that new 4 pack is nothing but a cheap cash grab. im not supporting that crap by buying it. sadly its going to fly off shelves and this will be the new norm...next wave of 2 packs will be $75 each Weren't you mad that the turtles weren't available some time ago? They re-release the turtles almost every year at this point, it's a jumping on point for people in the same position you were in a while back who missed previous TMNT releases. The price does definitely suck, but that can be said for Hasbro/Mattel/NECA across the board at this point. About the only figures that haven't gone up in price is McFarlane, and I'm pretty sure Todd is just a lunatic who doesn't care in the slightest.

Found the glow in the dark Muck Man and picked him up, talked myself out of a Pizza Monster because two is enough for me. Cool to see Metalhead and the Foot Soldier available again.
Also, I saw someone on IG post shelf tag pictures indicating they might re-release the Casey and April cartoon packs. Here's hoping for anyone who missed those.

shockingly saw most of the Haul-a-thon NECA Turtle stuff at a Target that hasn't had ANY NECA figures in 6-8 months. The only thing they didn't have was the 4 pack Turtles. Saw the Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady figures, they were cool, but not for me. The Mirage Fugitoid is really nice in person, but I don't have any comic stuff, so I passed on that as well.

I was fully expecting that 4 pack to be $200, so that's a nice surprise.

glad I passed on the Neutrino's and Usagi and saved the $ for the Secret of the Ooze set and the accessory pack.

I know on one of the interviews (Pixel Dan maybe?) they mentioned the set would be under 200, so seeing the turtles and the accessory set for about 225 after shipping is pretty good. Glad I can skip Tokka and Rahzar since I got the first releases. Between three weeks of TMNT preorders, Super7 Godzilla Ultimates, and the Mythic Legions sale this morning I’m beating the hell out of my credit card.

looks better than the Super7 one TBH I like the Super7 van too, but this one is definitely more in line with what people want, if I had to guess. At half the price and a much more manageable size, too. I think if they made a dumbed-down version without the lights for like $30 less, I'd go in for it. As it happens now, I'll wait for the inevitable NECA and see what they come up with.

Secret of the Ooze stuff is on NECA store. I got the turtles and the accessory set. Plus I found the Target four-pack today, so I’m hoping this is the last time I’ll be so unkind to my credit card for a good while.
Anyone who missed Tokka and Rahzar during the first release should absolutely get them this time. They’re on the NECA store as well and they’re amazing.

Do we know what the TMNT2 2-packs are going to cost when they eventually hit Walmart? I just don't know if I can drop $150 + @14.99 shipping + whatever tax on this right now.

I don’t think they’ve said but if I had to guess, probably about the same as the current movie two-packs are. That’s like the 60ish range if I’m not mistaken? I did see an option to pay in installments too, like a pay-in-4 deal that divides it up and you pay 1/4 of it every two weeks.

They'll be $60, if prices don't go up again before then. The NECA store does offer the Paypal pay in 4 option, if that helps you any.

honestly its a real dick move to charge $15 shipping when you're already overcharging by $30 for the turtles pack and it has LESS packaging than 2 separate 2 packs would have.
im trying to decide if its worth it when the 2 packs are way easier to find now than they were before, so i highly doubt, when they release the SOTO ones to Walmart, it will be tough to track down. there wont be as high of a resale value anymore, most collectors will have them because of this pre-order, and they are finally making what seems like a reasonable amount of them.

grabbed the Secret of the Ooze 4 pack and accessory set, I love the VHS box for the 4 pack, and I still have the first SDCC VHS box set, so it will look cool if I can display them together eventually.

Scooped up a regular and a signed Fugitoid at Target today. Has there been a number released as far as how many signed figures were out there?

I was easily able to order the Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady NECA pack today from Target's Haulathon. It's crazy how far this line has come in terms of obtainability.

I was easily able to order the Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady NECA pack today from Target's Haulathon. It's crazy how far this line has come in terms of obtainability. part of it is the characters they are releasing most of these packs are one-offs that only real hardcore collectors/fans will buy. its great for completeists i just wish they would continue to re-release the packs of the POPULAR characters....April, Casey, the original 2 packs that came out...etc. like, you need to start getting more business, these obscure things aren't doing it. Mattel has no problem putting Roman or Cena in every other set. the most-wanted figures in this line are the hardest to get because a ton of people are late to the game. they just re-released the vernon/rat king pack AGAIN. and this was not even 2 months after the channel 6 set that has Vernon in it and putting out a plain 4 pack of the stylized turtles at a cost of $150 is not what most people want. even that set is only going to hardcore collectors, and people who are going to re-sell and make a $10 profit after fees
