Toddler Turtles

avervisal · 07-12-2004, 11:16 AM

Hey guys,

Sorry if this was already a topic in the past but I did check out the past pages and couldn't really find any information about this...so here goes!

I haven't been in the TMNT scene for about half a year or so since I was busy with school and sports and whatnot and obviously a lot happened between then and now. I only have figures from the first wave and I really want some of those Toddler Turtles (they're so cute!) but I can't find any of them in the stores around me! I've read around and some people said that the Toddler line was discontinued?? Since it's July already I figured that I probably missed out on the good stuff, but it'd help if anyone could clear this mystery up to a fellow turtle fan!

What area of IL are you in?

No the toddler turtles are still coming out, if you're in my area I can give you a list of stores that still have them.

They haven't been discontinued yet.....They've just been out for awhile so they might be harder to find.

I'm in the Lombard area, so I mainly go to the Toys R Us on Butterfield and Target and Yorktown shopping mall and the Walmart on Kingery Highway (83) for my TMNT needs.

Where are you Ecto?

E-money · 07-12-2004, 12:09 PM

I live in Burr Ridge/Hinsdale area and the Target on Kingery and 55 has them. Also, I'm sure in Naperville and Weaton area they can be found since I have seen them there before.

I also live in the Dekalb/Sycamore area and have not really seen a lot there.

The best two places I have seen new TMNT out is the Walmart and Target that are right next to each other in the Countryside Mall area.

I passed on these they didnt appeal to me but if you need some and cant find them I could go buy one and send it to you

*BigApple3AM* · 07-12-2004, 05:29 PM

Whoa cool, you guys are right by where I work. I work at Graham Crackers comics on Butterfield Road. You guys should stop by sometime. It's always cool to meet fellow TMNT fans.

There is a lovely pic of my boss on that link.

avervisal · 07-12-2004, 05:51 PM

What's up!!

OK so I just checked out the Target on Kingery and 55 but unfortunately they didn't have any of the Tots. I'm guessing someone picked them up before I had a chance to!! Oh well, I'll get them yet.

Next stop...Countryside!??! Where in the world is that? Lol maybe I could do a Walmart/Target store locator search...

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Oh yeah, and it IS pretty funky that we're all in the same area yeah? We should do one of those MeetUp things where turtle fans in the same area unite!

Holy cow! You're from IL too? And living in an area that's within an hour's drive of where I live?

I don't suppose you've heard of a town called Lake Zurich, have you? We're north of Buffalo Grove. Anyway, I'm familiar with the Graham Crackers comics franchise. My boyfriend, his friends and I sometimes visit the store in St. Charles. Well, they're there more than I am usually. Anyway, wow!

*BigApple3AM* · 07-12-2004, 08:35 PM

I actually live in Mt. Prospect, I just drive to wheaton cuz my boss rocks and it's an awesome job, sure it takes me like 45 minutes to get there but it's always worth it. Buffalo Grove is like 15 minutes away.

My work schedule is constantly shifting, but I'm always at the store on Saturday.

avervisal · 07-12-2004, 08:46 PM

K guys I need some help....where's Countryside??

Wow your boss would stop Satan cold in his tracks

Id go to ur shop but I live in CA so theres kinda a distance issue there

avervisal · 07-13-2004, 09:32 AM

YESSSSS OK so here's my story:

I looked all over in my area for them darn Toddlers and couldn't find them...so I finally decided to aimlessly drive West all the way down North Avenue (which you can find towards the North of you felling IL'ers who responded to this thread) and hit up every Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us I encountered. FINALLY, after driving all the way to bloody St. Charles, I went into the Toys R Us as soon as it opened, made some good convo with the employees there on how I came all the way there just for TMNT, and FOUND THEM!! They were fully stocked with everything! I saw pretty much EVERY FIGURE except for the Foot Fire Mystics, which I think I'm going to be going after next.

WOW what a relief!

I can rest in peace for now, that is, until they release the next wave!!!

*BigApple3AM* · 07-13-2004, 11:40 AM

congrats, foot fire mystic is harder to find than the toddler turtles however... My wal-mart just put out a new wave so check your wal-marts. Toysrus sometimes has new figures but for some reason they never have the best ones.

Although my toys r us has the pizza thrower which I thought was cool

Shreddatron · 07-19-2004, 04:11 PM

Does anyone have a working link pic of the Tots with their new weapons?

You can see them in the toy section on the Official TMNT web site.
