That was an unfinished proto. The final version has his pants.

thank goodness for that

Ok, I'm peeved.

Short version of the story:

After seeing on here that TrU and Target were the stores that had the 25th figures, I went out that day to both stores, and picked up the only figures they had; Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo. They had Splinter and April, but they weren't high on my priority list, so I didn't get them.

That was about 3 weeks ago. I've went back to both stores at least every other day since then, and they still just have the same stock that was there when I got mine.

They haven't stocked anymore in 3 weeks. Some people at both places told me that they get shipments when the stock of the toy line gets low, but it's been low since I bought the 3 figures, and still nothing.

Out of the ones that are out now, I really just want Michelangelo, Rocksteady, and Bebop. But I don't want to get them off eBay or online anywhere, because the prices are always inflated.

Any suggestions, other than keep checking the stores?

*Brodie* · 05-31-2009, 04:15 PM

Some comic shops will get them. Places like Newbury Comics, or stores like that. Newbury Comics is a New England chain, but there are deffinately stores like it.

They were restocking at first pretty regularly, but as sales have slowed they aren't restocking as quickly or often. That's usually the case with any line. Target is probably your best bet because if enough of them have sold they will in fact reorder some more. But it just depends how many are hanging on the shelf right now.

You can try Meijers if you have one. They have the 25th line as well.

If you don't have any luck I can look for you. They're pretty available here.

*DonatelloFan* · 05-31-2009, 04:57 PM

I would appreciate that, but with the shipping, I don't think it would be worth it. But thank you for the offer.

Maybe if I ask the people to order me a few, it would work, but I think the only thing they would say to me is "Well, you just need to keep checking, because we get shipments every few days."

And there is a Meijer's in Kentucky. I live 30 minutes south of Nashville, but I don't feel like driving all the way to Kentucky for 3 figures, about 3-4 hours, and they not even have them. Well, even IF they had them, I would be better off getting them off eBay or somewhere else online.

I think that's what I'm going to have to do. Thank you for the offer though.

Maybe they'll stock Shredder, the Foot Soldier, and Slash when they come out.

HissCommander · 05-31-2009, 09:42 PM

i havent been to my local Target in months, but last time i was their they didnt even have any TMNT.

My TRU seem tos keep the TMNT stuff well stocked. I have seen them go through multiple cases since the release. Lately, sale seem to have slowed down though.

Every time i go there, im tempted to buy doubles and triples of some of them. If they ever hit clearance i will pick up many many many multiples.

*DonatelloFan* · 05-31-2009, 09:44 PM

The way the Splinter and April's are selling, I'm sure they're going to be on clearance soon. That's the only way I'll buy them, though.

I bought my Splinter at full price and I woulda got April too, but those ugly eyes are making me wait for clearance.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-01-2009, 11:42 AM

well, by the time i ever get to my closest TrU the figures will be on clearance

*Ninjinister* · 06-02-2009, 05:08 PM

So this might not be the best topic to ask this, but I didn't feel like making a new one for it... has anybody seen the Ninja Action Turtle re-releases yet, other than on Mirage's website?

NightwatchersOnlygirl · 06-02-2009, 05:21 PM

When will the 25th annivsary figures come to the U.K?

*DonatelloFan* · 06-02-2009, 05:40 PM

I'm sure if I can't find it on my own, the info isn't available, but when is the 25th Turtle Van coming out? I know it's this month, but is there an actual release DATE? Thanks for any help.

Poe Ghostal · 06-07-2009, 08:57 AM

Whatever happened to Playmates' comic-based line? Is that still coming out?

I just asked Peter that question and he's going to ask Gary, I hope we get some sort of answer.

Newton Gimmick · 06-07-2009, 05:45 PM

Pretty sure they originally said like October didn't they? Fall of 09ish is what I remember. Which might make sense why all the old TMNT stuff seems to be on the way out. Relaunch of the line of sorts.

At least that's what I hope.

Lordmylar06 · 06-07-2009, 06:01 PM

I just really want to get a Party Wagon. I saw that it was going to be reissued as well. I think it'd be cool to have it again, since I lost my original.
