They come off the shelves so fast at my target and tru.

I found Raph, Mike, and Don at Walmart today. I didn't buy them though. They don't look that great IMO.

The all come with their normal weapons and a junkyard version of their weapon. All in all, they are pretty cool. I'll try to put a full review up tomorrow.

I found Armorized Shredder at a Wal-Mart here in Milwaukee. I went there the night before I found him and saw a box that said Playmates in the isle. They were putting the new shipment out that night. I went when it opened the next morning and there they were. Perfectly hung, until I scavenged through them to find but one, single, lonely, Armorized Shredder. I picked that one up, along with Elite Foot Soldier, and Foot Gunner. I left Shredder unopened. That might assist you if you think they're going to be htf.

I love the new Fighting Gear armor turtles. Great skulpts on the Fighting gear. A new head molds. And I think the new articulation is great.

Armorized Shredder- The Black and Silver looks great.But he does not come with any weapons. As many accessories as the Fighting gear turtles came with including 2 sets of there weapons I would figure they could have at least threw in Shredders sword.

Foot Elite & Gunner - Not as much time and attention was taken into the skulpts of these figures. They are not as detailed as other figures from this line. Looks like they had very limited time to skulpt them in time to release them with the video game.

I would also like them to start blackwashing the figures again. I thought this made the figures look more detailed.

I just found fightin' gear leo at my local walmart here in the flood city of Johnstown. He was way in the back, I almost left without him. Anyways, yes the TMNT figures are flying off the shelves here (PA) as well. I'm glad the turtles are back.

I went to my wal-mart today and found Armor Shred, Elite Foot and Foot Gunner. It made my day!

I LOVE the new Shredder. I hated how he was blue instead of gray and the new one fixes it. My only complaint is his over sized head, oh well.

The new Elite Foot is... interesting. Yeah, the hat falls off and he lacks articulation but I like him a lot more than the TNM one in terms of looks but that one had such better movement, even thought his hands are in the weirdest positions. His weapons are cool too!

The Foot Gunner doesn't seem very ninjaturtley. He seems a lot bigger than the one in the videogame and where's his flamethrower? Oh well, I still wish they would bend at the knees and all have ball jointed arms and legs.

Guys, I JUST came back from Wal-mart (in Illinois) and I got the new Armorized Shredder. But they also had ALL the armorized Turtles, Foot Gunner, and Elite Guard.

Man, I wish I could find those armorized turtles! I haven't seen them anywhere... Though, the last time I was at a store, all they had from the TMNT section were two Huns a Foot Tech and a Foot Gunner... they're flying off the shelves here. So, that's good news. I should at least be happy they're doing so well.

Agreed. The new Armor Turtles are by far the best figures out so far. I personally do like the Next Mutation Elite better than the new one but that's just me.

They have these at Target as well, I suppose... I haven't had money to go toy shopping in weeks...

I am seriously behind in getting TMNT stuff... I picked up Casey several weeks ago... that's it.

I didn't see the Armored Turtles then, but I did see removable helmet Shredder (My entire life I dreamed of such a toy) but I had my heart set on Casey that day, so I got him instead.

I swear, what i really really am excited about is the next wave with the Utroms and the Triceritons.... now those are going to rock!
