Just out of curiosity, is the Playmates Blimp compatible with the NECA or Super7 figures (size-wise)?

Ehh, not reeeeally... NECA ones are a closer fit than S7 though... The S7 figures are a good bit too big.

Good to know. I'm still debating to pick it up once the price calms down to normal.

Is this the thread for discussing the "vs" 2 packs like Raph vs Triceraton?

I found a Shredder pack recently but have not seen the Triceraton and I see it going on eBay for a pretty penny.

Think more will start showing up or is it time to bit the secondary market bullet?

No. This one is: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/sho...t=63947&page=9

There’s still time to check your local Walmart and Walmart.com. The Donatello Versus Shredder and Raphael Versus Triceraton 2-Packs were released around November of last year.

They fit pretty good in the old one. I know it is a different glider, but It looks like the scaling is about the same.

Are they even still putting these things in stores or are they strictly online?

Six months later and I still have never seen a single piece.

Happy to have finally located my originals recently, but I never had a van as a kid, that would have been nice to find. I have kept part of a gift card from last year all this time thinking I'd find it at some point... Never mind. Have seen very little in the way of the collectable stuff either, but even then at least a few things on a rare occasion.

I still see various stores that have them, I feel like if they never showed up, they were probably picked up by scalpers. Someone posted a pic of a store that was stocked full with all bros and the vehicles. Sadly, I guess it just depends on where you live.

Thanks. Yeah, my store is pretty much crap about even getting things in general.

Kinda weird...I went to my Walmart and there were like 10 or more 2 packs on the shelf (mostly Mike, a couple Leo). Then they went available online last week (finally got a Triceraton). I went back to that store, and this was only a few days later max, and they were all gone.

I wonder if these were stuck in shipping. Been seeing stock come in at one Walmart since shortly after Christmas.

The figures are now available on Amazon UK (or at least Michelangelo is).

Edit: They're also available in Toymaster - the Croydon one had them yesterday.

Has anyone posted an in-depth comparison between the original Party Wagon and the last two rereleases? I've been told there's no major differences, although I did spot that the rereleases are missing certain stickers and the side mirrors have a code printed on them.

I still haven't been able to snag Don. Weird cause we all know he's the least popular selling turtle, and yet I have seen Leo and Raph in stock all the freaking time on walmart but not Don.

I haven't seen Donny for a few weeks but I used to see him a bunch. The paint on his plastron always had marks though. I'll keep my eyes open for you if you want.

Except the new turtle blimp isn’t classic. It doesn’t have the bombs therefore it’s inferior.

well, it is a fusion between the original and the 2012 version, i admit i'd go after it if it fit the original glider just cause i haven't been able to seal all the leaks in my original.
