Nah, the best bet is to set the in-stock alert on your phone. That's how I've successfully bought probably half of the line.

Does the in stock actually work on time? I know Walmart’s definitely does not. I will heed your advice for the frogs. I always have them saved in the app. It feels like there isn’t an in-stock alert button half the time.

Yes, Target's alerts through the app have always been spot-on for me (which isn't to say they can't break it at any time). And yeah, I don't know why the alert option is gone sometimes. It almost never shows up in the browser, and sometimes doesn't appear in the app either (for example, the prototype retro Boba Fett that dropped yesterday does not have the alert).

Anyway, good luck! I've only missed Target drops once and that's because I was out walking my dog and didn't see the alert.

Boba was gone in seconds. Lol. I’m caught up too. The disguise pack is the first time I’ve had trouble finding something. Good luck to you too. I’ll try to get two of frogs and help someone out here, if it lets us.

Do we know if the frogs went live already?

Just a friendly reminder if you are like me and usually miss the 2 second window on these you have to reset the notification to get further alerts.

Found three 2-packs of Frogs today at a far Northwest suburb Target. There was nothing else there, just the frogs.

They were spotted in Smyrna yesterday. I think someone spotted them in Murfreesboro like a week ago too. So they're in TN, but my Target (Spring Hill) has been empty. Hoping the app alert works out for me this time.

I can verify they haven't been found in Cool Springs, and my target is Spring Hill as well. Went to Smyrna and M'boro Tues and they didn't have them.

Just got a FedEx shipping confirmation on a NECA pak, which I'm assuming is the Slash/Leatherhead 2-pak from last year's pre-order.

That's insane that it took that long! I ordered Tokka and Rahzar the literal second they went up and I feel like I got mine much quicker than some on here. I ordered Antrax and Scumbug and Ace and MM a day or so after they went up and I'm curious if that means I'll have to wait longer after they ship or not. I don't know if it's random or if they ship based on kinda the order in which they were ordered.

I think it's pretty random. At least it was with T&R. I ordered mine the minute they went up and got them well after a ton of other people on here did. But still before some others.

Are the turtles in disguise shipments still coming, does anyone know? My Target NEVER got a single one in and there are probably 5 plus people checking every day just at my target if they have come in stock. So dumb times infinity.

I've been calling 5 stores daily searching for a second Rasputin/Genghis set which I finally snagged today. It sounded like most people were searching for the Disguised 4 Pack but the NECA rep told the employee at one store that the restocks for that would be delayed a few more weeks. Whether there's any truth to that is yet to be seen. But for now, I can stop calling until Mondo shows up.

(BTW, to anyone local, the Junction Rd store had a case of 6 Frog sets plus six of the Zarax and Zork set.)

Does anyone know what the purple device is that is included with Neca’s Scumbug and the gun that comes with Mutagen Man? I’ve been searching through the cartoon, but I haven’t found them yet. I tried skimming through their episode appearances, but I didn’t see them. Thank you!

NECA posted some new Mondo photos today:

Also, I always hear this commercial when I say/hear/think the name "Mondo":

Most folks seem to agree that the orange gun in the Mutagen Man pak is the one Baxter used in "Revenge of the Fly" (Season 7), which he stole from a firefighter and filled with Mutagen Ooze.

It's referred to as the "Super Slosher 2000."

Thank you so much! That definitely looks just like it! You just saved me a lot of time haha. Now I just have to figure out that purple thing with Scumbug.

Yeah, I'm stumped on that one... it looks more like a locator device than a traditional ray gun. A number of things came to my mind: Baxter's remote control from "Attack of the Killer Pizzas," Donatello's time-stopper from "Donatello Makes Time," the disintegrator device used by the bad guys in "Night of the Rogues," Shredder's Gravity-Altering Device in "Sky Turtles," and the various tracking/control devices seen in Season 2, but none of them match up:
