I ordered super 7 april and shredder because I decided it was much cheaper than trying to get the neca versions. The mix and match continues. Do you have pics of how the Super 7 look with the NECA figs?

Neca is putting up some figures for preorder tomorrow. Two-packs of Groundchuck and Dirtbag, and Wingnut and Screwloose. Limited quantities and at 11 am EST tomorrow. I completely missed out on them. Damnit!

Damnit! I checked and could have ordered, but since I missed the Turtles way back when, I didn't bother just like I haven't bothered with anything I've found in store. They looked great, but my vintage Groundchuck and Wingnut and Screwloose will have to do.

glad I ordered that Casey/April set sight-unseen, it looks good and I never got the unmasked Casey single pack so this is good enough for me. Also April's legs look much better.

I also preordered the Super7 Raph on Big Bad, turns out it's based on a vintage figure that I had no idea even existed. I had/still have Undercover Don, but I don't remember them doing the other Turtles. Maybe it was like Storage Shell Don, where they did him, first, I believe, and then later did the rest. I actually saw those, though, unlike Undercover Raph.

I guess people are already finding the Dirtbag/Groundchuck and Wingnut/Screwloose packs in Target if you missed out on the NECA sale.

Dirtbag & Groundchuck were $65. i dont know where they get off charging that much for these things. its bad enough the regular packs already went up in price...as well as most of the single box figures. the worst part about all of this is the fact that they wont ing re-release the turtles, april, casey, shredder, foot soldiers, etc. like, those are the figures people WANT TO BUY. there should never be shipments to stores without them, no excuse for this shit.

Agreed. I don't understand the thinking. Maybe the line sells well enough that they don't need to redo the Turtles or main characters to get more people buying in.

Almost seems like some exclusive club. Neca: You don't have the Turtles? Nah, we don't want you.

its just ridiculous. yes the original turtle packs were released i think twice. at least i can definitely remember seeing them more than 1 time at the same target. and then the re-deco's that were lighter color. a lot of people were not in to this line when they were released (myself included) or maybe thought they would be like a lot of NECA's stuff and hang around for a long time
then randomly like a year ago a bunch of targets' got the leo/shredder original pack in addition to whatever else was new at the time.......and thats it. unless you found the disguise 4 pack. or just did a NECA store pre-order. im not sure if the disguse set is better than the originals or not
even bebop & rocksteady only got put out twice. yet how many re-stocks of zarax and zork have their been? or how many splinter/baxter packs hit every target in the country? like 10 per store plus a re-stock?
its ridiculous. you're alienating new people ALL the time because they want to buy these amazing figures of the TURTLES. honestly if i didnt happen to get lucky and walk in to the right target at the right time on the right day i still would not have the original turtles unless i paid ebay prices which have skyrocketed.
and forget about the april/foot and casey/foot packs. 2 of the other most popular characters nowhere to be found
they SHOULD be re-releasing a popular set every single time there's a new set. or they need to do a better pre-order for some of them again.

If anyone is still looking for the Walmart Classics, Raph, Mikey and Leo and available right now. I noticed this the other day as well. But what is up with Donatello?! All of the others have been up more than a few times for shipping. Leonardo even more than the others. But Don NEVER has been up for shipping!!! Unless I just haven't caught it when it was. There have been times I thought I was close, but at the last minute, WHEN ITS IN MY CART, Walmart says its out of stock. Going to be pissed if I end up with only 3 of the 4!! With the blimp coming out, that gives me hope I will be able to find him.
