I honestly don’t know why they don’t make enough of these and just kick back a certain percentage to playmates. You make it back in the long run. Tons of people are tired of trying to find the Neca TMNT stuff.

It would be easier if they just solicited made-to-order pre-orders, instead of doing limited runs. I know, I know—Playmates this, Playmates that. Eventually, fans get sick of the excuses.

And while these aren’t “technically” out yet, we all know it’s going to be the same song and dance as it is right now. The Target listings will be sold out before most normal collectors can even lay their eyes on them. And so, they’ll proceed to hunt them down. Most wont find them.

If any of you find the Rocksteady and Bebop set out in the wild, I would be in your debt. Retail here honestly sucks. The toy isles are barren most days. I’d have more luck finding Emilia Clarke’s lips around my hilt.

I didn’t even get the email.

One part of me just wants to wash my hands of Neca TMNT and the other part really wants a Splinter and Bebop and Rocksteady to complete the display. Ugh. Just three more figures and I can stop. Please god.

It’s insane how scalpers have latched onto this property. I’m not kidding, they JUMP at the chance to mark up anything. Anything. It’s ridiculous.

I still need to get that 1/4 Shredder. The reviews I've seen of it made it very impressive. Paint on the face is completely toneless, but not bad in comparison to some really awful paint jobs out there. And it's NECA, you're not supposed to expect a masterpiece. The fact they gave it the cape is incredible.

The only thing I don't like on the 1/4 Shredder is the eyes are looking slightly up and not facing forward. They seemed to have fixed that on the smaller one thankfully, and that's the one I'll end up getting anyway. I don't know if they even have the actor's likeness since it's doesn't really look like him but it's still a good sculpt.

I don't really have room for anymore 1/4 scale for the time being (unless they do a Pinhead or Halloween 2 Myers next year to which I'm all for shuffling some stuff out of the way). Their 1/4 stuff has gotten really good in recent years too.

Nabbed the new wave of NECA toon Turtles at Target today! Both Targets I went to had lots of them! They were officially stocked today. Don’t pay attention to the Target website. It shows that neither Target I went to has them. It’s probably better that it’s not tipping off all the scalpers. Just go to your local Target and scoop them!

Neca should just start making these in such mass quantities that they have to sell them at Big Lots within six months. That’ll kill the scalping bullshit real fast.

I think the return of Toys R Us is actually only a few stores opening nationwide. I’m sure I could research it further, but that’s what I think I read in an article.

I did see a video of one that opened up in an old Kmart or something and it's the same deal just very condensed.

And calling places like that for them to check their stock is always a waste of time since most of the employees are complete morons.

I know. It’s super frustrating. I called on Saturday and a guy in Toys said they had them in the back, but he’d release them to me if I ask for him.
I got there and they were super busy. I found the guy, he said to follow him, but we were stopped by customers three times on the way to the stock room. He spent about five minutes helping each of the first two people find stuff while I waited patiently, but the third customer was deaf and he spent at least fifteen minutes explaining why he couldn’t sell her a display stroller. I was losing my cool, so I walked away... a few minutes later, he came up to me and apologized. So we went to the stock room, where I waited outside. He was gone for fifteen more minutes. So asked another employee to look for him. He returns from the stock room with Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figs...🤢🤮

When Toys R Us was still a few blocks from me... whenever I wanted to see if they had something I just went there as whenever I called, they never knew what the hell I was talking about.

Yeah, TRU is only reopening a few stores. They’re going to be somewhat like attractions.

All the scalpers here around town in Orlando destroy any stock the second they come available. I swear they have contacts that are calling them to pick stuff up!
