Nick TMNT Toys on "Hot Toy" Holiday 2012 Lists - Page 2

*Slade* · 09-22-2012, 09:47 AM

I figured TMNT would be a hot seller for the holidays.

As far as Furby, I never had one, but the wife bought the little one a new one.
I hate the thing already.

Furbys Creep Me Out.....lol

plasticturtle · 09-22-2012, 11:05 AM

Furbys creep a lot of people out. So does Teddy Ruxpin and pretty much any animatronic toy. It may be an Uncanny Valley kind of thing. I love things like that myself but I can see why they'd be creepy to some.

Once the new cartoon starts airing on Nick next weekend, I think we are really going to see the figures start flying off the shelves...

*Zulithe* · 09-23-2012, 01:09 AM

Yup. if you want any of the figures, buy them now because it's going to get harder soon. Stock should stay plentiful but it's hard to say! This is the biggest toy push I have seen in many years.

I thought furbys were a thing of the past,specially after seeing the "new" toy robot called "Figit" at Toys R us. It pretty much does the same annoying things, but I have to say, I did buy a Furby long ago when they first came out.

plasticturtle · 09-23-2012, 02:49 PM

Fijits are similar to Furby in some ways, but programming wise they aren't nearly as complex. Furby is basically a pet simulation. You have to feed and care for them or they become ill. They also have their own language and they "learn" english over time. Fijits basically make noise, dance and respond to a few limited verbal commands. I kind of want one, but with the new Furby and turtles out now that's probably where I'll be spending my money for the forseeable future. By the time I'm done collecting those two Fijits will probably be a thing of the past.

I'm glad I got all the Nick Turtles before the new show starts. I have a feeling they'll be hard to find once the show starts up and kids start becoming familiar with the characters.

They Already Are Selling Out! Imagine How It Will Be When The Holidays Roll Around!

plasticturtle · 09-23-2012, 03:04 PM

It's going to get crazy once the Holiday shopping season hits. Like I said I'm glad I already got my Turtles.

Yeah, I Got The Set Of Figures Too, Even The "Non-Turtle" Figures (April, Splinter etc). All I Need Now Is The Vehicles and the lair

plasticturtle · 09-23-2012, 03:10 PM

All I really wanted was the Turtles. I'm still on the fence about Splinter but I may pick him up when I go to Toys R Us Friday.

It Took Me A While To Get Used To His Face, But Once You Get Past That He's A good Figure!

plasticturtle · 09-23-2012, 03:26 PM

Cool. I'll definately try to get him then.

TRU has 20% off $150 online, but the lair doesn't seem to be part of it. I guess they aren't discounting it at this time since it is a hot toy.

Redemption · 09-24-2012, 08:15 PM

Its hard to find the new nick TMNT's that do not have damaged cards. Some are really beat up. Also a lot of the figures have red paint on the their arms where its green. So you kind of got to find an in between on them. Almost impossible to find them gem mint.

I have found 2 full sets of turtles that are in pretty top shape since I collect MOC. I am going to TRU tomorrow so I may buy some more.

Tell me about it. I was trying to buy it earlier. I am determined to get a discount! But it is not part of the promotion.

I'm thinking about buying some Hobbit movie figures using this promotion, though

sykosis · 09-25-2012, 04:34 AM

if we are referring to the new basic toys based on the new tv show, I have all four turtles and I love them. They do have paint on them and my Leo's bandana had paint already chipping fresh out the package, quite unfortunate, but they're still badass. I love how they made them different heights, too.

I plan on getting shredder, a foot soldier and a kraang as well, eventually. Need to spend wisely nowadays.
