Why you Should not Buy into these 25th Turtles - Page 2

*VaughnMichael* · 02-04-2009, 07:14 AM

Playmates has told Mirage that if these re-release sell well that more will be re-released.
I'm not into these single releases but if the box set comes out that I was told about I'd be more than happy to buy such a thing.

I think a big part of the excitement is also seeing these guys on the pegs again.
It's like being a kid again, seeing your toy ine in similar packaging back on store shelves.

As for character selection. I assumed when I first hear out these guys, it be the 4 turtles and Shredder. Thats it.

But we're getting rereleases of Casey Jones, April, Bebop and Rocksteady
(Who weren't part of 2k3 or TMNT), Slash (A fan favorite), and Footsoldier

Yeah, small tatters to someone who collects the vintage line. But for me
I'm excited for the hunt of these. Going from Target to Target to find my
April. Ya know ?

Loose vintage stuff can be found at almost any garage sale or flea market. And ebay of course. Which is awesome. You never know what you'll find.
but there is a little thrill to knowing whats out there, and having to search.

My turtle collection is admittedly small (4 25turtles MOC, 25 Donatello loose,25 Mikey loose, TMNT Mikey loose, 2k3 Fugitoid loose, Toodler Turtle Don loose, and Neca Mikey loose), and this is an easy, fun way to continue my collection...

What would make this anniversary even cooler ? If Playmates took like 3 of the scetches Pete posted on his blog of characters that didn't make the original line, and make them to fit into the vintage line. That would be fun.

I think alot of the early sales have been from People hoping to make a dollar scalping on Ebay.

What suprises me the most is people buying these on Ebay.

I'm just like them cause I can still support the brand without having to buy toys i hate.

Absolutely. I mean, I'm all up for getting clean, unplayed with classic figures for display purposes, but I want to see them in a box set diorama or something. Of course, I still want to get Bebop and Rocksteady when they come out.

They are out, you just have to find them. As I've bemoaned many times already, I've not seen any 2009 releases in stores yet, but there's always eBay.... if you want to pay out the butt.
