Same here. TMNT fills up the shelves at the toy stores here to. It is probably the only action figure line stores here get regularly.

TMNT....

Yea, no kidding, I see it everywhere too. Not quiet as much as the old days but it is now probably one of the highest popular toy/cartoon lines out there. In TRU, TMNT has the second highest amount of figs on shelf next to Power Rangers. I remember in the 90's when it was the other way, hehehe. I can't wait to see some new stuff brewing!!!!

Whenever i go to the tmnt section is a store...i always see someone that gets excited when they see the toys...like they remember it when they used to be popular. Most of them dont even know about the new show.

Our stores are still selling out of most of the TMNT stuff they get in. I can't find any of the school supplies here anywhere, but i was lucky enough to get the red bick folder with the turtles on the front. XD.

I've seen many parents just getting them for their kids randomly, like "oh, that looks cool", and "do you thinkg ____ would like this for his birthday?"
What's weird though is it's the Extreme Sports turtles that the parents usually get for the kids. Go figure .

I'm just waiting for cell phone covers now .

I know, me too. Those would be really cool.

And, just today I saw a little boy getting a TMNT lunchbox. In line, he was playing with it and looking at it. It's great to see kids excited about the turtles again.
