Walmart is slow on getting stuff. On most of the items I dont mind spending a few extra dollars at TRU. Some of it is too overpriced but some is still worth it.

Me too, but sometimes when I find something there, I'll think "What if it I can't find it at Wal-Mart or Target?" and I end up buying it lol but seriously, they are expensive, especially online with the shipping and whatnot.

How the hell does TRU get away with this... geeze.

Don't even get me started on the markup they have on the Sewer Playset which is supposed to be $99... they are charging $149.99
I thought it was supposed to be $120

Nope, $99. Look here at target.com

$120 is TRU's old price, but they increased it. Everyone thinks the price is supposed to be $120 but that's only because it's really hard to find outside of TRU (maybe currently impossible?) but if other stores get it in stock it will be $99.

I wish Target would get more in stock >.>

Loving how they look, I just noticed they have Metalhead at Walmart in my area, it teases me so. I don't have the money to be spending on the action figures but I hope to have some saved up soon.

Same here! Usually the only time I'll buy stuff from TRU is if I have rewards dollars or if it is a rare item. My wal mart finally restocked and they had the ooze turtles last I was in. I think I am going to pick them up for my MOC collection.

I'm sure that it was said in another thread but I was under the impression that the lair was a TRU exclusive. Guess not! haha I finally put my lair together last night. I love it! My desk is big enough to put it on top of it and even had room to put the shellraiser, the dragon chopper and the raph/mike buggies. I have no clue where I'm going to put the anchovy alley? I do want to pick it up along with the turtle comm and the don/leo buggies though.

For those who have seen the buggies at wal mart, what are they charging? Hopefully cheaper than $19.99 cause that's what I paid at TRU.

I am loving the Ooze! The canisters may not be as large as the ones in the movies, but these seem a perfect size for role play items.

Also, as watery as the Ooze may seem to some people, it's still not watery enough to easily flow into Mutagen Man (But 30 minutes a small funnel and a straw work well enough )

Geez. Now we need an updated Mutagen Man. Ya hear that Playmates!? THIS is a figure that screams 'Ooze'.

In other things, I found the two new smaller vehicles on Wednesday at my TRU. The Sewer Cruiser is infinitely the better vehicle as it reminds me a lot of vintage TMNT vehicles.

Today I went back and found both sets of the buggies and bought them. I like them. I wish Raph and Leo's buggies connected in some way as they're just attached to Mike and Don's in the rear, but otherwise they're still cool new vehicles.

Now if we could get some more bad guy vehciles. I mean we've only got the Shredder's Dragon Bike and the upcoming Kraang hover thing. How about a new Footcruiser or something... If this new show has it's own Technodrome...

when the earth dries up and civilization is lost.. Aliens will find traces of water in excavated Mutagen man toys.. Proof that there was once life on Earth.
