And yeah... These ain't going to get wide release, any figure under the 1/4th scale have to be Con exclusives. That's the license rule.

Interesting, I'd likely just sit on it and not sell it if I got a second set. I thought I'd be happy just to get one then it leaves more to go around anyway. The thought did cross my mind when ordering tho. Would be over $300 CAD plus any import fees/tax. Getting these and the NECA 1990 movie figures will be very nice

Hopefully some of the other collectors over seas and such will be able to acquire a set...

Ha, I'm actually in the same boat! Only 45 minutes to the border. It was definitely worth semi-regular trips when the dollar was on par and US prices were still hugely cheaper. Still felt it was worth it this time -- no guarantees these will be released otherwise, and having that shipping option is very lucky. The exchange rate did make me wince, though...

I actually got April a couple of years ago for $20, so I'll almost have a complete set here. Missing the extra Mousers three-pack, but I'm happy with the ones that came with April. I'd kill for a Mirage Casey some day, but maybe I'll just enjoy this miracle in the moment.

I was too busy today to get in on the preorder. So I bought a ticket to NYCC instead

I've been thinking of going for the last few years. And I'll never get to go to SDCC since it is in the summer when I'm way too busy with work. So this seemed like a good opportunity. I wonder if these sets will fit in the overhead compartment of the plane on the way back?

*Roseangelo* · 09-08-2016, 08:27 PM

Grabbed these! But now I want the four Turtles in a matching box...

*oldmanwinters* · 09-08-2016, 08:52 PM

Every time I see this thread title, I think...
"Eastman and Laird aren't villains!"

Coma22 · 09-09-2016, 01:08 AM

Grabbed two sets have a friend who has the two mirage Neca four packs black and white and color keep trying to find something to read him for one and I think I just found it.

What would be the best neca bootleg (red) that I could get for cheap on eBay
Would love something to go w the neca mousers and now this set

Lil Karai · 09-09-2016, 09:23 AM

For those of you that don't have the NECA turtles, many folks on this board have bootlegs of these and have commented in various threads over the years about their quality. In my experience, the bootlegs I Bought were about $40 for the set I think and they are decent figures! Very detailed. Certainly far better than a Playmates figure.

Also check out this write up and more pics of the Villains set!

I missed the pre order due to work and am pretty devastated.

If anyone has an extra set to sell, please let me know. We've been waiting years for these, would hate to miss out.
Thanks

I have the black and white set still boxed, I have the colored ones but they are the bootlegs I think I'll have to track down a colored box set to go with these

how did you get three when it was limit 2 per customer?

TMNTooze · 09-09-2016, 12:43 PM

Wish I got one the presale. If anyone has one to sell please let me know. Those are too cool. Thanks

How are fans in Europe going to get this set?
I will probably have to go with eBay once they have been released, though I fear the prices.

There were some pre-orders up yesterday (on eBay) but all of those seem to be gone now!

Having someone else order for him

*DVD* · 09-09-2016, 08:16 PM

By hook or crook or buying a ticket to fly to NYC, I have to get this set.
Monitoring Taobao. Not too many viable options.
I still think in reality, that come the day of the fair , they will be around.

Danakin · 09-09-2016, 08:54 PM

I'm really glad so many were able to pre-order this set yesterday. Making it so widely available should help keep scalper prices down for those who missed out. I hope NECA plans to continue this type of system with future pre-orders.

Yeah, this was very well done especially compared to the process with other big ticket items and exclusives.

eBay and Aliexpress, we have to hope that it will be the same as happened with the SDCC set
