Are any stores still stocking the Shell Stiker vehicles??

*tmntman* · 01-25-2006, 12:54 PM

These never showed up in great numbers here. I think only one or two of the Walmarts ever had them. So, like a fool I held off buying them in hopes of finding them somewhere other than Walmart. Now they are no where to be found. Is anyone still finding these locally or did they all get sold off to a liquidator chain?

I haven't been to the store in a few weeks, but they should still be shipping--heck, the shell cycle has been out three years and it's still shipping. You should be able to find them at Wal-Mart or Target, if they don't have them right now you might want to check back in a few weeks.

I've been wondering a lot about the release of TMNT recently. It seems everytime something new comes out stores get them in once, and then the next stuff is released so soon that the older stuff never comes back in stock. It's making it impossible for me to buy any figures, I've so much college work I don't have time for a job so I've no money. I doubt at this stage I'll be able to catch up without importing nearly everything I've missed.

Does anyone else find that new TMNT stuff is out for a very short period of time before being replaced by the next wave of stuff?

To be honest, ROSS has some in their Toy section

Haha, I've been pretty bad with vehicles myself. I got zanramon cruiser and the next mutation hummer at TRU during Black Friday (got them both for $10).

Luckily I scored these at a Target in Ohio the day after Christmas. Got em all for $10 on clearance. If you can't find them anywhere and get desperate try your local supermarket as mine had all 3 at one point (probably still have them).

Otherwise try eBay I'm sure you can find them for retail on there.

Yea eBay is a last resort for me in regards to the new line of toys...i have no problem getting vintage stuff on there but would prefer to get the stuff in the sotres if at all posibble...im definately keeping an eye open for these vehicles and hopefully will get lucky and find them at clearance...

From the looks of things, the basic vehicle line is being dropped in favor of the vehicles with figures packed in. The stores here don't have any space layed out for the $10 price point vehicles. Even Toys R Us has all of their existing stock of basic vehicles on clearance for 50% off. But the Battle Bikes that have been around since 2004 and the Combat Cruisers from last year are still quite common.

If nobody else bids on this, you'd get it for $7.00. I paid $11.00 for mine at the store. She has a 100% feedback rating.

There's one Strata Slicer in stores over here, reduced to clear and obviously left over in the stock room cause the box is totally ripped and mashed.
