I agree, but it's way better than $150. Anyway, I see most of the figures are up on AliExpress. I have never bought directly from that site but I am strongly considering to do so. Have you ordered anything from there before?

Not myself, but was tempted. Some sellers come and go, but 'Big Player Store' seems to stick around. If you don't mind slightly damaged boxes, give it a go.

Never found much in person at Target.

So is Rex-1, Mona Lisa 2 Pack, Zog and Jagwar going up this Friday?

I think they are dropping more every Friday in March.

It's great if you are not an in-box collector. I've had a few orders there, some with pristine boxes and others that look like origami (e.g. SOTO Shredder). No issues so far. Make sure the seller looks legit or that it is a link that is referred by someone else (in the forums or YouTube), just to be on the safe side.

[DonnieLaForge]

Hit up 2 Targets in Arizona that were close by on my trip so far. One had the Mighty Hog pack, plus Jersey, Mona, and Ray. The other had Dopey/Dumbo. Grabbed the latter to complete my thugs.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Still need to grab that Jersey Red/Grunt 2 pack but I probably might look into getting Grunt loose if I can find him on the aftermarket by chance.

[Last Ronin]

Only thing I want is those damn baby turtles and those packs are hard as hell to find. The others are shelf warming so not in a hurry to pick up those but damn that accessory pack is alluding me like it owes me money.

[RaphaelinSTL]

So with Blainer responding to someone on Twitter that Haulathon "hasn't even started yet" and someone on a Facebook group I'm in showcasing that more NECA Turtle stuff has been showing up in Target's inventory, looks like we got more on the horizon.

If I had to guess, I'm assuming it'll be a Mirage TMNT 4-pack, Mirage Splinter, Last Ronin versions of Raph, Leo, and Don ... and then potentially Space Usagi/Don and then that Bugman/additional character?

put money on Electro-zapper with bugman

[jestergoblin]

I wonder if Napoleon Colossus will be $55 given the price tag of REX-1.

Very likely considering that they are antagonists. Pretty sure, a non-mutated Bugman (e.g. Brick Bradley) head sculpt will be included with the next toon accessory pack. Maybe, they will get creative and also include the body for the pandimensional spacecraft computer.

They need to start packing these smaller characters in (e.g. Ogg, Hokum Hare, Shredder's mom) with some of the larger figures. Less accessories, more buddy characters!

I hope not. They need to space these out to give our wallets a break.

I am considering order from AliExpress, but since international shipping is down to $45 now I might actually pounce on the Haulathon site since I am looking to buy all of the sets and not just one. Since the $45 shipping price tag seems to be constant no matter the amount of items you have in your cart I feel it's a pretty decent deal if you stock up items in the same order. Will wait until friday for the next drop to see if I'll actually pounce, but I also feel that if I don't buy them now when I have the chance I'll just have to overpay later.

Yeah, if you're ordering quite a bit. That totally makes sense.

From what I've heard, customer service from Ali is excellent - like eBay in that way.

[Dask]

It looks like all the items for Haulathon on Target online has sold out, even the relatively less in demand comic book figures.

[HotJuicyBurgers]

That picture with like 7 more tags for TMNT stuff on haulathon kind of terrifying. People are guessing the 150 dollar one is turtle 4 pack which... i'd be lying if I didn't say I was hyped about.

I could've sworn I saw a picture online somewhere of a 4 pack with them showing the various shades of the turtles like the original playmate figures. don't remember where though.

Yeah, I've been loving all of the news and releases and everything It's been fun, personally!

Honestly, the big one for me for this year (outside of Haulathon) is when they eventually reveal the TMNT Movie 3 4-pack which I'm hoping will be another open pre-order situation like last year's SOTO 4-pack.
