Too bad you won't be the first since they've already been found by others.

Well, just checked the online stores over here again, and nothing.
I checked eBay, nothing. That was a surprise.
I did find the two Flingers I needed !! About 4 times the price after postage, so I'll keep looking.

I didn't want to waste a trip to TRU, so I decided to call them. The guy I talked to seemed to know what I was talking about, and gladly went in the aisle to look for me. He came back to the phone and told me that they were pretty wiped out, and the only figure there was Leonardo. Hopefully my Walmart has them, but I doubt it. -____-

I checked 5 Walmarts, 3 Targets and 2 Kmarts in Central KY today and nothing so far. In fact almost all the stores were wiped out of almost all figures and vehicles. Of course that is a good thing as hopefully when they restock they will have the new figures! All 3 of the targets had end caps set up for the turtles so that may be a good sign that figures may be on the way as well.

Your obsession with the Leatherhead figure is hilarious lol. Makes me want to go toy hunting with you.

I went to Toys "R" Us in Staten Island and they had just restocked the figures before I came in. They had the fours turtles, 1 Dogpound and 1 Foot Solider but that was it. No Leatherhead, Baxter or Snakeweed.

A question for folks who are buying (whatever they can) of the basic figures and keeping them MOC. Are you having trouble finding figures where the card isn't damaged, dented, or messed up ? Both Dogpound and Foot Solder's card (I bought them, considering they very hard to find where I am) had dents and bents on them. Will they still be worth money if the card is not totally destroyed ?

Makes me think it's better off by Leatherhead, Baxter and Snakeweed, Rocksteady and Bebop online considering these figures fly off the shelves quickly.

Most of the figures I have bought have pretty nice cards and I don't recall seeing too many damaged cards while I have been out hunting. The worst I have seen was a couple of foot ninjas that part of the bubble was coming loose. It looks like something heavy had been set on top of them. I bought them anyways as I am going to open them. I would imagine some of the damaged cards maybe where kids are picking up the figures and carrying them around until their parents tell them no they can't have it. I actually found a Kraang last week in the cookie aisle at Walmart!

All of my figures have perfect cards except my Mikey Flinger which was crushed into a suitcase !
I ordered on line, fishface, dog pound, and metal head all new. I got them uncared, as the seller said he did me a favor and saved my postage.

At least he was looking out for my interests

I live on the east coast, and I'm pretty sure I was the first person here to find the T-Phone.

No luck hunting today. I did find a Kraang so I guess that's good. No Leatherhead, Snakeweed or Baxter.

Appears that Target is stocking the new figures earlier than Wal-Mart and TRU FWIW.

Which is strange, since in the past TRU always seemed to get things in first. Target will now be my primary stakeout point.

Checked Toysrus and Target in Sterling VA and no luck. I'll go out early this whole week and report my findings. Wish me luck everyone and I noticed today at the Target that there were only Mutagen Ooze turtles. This could mean the next shipment of figures could be what I'm hoping it would be.

Best of all I should be able to check all the places I can go to which are Toysrus in Rockville and Gaithersburg, Target and Walmart in Germantown and another Target in Rockville. With all those locations, surely I should run into them somewhere throughout the week.

Am I the only one who misses getting accessories with the figures? I can understand Snakeweed and Baxter not getting any, but Leatherhead should have came with something, and by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like the future figures (Rat King, Cockroach) come with any either
