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! Aw so bbc coding, let’s see if I can do this right. Lol

Idk maybe I just can’t post pictures yet because I’m still a jobber. I had an old account with thousands of posts close to 20 years ago but I can’t for the life of me remember my old email or pass info. Guess I’ll old Mack Donald around

I'm not understanding the price point on the Lair. The street level dio was like $125. The biggest selling point for me is that it stacks under the dio. I mean I want it. It's nice. But it feels double the price it should be. How was the van $250 and this is more? I'm not getting it. It doesn't even come with the tv.

That’s only $50 more than two of the sewers. I saw both in person this past weekend. The sewer was cool, but not that impressive. $100-$150 max is what that should be selling for.

I'd love to see your photos, so good luck!

If this works this is a couple hundred loose boys, I got about double this amount along with heaps of MOC figs/playsets and handicap figures lol ibb.co/br0w1cF [/img]

On one hand, I get that the cost of the sewer is enough to keep people away. I don’t need it myself, the cost and space is an issue for me. My guess as for the price is that it’s a licensing thing, in addition to being so specialized and specific. The fees they’d need to pay to license it (compared to a nondescript “city building”) are probably pretty steep.
That, coupled with the tooling - this is definitely a one and done, you couldn’t re-use this because it’s so unmistakably the TMNT Toon Lair. With the city, they can keep that cost lower because they can literally release it annually, maybe with a different color scheme, and just make money every single time. Even people who don’t care about TMNT at all could find a lot of use from the city street diorama.
I did see Ramen Toys is doing a third party sewer that has some modular parts, costing roughly $180 if I’m not mistaken. Might be a good option for anyone who doesn’t wanna spend $300 or make/buy a custom diorama.

I finally bought the sewer today. I didn't want to, but I'm a completist for the toon line and an extra $100 or so wasn't gonna keep me from that.

Anyone got any info on series 2 of the TMNT vs street fighter packs featuring Ken and guile? I thought they'd be released by now, was it canceled? I can't even find a render for them.

So I finally felt it was time to post my TMNT Collection. DCD Batman/Leonardo Batman - another must get as it was my favorite character (Batman) with my favorite Turtle. Nice, man! Really wish I grabbed these figures when I had the chance, the turtle designs look great.

I actually just got the BST AXN Leonardo, the IDW version. I've got the other three preordered on Big Bad, so I'm gonna wait until those arrive before opening them. But Leo looks pretty nice in package.

Seems it was announced at Toy Fair that Playmates will be re-releasing the 2003 Turtles.
-The Old Turtle Den, time stamp: 5:36
This isn't Neca or Super7, so I guess even Pixel Dan didn't care.
I'd love re-releases of the Turtle Tracker, Rat King, and the Justice Force members. I wonder if they will come on repros of the original cards, or adapt the retro square ones they are currently using?

has anyone seen the individually packed Mutant Mayhem mini figures in store? I’ve only seen the thee packs and not being able to get a Donatello in that set is maddening BJ's has a box set for $20 if you have a membership. I've not seen Donatello in the 3 packs and my five belows are flooded with them. My Target is totally out of the blind bags. I wasn't paying close attention but I think they disappeared right away and the box has just been sitting there empty forever. www.bjs.com/product/playmates-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-mutant-mayhem-mini-figure-battle-pack/3000000000004400805

The NECA turtle van arrived today. The box is huge, but very colorful and really nicely designed. I’m looking forward to getting it opened up and messing around with it!

Isn’t it time for playmates to rerelease some of figures the sets like Scratch, Sandstorm. Halfcourt, & Monty Moose.it always seems like we always get the same figures rereleased then they stop.

Some good Playmates retro news today: Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Movie Star Villians 4-pack toynewsi.com/216-50789Super Shredder, Tokka, Rahzar, Foot Soldier. This will definitely be an instant buy for me once it gets back in stock on Amazon. Although I get that this is supposed to be a Secret of the Ooze set, I still find the inclusion of the foot soldier as uninspired. I would have loved the Warlord figure from the TMNT3 sub-wave, making this a real Movie Star Villains set. I really hope Playmates comes out with sets of the 3rd movie figures, esp. since NECA came out with theirs. Also, it seems like the 2003 Turtle figures should be hitting soon... toynewsi.com/216-50798

I ordered the Super7 Party Wagon this week from EE. It's crazy it'll be here before the NECA version, since for some reason they refuse to ship them out even after giving it a shipping label three and a half months ago. On top of that, they sold the sewer lairs on the promise that they'd be delivered by the end of the year, which obviously isn't happening.
