    My local Target got in a buttload of the new Turtle and Foot Soldier 2-packs (like a total of 4+ each) but not one Bebop/Rocksteady?
    Disappointing. Hope this stock sells quickly so maybe they can try again.

    They had BB&RS, they were just all bought before you got there, at the moment they're the hot seller and people are only picking them up, at both of my localish targets both have 3-4 sets of Turtles and foot, no BB&RS but I was there at mine when they had 4 of all. I think the hardest sell will be the foot, doesnt seem like people are "army building"

    Had a Target gift card, so got the Foot Soldiers.
    And then BF had another 20% gift coupon if you bought $50+ that day, so hoping to score BB&RS later this month.

    I have the KO NECA Turtles from some years back, these new FS will go great with those.

    *sigh* BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR BEBOP ANKLE JOINTS.

    Thankfully I have two sets, and one of my Bebops is fine.

    The thought crossed my mind, but the shelves were absolutely packed so it wasn't like there were any missing.
    Which is why I found it weird.

    ^Thanks target.com, it took a minute for shipping but well worth the wait.

    I will show some restraint and stop at 3 Foot Soldiers.

    Got the Shredder and Ras set today. Shredder is the winner in my view. Really love all of these Batman/Tmnt figures.

    So are the two-pack foot soldiers different from the ones released with Ralph/Mikey a few months ago?

    Nope, they are the exact same figure with the same accessories which is cool.

    I kind of feel like the Foot 2-pack would have had more appeal if there had been some slight variation on the accessories or maybe an interchangeable head - given that they're exactly the same, I'm less inclined to buy them again.

    My Target stocks three types of toys:
    1. Crap that nobody wants.
    2. Exclusives that're old news in Egypt.
    3. Street dated toys that can't be sold (Springer, Rocksteady/Bebop, etc).
    For as lousy as they are at inventory control, though, they are fucking superhuman at finding hidden toys. Doesn't matter where I put them, they're always found within 24 hours. Such was the fate of that Rocksteady and Bebop set. It's not a terrible loss because I wasn't entirely sold on the cel shading effect. I really would've preferred that Playmates hadn't fucked up their Classics line on purpose. But expecting a toy company not to fuck up constantly is like expecting your dog to start speaking the Queen's English.
