This year has been a pain in the ass for collecting those lines, and at least some of that is due to the ways Target has handled them. NECA TMNT has been a pain in the ass since it came out in early 2019. As much as I like stumbling across stuff in the wild, I wish all of these collector lines would go to a made to order format.
Yes indeed, a preorder window from this date to that date. This is what I'm hoping NECA does for these next 4 2packs, open up a week or so preorder window, pay upfront, and forget about it until you get a shipping notice.
Found another pack of Movie Foot Soldiers at an out of the way WM tonight. Was really hoping to finally score some Turtles sets, lol. Also saw some Marvel Legends in the wild for the first time in literal months outside of a random figure here and there, and those are usually at GameStop. The Joe Fix-it wave in its entirety. Crazy. I imagine it's a lot easier for you guys out there who collect other lines to wash away the constant disappointment by finding something else you're on the hunt for while you're out searching, but this is it for me -- some Masterpiece TF / 3rd party and NECA TMNT, with the occasional video game and Super 7 TMNT related pick-up -- the advantage with many of those other items is that you have your choice of where to order / preorder. So yeah, consider this a co-sign on the option to go to a made to order pre-order window on the official website versus spending all this time and energy driving around. Man, I really enjoyed parts of the hunt for prior lines ages ago, but in the past half decade and especially this year alone -- it's been a trip. @mark4flair -- Go watch that first movie (1990) when you get a chance. While I can't guarantee you'll love it, you might get some further insight to why it's still considered one of the best comic book adaptations of all time.
Yes. I just recently put Mikey and Donny on risers this past week so I thought I’d take another shot of the display.
At this point I feel like Neca is gonna re-release them they know there's a desire, though the bootlegs i got are of good quality
I second that. I bought a full set of toon colored Mirage Turtles on Ebay years back for a total of $60. They are great quality. I just wish I had bought the Shredder and foot set when it was not as costly. That and an April. I hate myself for having missed out on her when these figures were easily attainable at TRU.
Man those TRU days they were so available it's crazy to see the change, I saw all the turtles in singles and boxset, April, and the mousers and never thought to pick them up, I also never knew I'd have a crazy ass collection like I do now either hindsight they say.....I guess
I I was young and didn't really have an established career with good income at the time. I thought the pricing for those figures was too high. Right now I laugh at myself for thinking that.
Speaking of NECA, when are they supposed to ship out Metalhead and Tokka & Rahzar? It's been a while with no word and I am typically wary of paying in advance for something. I expect things to ship out in a timely fashion, not months later.
I think November sometime for both...definitely for Tokka and Rahzar...need to double check for Metalhead
Heads up guys! Triceraton/RkR 2 pack have started showing up and in the Midwest/Eastern states. Also saw theres a scalper that found a Splinter/Baxter 2 pack in Fl. Be on the lookout, especially for the splinters looks like they'll be arriving earlier.
Wow. Already!? These release dates are really loosely set. I can understand Triceratons, but Splinter / Baxter?
