Him being new and this being so cool I think it's fine that it has it's own thread. There really isn't much action going on in this forum lately.

Impressive collection! Welcome to the technodrome andrew, hope you can hang around.

How'd you acquire so many foot soldiers? How long did it take you, and how much $$ did you spend??

Awesome! I love classic Foot Soldiers, I wish I had some. I still think the turtles will win. Even though they don't have weapons, the turtles could take the Foot Soldiers' weapons as they defeat them.

In toys Rus the turtle figures are selling so WELL that everything new in-stock will be gone within a week or so(not the vehicles though... ... they dont sell), I dont think they will cancel the line for the next few years.

I dunno, this new line is doing so well I wouldn't be surprised that the toys continued on for as long as the old toy line carried on.

Just wondering, how do you guys know the toy line is doing well? (well yea there are a lot of figures on the shelves) But is there some kind of "billboards" for action figure lines somewhere? Charts on top selling toys for months or weeks? Any toy line or just TMNT?!!?!

TMNT was the best selling boy's toy line of 2004 I think. That was released information and was an article on toynewsi.com

Also those related with TMNT have stated many times that ratings for the show are lackluster, it's the sales of the merchandise that keep the franchise going. It did over a billion dollars worth of sales in 2004, and a good percentage of that is due to the action figures.

So by that information TMNT is in no trouble at all. You'll know once TMNT stops doing well commercially, trust me.
