Has anyone successfully received a napoleon colossus from target? I ordered one the first day they went up, label created 6-27 supposed to arrive 6-29 and i haven't received it so i called and they sent a replacement to arrive this Wednesday the 12th, label created on the 7th which is same day i spoke with them but I'm concerned because it's supposed to arrive in 2 days but tracking shows no movement same as the first one. I think this is supposed to be part of the target summer geek out but went up early so maybe they don't actually have the product yet even though online says they do? I guess if it doesn't come by Wednesday I'll call for a refund and a gift card for my troubles. Just wondering if anybody else is having the same issue? I ordered one that early Sunday morning they went up and received it on 6/29 along with April. Thanks for the reply. My April is on backorder but i did receive the bugman/electro zapper 2 pk. Hopefully my replacement napoleon colossus shows up as scheduled. I just find it odd that I'm having the same issue with the replacement

I didn't order him, but I've had a similar issue with the Mirage set. Certain figures I ordered got back-ordered while others didn't. Not sure when they'll end up shipping, but I've seen the Colossus Frog in store so hopefully online orders should be going out soon.

Recently got the Mirage four-pack, Splinter, Battle Damage Shredder, Ultimate Foot Ninja, and the new Toon April.
The Mirage turtles are SO nice. They're considerably larger than the original Mirage set, but the style is so cool and straight off the page of those later comics. Splinter is tiny, but he's a nice figure. The included Mouser is really nice, too.
Shredder wasn't one I expected to like as much as I do. I missed out on the old SDCC Shredder/Foot set, and never got the recolored Shredder from a little while back, so this is my first Mirage Shredder in color. The figure is nice though, I heated and popped the head off the neck on the helmeted head so that I could display it just as a helmet rather than having the neck sticking out.
The Ultimate Foot Ninja is a relatively plain looking figure, but the amount of accessories is INSANE. I'm gonna try and grab at least one more.
April is great. Such an improvement over the first version. Most of her accessories are the same as the old version, which is fine since so many people missed that one. I might try to put one of the new heads on the older body, not sure if it'll work but it's worth a shot. Either way, I think the old figure is gonna end up as permanent driver when the van finally hits.
Lastly, I saw four sets of Casey Jones/Foot Soldier in Target about a week ago, so anyone who missed that set a couple years back will hopefully be able to snag one now for retail price.

Lucky you got april. I've already had to approve 3 delays so I'm figuring it will eventually be canceled. If it officially goes up Friday I'll order another as a back up unless it sells out in 3 seconds like the baby turtles accessory set lol

He said that, as far as he knew, no NECA stuff was part of the summer geek out.

Either way, hope your back order gets filled.

So I stumbled across this really cool Playmates ad from the 1993. Its advertising TMNT and Star Trek... i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~~QAAOSwnqtemOfe/s-l1600.jpgQuestion: What is the robot/mech thing above Bebop and Rocksteady, next to the TMNT 3 figures? The other half of the ad mentions ExoSquad. But I cannot find an ExoSquad toy that looks like it. Or it it another TMNT toy?

Giant Krang and suited Casey Jones has me excited Suited Casey is not what I expected to see but I absolutely need it haha. Mirage Baxter looks great too. Looks like each turtle will get an Ultimate release too. Good way to get them back out for new collectors, although I’m positive that people are gonna moan about it.

NECA previews were great. Giant Krang, multiple Usagi figures, two versions of Perry, the Shredder throne, and all the Last Ronin. I got the Keno bundle already but the tryout version of him was a nice unexpected surprise, as well.
I'm sure I'm a broken record, but still really hoping we see Vanilla Ice. Him, Page Turco April, and Tatsu are just about the end of the road on the movie figures. Maybe since they did the Turtles from 3, and they have Koteas, they do Whit. Randy has always been really resistant on the third movie, I think for obvious reasons, so I'm not sure I expect him to expand on that film too much. But the Whit would be an easy one, and I think people would buy it.
Anyway, very happy with the preview setup. So anything else we see is kind of just icing on the cake from them.

Theres only so much you can do with toon Casey as I don’t think he had many alternate looks on the show. I assumed we would be getting this version eventually since Casey is a top seller.

It’s been so long since I used these boards, close to two decades. What’s the protocol for image posting, html or [image]? I unearthed some of my old tmnt collection and have been working thru it. Figured it might be appreciated here of all places

Figured it might be appreciated here of all places I'm not 100% sure - I believe most people use an image hosting site to upload their images, then use the "insert image" button when you create posts to share them. I could be wrong though!

Also, and sorry for the double, is anyone still waiting on NECA TMNT Loot Crates? I totally forgot I had the Cartoon Crate ordered and never got it. I just emailed them but holy smokes it's been two plus years. I don't even care about the crate at this point, I mean ideally I would like it, but it's just the principle of the thing now. Either refund me or send the thing. There are 40 Dark Dons on eBay. So I know some people have received them.

Just stopping by to say I finally added another Playmates April to my collection. Blue Stripe. Really good loose condition, minimal spotting with a tiny bit of paint rub on her hair. Legs are a bit loose but that's understandable. Stripes and "Turtles" are both completely intact.
All in all, happy to have her in the collection.
Next one I need to get is the "Ravishing Reporter" one with the real hair, although I really hate that figure. But I need her for the collection.
At least she should be easy enough to get. Not looking forward to trying to acquire the Bride of Frankenstein one....

And people thought $400 for a giant stage with two figures (potentially 5) was overpriced. $300 for this is insane.
