So what is worse... being told they are there only to find out it was a mistake... or to KNOW they are there and be told you can't buy them... argh!!!

So I understand how frustrating it can be!
Man.. That is awful.

I plan on going on a run for these as soon as I have the cash to do so.

I have my plan in place now.
My boss s heading to the States next month on holiday, so... I mentioned that he could do me a small favor, or three!! His first reply was.. "Turtles"?
He got me the Turtle van DVD set when he was in Canada over Christmas so I'm sure he doesn't really mind.

Man this blows not only did I not find the two I really want, but with only one of both Snakeweed and Baxter per box, how am I supposed to get two to customize him if I can't even get one yet? I knew something like this was gonna happen and now it's going to be more aggravating than I thought it was going to be.

I wonder how many boxes each store gets in. Maybe if your store gets two cases you could have them get you another?

Thank you for your logical input. I don't even need the second one immediately as long as I can even get one of him since he's that hard to find. I don't mind if I don't get the second one immediately after all I've been seeing a lot of Fishfaces lately and he's just one per box so sooner or later Snakeweed should be no different.

Well, Snakeweed seems to have been getting the most praise this wave, so maybe if he sells well they might decide to put more of him in future shipments. Good luck!

Everyone freaking out about not finding them yet needs to just sit back and relax. This isn't a collectors line, so they are being mass produced and will be available in stores. They will also be warming the pegs after a few months. So please stop freaking out, don't buy from ebay. You will get them, don't you worry.

yeah paying $71.01 for Leatherhead and Snakeweed is ridiculous. Some just have no delay of gratification.

As much as I want him, I'm not going to pay for one Leatherhead at the price I could get three at.

So I went back some pages and saw someone talking about seeing a wasp toy listing, and in the TMNT Nickelodeon card thread, there was a card labelled Mutant Wasp, which could be the same as this.

As suspected I noticed on amazon's top 100 selling action figures, fishface is back in the top 100! currently sitting at #68 -- not bad!

i keep an eye on that list to watch for new releases and stuff (mostly non-tmnt, though tmnt are consistently on the list) -- i haven't seen fishface break the top 100 very often

clearly the last episode helped develop him and make his figure a bit more desirable

hopefully this means they'll start flying off shelves too because i've seen dogpound pegwarming A LOT. fishface pegwarms less but he doesn't seem to sell as well as some other figures. maybe that will change

That wasp looked pretty generic. I wonder why they are even making him? Unless he was a toy first.

While I was at dimmer in New York, I saw a little kid playing with a fish face.

I hope I am able to find them while people are still paying $20 to $30 for them on eBay.
