How was your experience ordering from Zavvi? My experience was good. I saw these on pre order so I took my chances. They didnt charge me till they shipped. Also for $60 shipped each it didnt hurt to take that chance.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a little advice and help with purchasing a set of the SDCC 1990 Movie Turtles box set from eBay. I have heard that this set is heavily bootlegged but I obviously want an authentic set.
Besides not ordering a set from sellers in China, are there any easy ways to spot a bootleg set from a series of photos on eBay? Can someone please let me know what the original price was for the set?
I know that it can be expensive purchase but I have seen some sets from United States sellers that sold for around $200-$250, and if I am patient I am hoping to get a set eventually for around $200-$225 range.
If anyone can share tips to spot an obvious counterfeit set from photos I would greatly appreciate it, as well as if it would be realistic to get a set in the $200~ish range.
And lastly, how is the quality on these figures? I stopped buying Neca figures years ago when they started breaking right out of the package, during the time of the Pacific Rim movie figures. I had heard a rumor that Neca switched factories and/or quality of plastic to save money and many people were complaining about poor quality and broken figures.
Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide.

The Batman vs TMNT 2 packs (except Leo/Bats and Ras/Shredder) are $15 on Game Stop. They’re also doing 20% off $50+ and 30% off $100+...so I grabbed all 5 sets plus the ML Venom for $130 total. Pretty good deal when all 5 sets ran ya $250 before...

That’s how I always look at it. I loved the movie, just not enough to have paid full price. I’m also wondering if GS is just trying to start purging their inventory, in general...

LostHawk05 — if it helps ya feel any better, I paid $150 for the NECA GL/Predator set and less than a week later they started popping up in Walmart’s for $50...tends to even out I’ve found. Granted I went out of my way to contact NECA and ask if they were going to have anymore of said sets to sell before I tried after market and they said no, but — that’s besides the point! I’m just happy to have em. Collecting is sometimes just about perspective.

Back in March I put a pre-order in with Zavvi for the three upcoming NECA cartoon sets. Out of curiosity, I checked the website again today and they are no where to be found. Has there been any word that Zavvi wouldn’t be getting these any more?

How was your experience ordering from Zavvi? My experience was good. I saw these on pre order so I took my chances. They didnt charge me till they shipped. Also for $60 shipped each it didnt hurt to take that chance. Thats good to hear. Having never ordered from them I took the chance as well and have the next sets preordered there.

(considering how late i am, & considering what each of those packs go for individually these days) look at it this way in retail they go for 51.99 each along those lines. Lets say $220 after tax. Gas money and hassel and not knowing if you ever find Bebop and Rocksteady or any of them for that matter. At an avg of $79 each I think you did fine.
