I passed on the NECA van. Seeing the photos confirmed I was happy with the S7 version. I'm just not into the design of the NECA version. It looks squished together. Which is a bummer since I would have bought both to go with both lines if I ended up liking it. The price is good on it. Just not what I was expecting from them. The shell hump in particular didn't sit right with me. If that piece alone was different I would have pulled the trigger. It seems like a lair is coming from them at some point, too. So I'll put the van money towards that instead.
Got a farm set order in. They seem to be plentiful for those that are able to find them at retail. So hopefully the online order stock is sizable and those will be filled in the next couple of weeks. You just truly never know with Walmart.

The April/Casey 2-pack I ordered from Walmart the other day got delivered today. Really happy with it. NECA continues to knock it out of the park with every figure. I buy Friday the 13th, Halloween, TMNT, Universal Monsters, Back to the Future, etc….every figure is a masterpiece. I truly believe NECA makes the best figures available. I enjoy a lot from Hasbro, but there’s just something different and special about NECA.

Got my farmhouse set delivered today as well. This is my first unmasked Casey since I skipped the Ultimate version due to already having the Raphael 2-pack, and the likeness on his face is great. I still like the other April more than this version (minus the knees), but this one is still very nicely done and is a welcome addition to the line.

The third party van is shipping now from 5Ktoys, ShowZstore, and probably some other sites too. Looks like a great alternative for anyone who doesn't want one specific to the cartoon or the original toys. 5ktoys.com/collections/featured/products/preorder-underground-arsena-1-12-tortoise-van-light-featured-limitFits nicely with NECA and SHF Turtles, it's actually really big. From a guy named Aaron Grove on a TMNT Facebook group - looks like the Super7 figures actually fit pretty well into this one too. Runs about $250 and I've considered it, even though I also have the NECA van preordered.

Amazon is now selling the Classic TMNT figures that were originally exclusive to Walmart. Including the 6in 2packs. But they are not being sold at Walmart prices. You will also need to search for each figure individually, search "ninja turtles Leonardo", etc, to find them. The blimp is on there.

I got an email saying that the Mousers are going to ship soon if you ordered JUST the Mousers and not the Ultimate Foot Soldier. Which I believe I only got one set of Mousers, so I should hopefully have those soon. Speaking of Mousers, looks like one will be included in the Pre-Mutation SDCC box set. I think this is really cool for a con exclusive. None of the characters are truly essential, they're just alternate versions of characters that have already been released. Still, I'm 100% certain that people will complain about it, but that's how these things go.

it's a cool set, I'd only really want Hamato Yoshi though, so I will probably pass on this one. I do really like the baby turtles in the little tank also.

Now if only Loot Crate would ever ship that Scrag... Tell me about it. I’m waiting for ANY news on the remaining crates. I did see where some people got some emails a few weeks ago apologizing for the delays, but at this point, LootCrate needs to make good on the product that they already have our money for.

LootCrate and NECA are clearly like minded companies. I'm still waiting for my Turtles in Disguise set from the NECA store which was paid for in full last July and was supposed to ship last December. They emailed me a month or so ago saying it was delayed for a further 9 months (!!!) or there abouts. The set wasn't even mentioned on the latest "update" email. Even if my set does eventually arrive and by some miracle has no quality control issues (I'm particularly skeptical about the latter), no way I'm ever ordering from the NECA store again, utterly disgraceful service.

That definitely sucks. I’ll at least admit that NECA does update customers, compared to Mezco. Paid for a figure in full back in January 2020 and they’ve been silently delaying it ever since, no idea when it’s supposed to release at all. Definitely turned me off to their preorders for the same reason.

Nickelodeon has no qualms about borderline-whoring out the TMNT. Having crossovers with everybody!! Not a bad thing, personally all for it, but still... I have seen the TMNT/Cobra Kai/Karate Kid 2packs for the last year. I am a sucker for teamups and crossovers. So although I don't NEED any of the packs, the pure novelty of it all makes them really tempting. Amazon currently has the Mikey/LaRusso pack decently cheap. That is the only one I would really want. These Street Fighter sets are the same way. No NEED, but the novelty is strong. Thanks to the Power Rangers/Street Fighter crossover a few years ago, I bought the Marvel Ryu/Black Widow 2pack. I am willing to bet that next year we will see new TMNT/Star Trek crossover packs and figures.

Those Playmates TMNT Classic molds were good for their time, for sure. They’ve gotta be on their tenth repaint for those by now, but hey, Playmates gonna get their money.
I’m actually kinda impressed by how Ryu looks, Playmates did a pretty good job with him. I wanna see their other SF characters.

I grabbed the SDCC 4 pack. Surprisingly, it's still up after almost 10 minutes.

Forgot all about the SDCC set today. Bummer, but I guess that means I don't need it haha.
