAP! It would make sense if its a certain quartet of villains!

My Raph has the same problem, glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Finally found in retail today. Was able to pick my sister up a non-wonky eyed Donatello... Just keep it a secret, I wanna surprise her shhhh

Panda Khan · 08-03-2012, 06:47 PM

Went to TRU today and got one set of the Classics. Unfortunately the other set on the shelf was missing Donatello so I didn't bother buying those. I cancelled my case pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store because they've yet to ship them and I got tired of waiting when I can just get them locally. Today was tax free day in my state so I actually didn't pay that much more compared to online. Donatello wasn't "wall-eyed" either.

tmnt transformer · 08-04-2012, 03:25 PM

Has anyone checked out the playmates toys website lately......On there basic figures area they show 3 new "coming soon" boxes....Here is the link:http://playmatestoys.com/brands/teen...-figures/basic

OHHHH DONNIE!! I've gotta hear the Power FX Donatello.

Doomsword · 08-04-2012, 04:29 PM

Got the Power Sound figures minus Shredder in the mail this week, I ordered them all off TRU when they were having the 20% off sale & free shipping over $75.00. The Shredder is backordered still & I got an email that they will cancel it if they don't have it in stock by 08/31. Went to several Target's & Wal-Mart's today looking for some bookcases or shelving & checked the toy aisles for Turtles. All the Target's had them out, but no sign of them at Wal-Mart yet.

I also stopped by TRU since I was out anyway & they had re-stocked. They have a full end cap of Turtle stuff now without anything else mixed in. They had the Lair Playset & the Classics. I finally got an April for my Niece & Nephew.

I also got a Classic Don that has very good eyes. I looked very closely through all of the Classics to examine the paint jobs on them. The Mikey's were horrible, they had eye issues worse than what we have seen on the Don's. One tiny pupil & one normal sized pupil on all of them. I forgot to take my cam since I wasn't planning to stop by TRU or I would have taken some pic's.

Edit: Here is a pic of the Don I got:

I picked up a Power Sound FX Don too the other day. After being pleasantly surprised with it, I decided to get Mikey too.

*Zulithe* · 08-04-2012, 07:04 PM

Seeing a LOT of "fixed" classic dons lately. Guess mine will become a collector's edition

Yes, there is a whole thread that i started about those upcoming figures

rav4ge · 08-04-2012, 08:04 PM

Visited my local Toys R' Us today, the Metrotown Mall location in Vancouver (Canada). They had Leo's toy katana and the Shellraiser, but no figures in sight.

An idea of things to come, I guess. In any case, I'll be heading down to the US for PAX come September. I might just pick up the toys then, for cheaper too, I should add.

In any case, keep me posted on toy sightings, fellow Canadians!
