swat turtles - Page 3

TMNTGal · 08-12-2004, 09:03 PM

I must have that! The armor is clever. Leo's helmet, Don's chest armor, Mike's arm armor and Raph's leg armor. They do look SWAT. They even turned the Shell Sub into a helicopter! Hah that is so awesome.

Damn, my area is seriously slowing down on getting' new items. I haven't found anything at all.

JaffleMan · 08-13-2004, 01:13 AM

These had better not be the exclusive repaint you yanks are getting. Otherwise I'm going to be spewing (I don't even want to imagine what postage is going to cost for those).

Anyway, best vehicle retooling EVER!!

O.K, now Playmates needs to retool the Turtle Tracker into a Purple dragon Hummer (black and purple decko) and include a couple of figures and they'll my number 1 toy company ever.

Up until now I was just writing this set off as pointless repaints... but now I must have it. I don't have the Battle Shell or Shell Sub anyway, so they'll be new, and you can always use more Mousers, especially repainted ones, to add more variety to the army. The Turtles I don't really need, but then they don't really bother me much either.

That set is absolutely brilliant, repaints, but ones which are actually worth buying.

*Spitfire* · 08-13-2004, 03:43 AM

Ohhhhhh I want the Swat helicopter

FALLEN ELDOR · 08-13-2004, 04:17 AM

Damn that's cool! and the colors are great. I wish Mattel was as inventive as this with redeco MOTU stuff. I really like how they have the shell sub turned into an assault chopper with bits from the pogocopter and foot gunner

I'd buy it if it wasn't fifty bucks

Drop the figures and I could see spending $35, but not $50!

*tmntman* · 08-13-2004, 06:19 AM

I found the set at TRU in Madison WI yesterday. $50 is a big chunk of change for this, but I ended up buying it anyways.

avervisal · 08-13-2004, 06:57 AM

finally! someone else spotted them!

jestergoblin · 08-13-2004, 07:13 AM

wow. I wonder if it comes with a weapons rack...

Also, I noticed on the back it says "check out these other" after that do they just show old stuff or possibly another swat set?

If I wasn't on so much condine I'd head out to TRU right now!

avervisal · 08-13-2004, 07:22 AM

the other stuff were just the old vehicles, nothing special. i e-mailed playmates asking whether we'd be seeing another swat set including michaelangelo and raphael, because it'd be a shame if they were left out.

OA · 08-13-2004, 09:23 AM

Man that is so freaking awesome!!! That is so completely worth $50 considering all the stuff you get. Yea Im wondering if there are going to come out with 2 versions each with different 2 turtle combos. But anyways, as soon as this hurrican Charley gets outa here, im heading over TRU!!!

TMNTGal · 08-13-2004, 09:29 AM

I hope they make a Raph & Mike SWAT set. They could include repaints of the Turtle Tracker & a Shell Cycle.

JaffleMan · 08-13-2004, 05:09 PM

For those outide the states, Playmates responded with the news that they will be TRU exclusive for international release. So these aren't the US exclusive repaints either.

::looks at pictures:: Oooo...not bad, not bad. Well, for me to buy this wouldn't really be a 100% complete waste for me to buy it as:

1) I don't have the Battle Shell.
2) I don't have that helicopter/submarine vehicle.
3) I don't have the battle-armored versions of either of those 2 turtles figures.

Still, as I don't have lots of room I might not get it & just buy mousers 6-packs like crazy.

**Jester** · 08-13-2004, 08:17 PM

Jester must have!!!!
I so want this...since i have no vehicles...except the battle bike raphie and i'd love 6 more mousers....and donny and leo in armor...heck i could use that too even though i have the wave 1 tmnt....

jestergoblin · 08-13-2004, 10:27 PM

if tomorrow wasn't my mom's birthday, I would so make a TRU run...

I think I'll be making a TMNT run next week.

FALLEN ELDOR · 08-14-2004, 02:21 AM

I can't find this damn set in southern California. I have been to five or six different toys R us

Can somebody post some pics of this thing loose?

splinter zombie · 08-14-2004, 11:54 PM

they have a whole bunch of these that just came in at my ToysRUS this week! Kinda of expensive. Maybe I will buy when they go on sale. Still can't find any Triceratons though

avervisal · 08-15-2004, 09:08 AM

I don't think they'll go on sale anytime soon. If the Turtles' Lair is still at $50, why would this one drop any? But hey with the way things are going with TRU, you never know.

avervisal · 08-16-2004, 10:42 AM

Has anyone gotten this set yet and opened it? If so, let's see some pics!
