It looks like the prices have already dropped. They were $300 or higher but now some are as low as $220.

Even at $220 they are still high. Scalpers are greedy bastards. Hopefully word gets out so all the scalpers get stuck with the sets.

The good thing in this is that more turtles means more chance to get the figs. So I'll keep an eye on eBay next year, and also on UK/US retailers. Sometimes they do have GameStop stuff.

I'm curious, why can't you do that?

FYI for people looking for the diorama: Randy said it will eventually be sold at retail ( tho he hinted that it will be re-used for multiple lines/styles). Hopefully this foot version will make its way to retail.

So the movie turtles will be GS exclusives? Do we have any idea what will show up at Targer? I hope the VG turtles make it.

Mostly regular things will show up at Target ie NECA's horror lines

Also regarding retail vg turtles Randy said on twitter lets wait and see how the hensons do first.

What the ****! These sold out again? Ridiculous.

"Some guy on the fwoosh" is hardly what I would call an official source

It's no longer conjecture or a rumor...it's the real deal.

I just checked the site they all still say add to cart.

*Redrumh2o* · 08-27-2018, 09:15 PM

You can add to cart, but once you check out says no longer available

Yep, that's what I saw when I tried to check out. Looks like the scalpers strike again.

oh ok usually it would just say out of stock instead of add to cart

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 08-28-2018, 12:57 AM

Any news if these are going to get a release in the UK?

Randy said "NO" on Twitter...but license and distribution could be taken on by someone potentially...

Fingers crosses, because I don't think after import that the prices will be great for us. The only hope is that the prices are SO high on ebay, if they are more widely available. Plus I own the 1/4 scale, so I don't want to pay lot more than they are actually worth.

bwwd · 08-28-2018, 02:10 AM

I think its too big of a hassle for them to take on non US market and they only want to deal with US clients , people complaining from europe and sending stuff back... its too much of a risk, they dont have any warehouses in europe so its not that easy, someone would have to buy the license in europe and have warhouses to store and distribute the figures.
Gamestop signed a deal with them so more can be made in china a bit cheaper this time.
NECA is not a big company.Maybe some smart guy with some $$$ would try to buy the license in UK, NECA would order much more from china.
By the way i fixed my raph figure, he can do splits now and i alligned then glued shell back.Would be great to have different set of heads for them as accessory, maybe asking NECA about this would make them think.On the other hand, creating metal molds for china factory just for accessories... Maybe they could come with next set of 7 inch foot,shredder,casey and splinter.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 08-28-2018, 05:23 AM

I hope your wrong, i just want a set with out feeling like I lined some greedy bastardo pockets.

DonnieLaForge · 08-28-2018, 06:01 AM

UK folks, have a visit over to ReShip.com. I use it to import from Canada all the time and they support US to UK and vice versa as well.

rh608 · 08-28-2018, 07:29 AM

Sorry guys . . . I saw the news yesterday . . . I'll never make an argument on behalf of NECA again! They straight up lied and badly considering that this Game Stop Exclusive info was leaked a few months back. SMH. Oh well . . .

But it's good that this is happening and everyone who wasn't able to get the SDCC Exclusive now have this option. I just hope that NECA gets a grip on quality before these GS figures are issued.
