Hun and foot tech ninja? They're rare, but not worth 20 bucks a pop.

What part of Mass. are you from? I can ALWAYS find at least 3 Huns per store. Now the Armorized Shredder... I had it in my hands one day (no money to buy it) and I never saw it again! I'm gonna have to break down and get Mutation Shredder instead...

I'm from the northshore area. I live in Marblehead, it's near Salem, Lynn Swampscott, etc. I do most of my TMNT shopping in the Danvers area.

Yeah... near Boston, Cambridge, Sommerville... places like that, especially Target, the Huns just don't wanna be sold... I may just buy one out of pitty, even though i never cared Much for Hun.

I can't even find a foot tech on ebay. I only saw like 2 here in Milwaukee, I bought one and opened it, thinking I would find plenty more. Boy was I wrong. I did see 3 Armorized Shredders in the past 2 days though.

Rare? i have seen only one foot soldier since like november, and hun has dissapered as well, none of the new toys have shown up in my home town yet either, ive only seen the foot tech once as well

Chewie · 03-19-2004, 10:11 PM

Just come to Germany and see how rare they are right now in here .....

What figures were they? If they are the newest wave then they can be hard to find for awhile. If they are from the first couple of waves, he's crazy. I think wave 1 SHredder has been the rarest figure so far.

I saw a buttload of Shredders at my Wal-mart. The only toys I seem to find are rare are the foot gunner which I have yet to see one of any where and the elite foot ninja. I wanted to buy 4 but I have trouble finding one at any store

*Wes* · 03-20-2004, 12:44 AM

Yeah, it seems like the gunners are getting pretty rare. I used to see them all the time, but now my guess is that since the other Foot Soldiers have become pretty scarce, people have been buying them in order to have someone to fight on Shredder's side. I was going to get one myself for that reason, but then I couldn't find one. Ah well, hopefully they'll bring more Foot Soldiers out someday so Shredder's not so alone on the battlefield.

jestergoblin · 03-20-2004, 09:10 AM

it took me about two months to get 4 elite foots, I was at the point of going to stores twice a week to get them.

I haven't seen a Foot Tech, a Foot Gunner or a Foot Ninja in a long time around here.

TheRATKING · 03-21-2004, 04:21 PM

i found the foot gunner, turtle toddlers and turtle titan at toysrus today.
i read somewhere that figures like the fire foot mystic and turtle toddlers only ship one per case. wouldnt that make them by default hard to find or rare. if this is true does anyone know what other figures were shipped this way ?

Splinter · 03-21-2004, 06:47 PM

Nope, the Toddlers and Mikey are 3 per case. The Foot Mystic and Turtlebot are 1 per case. But they'll continue to ship for some time. There is a rumor that the current Mikey/Toddler/Mystic/Turtlebot case also includes 5 Basic Foot Soldiers. But I haven't been able to confirm this yet.

*Wes* · 03-21-2004, 07:14 PM

Thanks for the info, Splinter... I sure hope you're right about the Foot Soldiers, because I need one!

jestergoblin · 03-21-2004, 08:19 PM

I need at LEAST 3 more!!!

Meeko · 03-21-2004, 08:24 PM

i have never Seen a amorized shredder Yet

TheRATKING · 03-21-2004, 08:58 PM

i saw a amorized shredder the other day but didnt get it then someone told me they were haveing trouble locating one so i figured id pick it up for them but when i went back it was gone. wish i had got it when i had the chance

*Wes* · 03-21-2004, 09:00 PM

Yeah, Armored Shredders are rare...I can't remember if I saw a third one somewhere, but I bought the two I can remember seeing. I'm holding onto one, since I suspect there will come a day when someone with a Foot Tech Ninja will ONLY trade it for an Armorized Shredder.

I don't know about 5, but there's at least one regular Foot Soldier in that case, because when I found the Mystic,Turtlebot, and Turtle Titan, I also saw a Foot Soldier for the first time in months. I would've bought him(since I only bought one the first time), but to me new figures take priority over army builders.

I had one in my hand... but no money. I guess I'm gonna have to spend the extra 4 bucks and get "Mutating" Shredder for an Oroku Saki figure.

*Spitfire* · 03-23-2004, 09:48 PM

YAYNESS I got the Foot Gunner Ninja today! Wow such luck I have! I was ion Wal-greens of all places and I saw they had a few turtles toys in the toy section. I always look and today was just my day. I moved Casey Jones outa the way and some weird looking Don and I saw buried behind them a Foot Gunner Ninja, I was all like "YAY" So yeah I paid a little more for it then I usually do for toys but hes a rare one so I didnt mind.

Ive looked all over everywhere to find one of these its almost sad I found one at a Wal-greens. Oh well

Starscream · 03-25-2004, 01:23 PM

I went out today and I think I pretty much saw every figure that's been out of the old waves except Hun, Foot Tech, and the regular foot solider. I saw one armorized shredder adn two foot gunners so they seem to still be shipping. If you're looking for Foot Tech and regular foot soliders you might want to check stores like Fred's and drugstore type places beacuse usually they don't sell that much stuff and old product lingers.

Out of the new ones it looks like Turtlebot and the Toddler Turtles are packed less then the other two since I didn't see those two at all but saw at least two of FFMystic and TT.

Splinter · 03-25-2004, 01:47 PM

Nope, the Toddler's are 3 per case. They're just more popular then the other figures in the wave. As far as I know it's Mikey: 3, Toddlers: 3, Fire Foot Mystic: 1, Turtlebots: 1.
