These look amazing, I have Leo pre-ordered, considering Mike too...

*Shark_Blade* · 04-11-2015, 09:05 PM

I looked around the website and there's really like no past models available for purchase. Once they're up for sale and sold out, they're gone forever. I guess that's the norm for hot toys and the like..

*tmntman* · 04-11-2015, 10:50 PM

Given the lead time, they probably set the production number largely based on the number of preorders and retailer orders that they receive. For a small company like this, holding on to a bunch of unsold figures is just too much overhead to manage without going out of business.

*Shark_Blade* · 04-11-2015, 11:06 PM

^Ah, that's probably how they do it I reckon. Q3 is pretty far away and that gives them enough time to produce and deliver the figures.

There are many good stores/websites that cater to the 1/6 market, so account for many of them having solid blocks of inventory on these figures. If they sell crazy good, rest assured reissues may be on the horizon too.

But if you really want them, order them now while pre orders are open...nothing worse than waiting too long and then ending up at the mercy of scalpers.

Reissues rarely happen because the company making these toys usually have a limited licensing time. Which usually means they have to release the figures within the year or so.

See a few Hot Toys re releases...can't confirm ThreeZero though.

TBH I don't think these TMNT figures are going to sell through that fast.

Yeah. Compared to Hot Toys, Threezero haven't had a super popular license and their pre-order period is long enough for anyone that wants one has a chance to place an order.

Still, even with Hot Toys I don't think they had ever really reissued any figures. They do make second versions based on demand. The only reissue I am aware of the their Bank Robber Joker from The Dark Knight.

There's the Bank Robber Joker for sure...Avengers Hulk also come to mind (was re released with the Bruce Banner figure in a 2 pack). There are more, just don't really have the time to go do the homework.

i wont lie if three zero didnt require full payment upfront i wouldve seriously considered it...but i have bills and these being bay turtles i can easily pass

If you guys don't want to pay full price initially, SideshowCollectibles has these for sale as well and they allow flex payment. Plus, after these have been on the market for a while, you can use discount codes on them and save at least $20 (you'd have to sign up for their newsletter).

I'd get one if they ever release Donnie. Kind of shame that Don isn't really getting production in a lot of toy lines now anymore. Kind of sucks for us that really collect on the Don merch.

Since I'm a huge Raph fan, I would've liked if they released him first but that's not the way it turned out. I wouldn't worry about Donnie getting released though. He's sure to come. They'd be fools not to cash in on making the last two.

This is true. I hope they don't forget that there are 4 turtles, not two heh (nothing against Leo or Mikey; the figures look wicked awesome!) Here's to hoping to see you seeking out Raph and myself Donnie soon enough!

Agreed. I want all of them.

*go_ninja84* · 04-26-2015, 11:52 AM

im gonna try and pre order Leo

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 04-26-2015, 12:15 PM

dont go through threezero themselves if you do...they require upfront payment

*go_ninja84* · 04-28-2015, 06:33 AM

Leo pre-ordered went with payment plan

sucks though i can only afford Leo but at least i got one

cloud · 04-28-2015, 05:28 PM

I went through Threezero to get the discounted 2 pack. I know I'm going to regret missing them even though I don't really want Leo. It's just easier to sell what I don't want at the end than hunting down what I missed for a fair price.
I missed on the Hot Toys Superman Returns figure and still kind of regret not pre-ordering back then.

I'm wondering if Threezero is just planning on releasing the 4 Turtles and call it a year.... So far all the questions asking if they will make Shredder or April have been sentences that basically means "NO" or "Not yes".
