Can't find the new guys in Indiana?

Newton Gimmick · 04-26-2004, 10:28 AM

Hey, I've been up here in Indiana for a while and while i'm staying here I can't seem to find ANY of the new turtles. By that I mean Giant Mouser, Leatherhead, etc. I have all the newer guys before that like Turtle Titan, Toddler Turtles, etc....

Has anyone else not gotten the new batches either?

I still cant find the damn fire mystic its the one I want the most and i'm not going to pay the crazzy prices people want for things on ebay...pluss it takes away from the fun of searching but it is really getting anoying...
I found all of thew new ones here in texas besides the fire mystic of course at walmart last week....and I come back this week because i finally got some money to buy them ann all 5 rows of shelves have been changed to some other toy and now there all gone! either they put them back in the stock room or they sold really damn fast but it seriously is making me upset....I want the new figures and I'm sick of seeing stupid mutations and fighting gear everywhere I go.

My local Wal-Mart here in NC had all the new figs with the DVD except for the Foot Fire Mystic. I looked through all of them trying to find him, which is a pain in the ass if you've seen how those figs with the DVDs are on the shelf. I, too, am sick of seeing mutations and fighting gear Turtles.

I havent seen this display in ANY of the Wal-Marts around here. Where is this EndCap usually at?

Relay · 04-26-2004, 10:58 AM

At my Wal-Mart, the end cap is at the end of the aisle where the Turtles are regularly. The figs are in cardboard holders that sit on the shelf. They're a pain in shell because when they put the figures in there, they usually get all bent up on the corners. Also, you pretty much have to take the whole cardboard holder thing off the shelf in order to see ones hiding in the back, at least that is what I did. I proabably looked pretty silly -- a 21 year old guy taking an entire shelf of TMNTs down just to look at them.

and the thing that bugs me is that toys r us just wont put new stuff out neither will target and they wonder why ooo i dont know why our toys arn't selling ...we have to stop selling this line because its not selling well how about you try and ut them out on the shelves when u fraking get them! god that annoys me beyond anything.

I live in Willow Grove, PA near Phila. The two Wal-Marts near me have not received the dvd figures. Does every Wal-Mart get these figures? I keep checking with them. I wonder if these figures will be released without dvds, and when?

jestergoblin · 04-26-2004, 12:47 PM

I live in Maine, the latest wave hasn't even appeared yet and everyone is overstocked with mutations. On the plus side, I was able to get another foot tech with a dvd...

Skabbz · 04-26-2004, 01:26 PM

i live in tooele utah, and for a couple of months my walmart only had mutation figures on the shelves, but i had them scan the 5$ tmnt barcode thingie, and it came up saying they had 200+ tmnt figures in the warehouse... so im thinking some walmarts are just being lazy right now, but the manager told me he had to drive his own pick up truck out there and pick them up himself. that was kinda kool tho. but i havent found the foot fire mystic either, and im thinking he might be a chase figure for this line?? i dunno, just a thought

The thing about the Foot Mystic is that he doesn't come with a DVD for whatever reason. That's probably why you can find all the new figs except him at Wal-Mart.

Triceraton · 04-26-2004, 08:04 PM

Fire Foot Mystic is 2 per case in the normal case that also includes Turtle Titan, Turtlebot, and Turtle Toddlers. For some reason the FFM wasn't released with a DVD though.

No, only the ones that usually participate in these exclusives. For example, the Batman figures with comic books that were Wal-Mart exclusives. One of the Wal-Marts in my area got those, the other didn't. And that pattern was consistant for TMNT, the better one got the DVD figures, the other didn't.

Of course, it doesn't matter, the DVD figures sold out so fast I hardly saw them anyway. I'm still missing Razorfist and Leatherhead.

I wouldn't worry yet though, I'm sure these are going to get a better distribution eventually. After all, nothing else in this line has been very hard to find yet.

I know!! Our Target and Toys R Us are the same way! Though our TRU is waaaaay worse than the Target. I've heard people complaining in our TRU about their lack of new figs. Though I don't go there often anymore, because I know there will be nothing new. I just kinda stop in every so often. Why go in just to be dissappointed?

But I do have to say, the Walmart by me isn't that great either. Almost everywhere else will have had their toys for a few weeks before we get them...

milweskee · 04-26-2004, 09:16 PM

There are four wal-marts i check about 3 days a week. None of them seem to be even close to putting the DVD figs on the shelf. It's costing me a lot of gas money. One wal-mart got rid of an entire stock of mutations though. I don't know where they went, but i'm pretty sure they weren't sold.

Skabbz · 04-26-2004, 10:17 PM

Wow... I hadn't thought about Children's Palace for awhile. You're right, that place was always well stocked.

I miss that store, too...

EZweasel · 04-27-2004, 06:42 AM

i found the foot fire mystic at a local wal-mart, but didnt know he was rare and i passed him up...there was only one but i just didnt know..

Kora · 04-27-2004, 05:14 PM

wow... here in NB Canada, I'm having the hardest time finding tmnt figures... of course, WallMart and Toys R Us and Zellers and etc... have some, but, just the sporty turtles and the geared turtles... I really had to dig and look really really hard through the lesser frequented stores for Casey Jones and Splinter... I'm still missing some ((such as April, Shredder and Foot Soldier))... but I've yet to see any of the new ones.
