They're listed on the website as an ETA to the warehouse of 2-4-20. Bigger news is that the price on these has apparently gone up to $29.99 each. Not sure if that's a website mistake or what, but that's concerning. I know there's a wave of price increases coming for most toy lines this year, but a seven dollar jump from last year is pretty big hugging beans. I noticed that when I paid them off. That’s something I’m definitely going to look into once I actually get them. If they release at the usual 22-24 each, I’m going to see about getting the difference back. Oh yeah, in your case, I'm sure they'd refund the difference. Would be a real slap in the face to think you had paid them off, and then when you try to pick them up, they tell you that you still owe 20 bucks though. I'd be pretty pissed off. I know they had already bumped them up to $24.99 when the preorders first came out, and I figured that was either Gamestop trying to milk the cow because of how hot the first set was, OR, it was taking the 2020 price hike into account...but then out of nowhere the price jumps to $29.99. I feel bad for peeps who wanted to army build Foot.

So I was at my local Target yesterday looking for Bebop & Rocksteady. A lady was there with a paper and pen checking stuff off. She saw me and asked "You looking for that Bebop set"? I was like yes I am. She told me to give her a minute and she left. Came back out with a cart full of Neca figures and had a set for me. I told her how I had hit several Targets looking for this, so she just said "Well Merry Christmas". So I left a happy man. I’m jealous, when I was lucky enough to bump into the neca rep in my area a couple of Friday’s ago and she informed me she stocked the shelves on Tuesday but didn’t put out one bebop set. I asked why and she said it was random which I responded was odd considering it’s the only set I haven’t seen and these are impossible to track, she just shrugged her shoulders and told me to keep checking. I let he know I was there on Wednesday and there was nothing left by the time I got there in the early afternoon. She let me know that these will continue to be stocked and not to worry, but the content running out of the way to check several targets is already getting tiresome. If anyone happens to come across this set with the sale going on and wants to pick up and extra Bebop and Rocksteady set for a fellow collector it would be greatly appreciated!

Randy said they’ll be restocks through February. I’m guessing scalpers who can’t sell them on eBay will do some returns, too. I definitely agree with the frustration of checking over-and-over but at least we know more are coming.

From my understanding Brickseek won’t work for these since they are stocked by a Neca Rep and not the regular Target employees. I may be wrong but I’ve read that multiple times with the first and this current wave.

Black Rose Antiques in the Phillipsburg Mall (1200 US-22 Suite 700. Phillipsburg, NJ 08865. (908) 859-6083. Monday through Saturday 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. Sundays 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm., Warren County) will be closing at the end of March. They have lots of vendors who are having great sales. Toys, records, magazines, furniture, occult, and just about anything else you can think of.
While there, stop at the local Odd Lot, Wal-Mart & Target.
Just a heads up.

Here are the new NECA sets. I'm really not happy that April and Casey aren't coming together in a set knowing they are coming with more Foot instead. These packs are $52 a shot. All due respect to army builders, that's a horsesh*t move by NECA. They gave us Rocksteady and Bebop together, Krang and Shredder are coming out together the way they should have originally. There is no reason April and Casey couldn't be packed together. Put the Foot Soldiers together in a pack again for the people who actually collect that way. toynewsi.com/news.php?itemid=35251&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

I dont collect the NECA turtle figures and im going to collect the Super7 releases instead. How come both companies have the license? Seems weird that NECA are releasing the cartoon figures and Super7 intend to do the same. Can someone clear that up for me please?

really sucks about Casey & April not being together, but luckily I dig the 2 foot soldiers, I totally understand why people would be pissed though. Can't wait for Leatherhead and Slash. They also announced on Twitter that they'll be doing "Ultimate" sets of Android Krang (YESSS), Metalhead and another Foot Soldier.

It might be the case where they do a re-release as a set with the two of them in a year's time, like they just did with Krang and Shredder. The good news you might be able to take advantage of is, the people who want to army build are most likely gonna be willing to buy the Foot figures off you, so you won't be at a complete loss. Maybe a little silver lining in there, at least. I dont collect the NECA turtle figures and im going to collect the Super7 releases instead. How come both companies have the license? Seems weird that NECA are releasing the cartoon figures and Super7 intend to do the same. Can someone clear that up for me please? I believe the technicality is that Super 7 is doing updated versions of the Playmates line - if you look at their figures, they're modeled way closer to the original 80s toys than they are to the cartoon animation. I believe that's the reason a few companies at a time can hold one property license.

I don't follow this line that closely so forgive me if this is common knowledge, but have NECA addressed the lack of Splinter in their classic TMNT cartoon line? He's now the only core character that hasn't been done and I find it a bit odd that they're already powering ahead with Slash, Leatherhead, Metalhead, the dinosaur guy, etc. Where's Splinter?
I've been annoyed in the past by the rather pathetic depth of Playmates and Tamashii Nations lacklustre attempts at a classic TMNT cartoon line (i.e. barely getting beyond the 4 Turtles then giving up) plus I dropped mega bucks on First Gokin's Krang too, so as promising as NECA's attempt appears so far, i'm reluctant to start buying yet another classic TMNT cartoon line before ALL the core characters have been released.

We will more than likely see Splinter at TF in about 40 days. I don’t think there is any conspiracy behind it. I just think he wanted to breakup core characters over the 2020 waves and April and Casey got first billing. Plus, movie Splinter is dropping next month. So this way creates space between Splinters. We will have 2 versions of the Turtles, Krang, Android Krang, Shredder, Rocksteady, Bebop, Casey, April, Splinter, plenty of Foot, and a handful of bad guys by this time next year. Doesn’t seem like any of the new stuff is in danger of not coming out. These are doing extremely well at Target.

I saw the comic version of the 35th anniversary figures at my Wal-Mart on clearance for $25.

Super 7 wave 2 Turtles Ultimates announced and up for pre-order Leonardo, Bebop, Shredder, and Mutagen Man. It looks like they might hit some of the obscure characters. Definitely will need Mutagen Man possibly the others. Trying not to go to deep on these.

Man, with what Super7 is putting together I wish I would have saved my money and not bought all these Neca figures.

A toy store that is big and bad has preorders for 8 new Super 7 Reaction figures. I assume these will be shown at Toy Fair.
