Classics collection

*Zachatello00* · 09-27-2012, 09:28 AM

This may have been posted elsewhere, but I just couldn't find it. Are the Classic Collection figures exclusive to TRU? at least as far as brick and mortar stores are concerned?

Someone on here said that they found them at Walmart; they had pictures to prove it, but I don't think many Walmarts have them.

The ones at the Walmart were in a Canadian Walmart. USA walmarts do not carry them in stores.

I guess being Canadian does payoff, sometimes (I'm looking at you London 2012.)

I saw at target not to long ago.

You have to drop by a couple of days after a new shipment of the figures has been delivered. There are only two sets delivered at a time. I lucked out and got to Toy' Ru Us just after it was putout so I could pick up all four of them! The number of figures appears to be limited to an extent.

I'm concerned about the figures at my local Toys R Us. It seemed like a month ago they got their first shipment of the Classic TMNT figures. I thought the eyes and painting of the yellow letters on their belts was a little sloppy so that day I only (oddly enough considering the eye problem) bought Donatello. Since that first shipment my store hasn't gotten any more of the Classic TMNT figures!

I've gone back on average about twice a week and nothing has shown up. I'm starting to get angry that they may not get anymore in!

Has anyone else had this problem?

Uki · 09-29-2012, 08:59 PM

I still haven't gotten any beyond Raph...same exact situation as you, Knuckles.

*pannoni1* · 09-30-2012, 11:34 AM

I checked my local TRU, WalMart, and Target yesterday and not one Classics figure! They are going for $25-$30 on eBay, so buy if you see them in stock! Unfortunately, this could result in a price markup due to the high demand.

man I'm glad I jumped on these when I did, now they are in the same price range you quoted on amazon

and to think savagejohn said these weren't going to be hard to come by....

Floyd91 · 09-30-2012, 08:38 PM

I picked all 4 of them up yesterday from Target. They had 5 total two Donatello's and one each of the other 3. It looks like the premier of the cartoon yesterday morning had quite a few kids interested in the toys as there was actually a decent sized group of people picking through them.

has any one ever tried eatting a crayon? Don't do it their disgusting. Especially the crayola kind ewwwww.

*Powder* · 09-30-2012, 10:19 PM

Are you a troll or did you just have trouble making your way back to the white bus?

*Zulithe* · 09-30-2012, 11:09 PM

I remember when people were complaining about how amazon was marking the price up to like $21 instead of 19.99. I bet people wish they had those prices now!

Redemption · 09-30-2012, 11:24 PM

I was lucky. After everything was said and done I paid $18 each for my 4 classic turtles. That buy 2 get 1 free TRU was having was well worth it!

I'd just exercise some patience. They'll be a second run of these. If anything, Playmates will probably over produce before it's all said and done. Eventually all the flippers will get stuck with huge amounts of unmovable stock and secondary market price will come down. Always happens.

GameMachineJames · 10-04-2012, 01:47 AM

Just bit the bullet and bought Donatello...

Before I had only (as an adult) owned one Turtles figure, Serling. Still have him but his forearms are long gone ;-;

Now I've got all 4 Nick Turtles and the NN-series Nick April.

So my next goal is Classics... I think once I have the full Classics team I might try and find a B&W NECA Mirage set... Wish me luck!

*Slade* · 10-05-2012, 12:29 PM

I've seen 2 Leo's at Hastings. They're gone now though. At the time they didn't have the Nick figures. Now they do. 9.99 a piece too. Anyway, with some of the things I've been reading you guys say, it seems like if a store gets the Classics in, it's a one time thing.

A little *too* Raph · 10-05-2012, 03:32 PM

Sorry if this has been discussed, I have not been here for awhile. Has anyone heard anything on the pre-orders from Big Bad Toy Store for the classics figures?

It's been pushed back from august to sept and now 4th quarter 2012. Just wondered if they would actually be getting them
