DAMITT!!! Bad news for international TMNT fans

The Lone Turtle · 02-04-2003, 01:34 AM

I just received a responce from the customer service department at Playmates Toys, and she said that it could be up to 6 months before the new toys start shipping Internationally

Why does it have to be so hard?

Well I don't really care. If that means thye might come here after 6 months, maybe il buy the TMNT.

You could just buy them off ebay from sellers who are willing to ship to your country. But then again, that would take a long time to arrive too.

It could be worse. Anyway, just follow my motto: "always expect the worse, that way you'll never be dissapointed".

yeah, I'll probably have to get them from the US directly now. But thats not the problem, it's just the dollar conversion rate, plus, I really want to see TMNT back on the shelves again

6 months would make it early August, that fits in with the new shows airdate of September in the UK.

Does that include canada?

To be honest I don't know, it probably depends when Canada is getting the new show as the figures will probably appear about a month before the show is released or during the month the show is released.

The only potential good thing about the 6 month wait is that we may get April, Casey and Hun in the first wave. Then again we may have to wait until around Christmas time for them instead.
