I went on vacation back home to California last week. Saw the Classic line at Toys R Us, had no idea they were even a thing. Maybe 3 full sets. At almost 19 bucks a pop I didn't want to buy all four, got Raphael because he was my favorite. Went back the next morning for the other three, they only had Don...
It took me a trip to Frank and Sons, and 4 more TRU's to finish the set. They're all incredible, and if we don't get at least a classic Shredder, Rocksteady, BeBop, and Foot Soldier then Playmates can rot.
Also really want an April, Splinter, Krang, and Baxter Stockman.
Aside from that though honestly I'm not sure how much shelf space I'd have for the Casey Jones' and Yojimbo and the like. Ratking maybe.

I was at Target today for a new router.. went down the toys isle, mostly looking for stuff for my niece. strolled down the boys toys isle to see if they had any good WWE figures. After seeing nothing but Randy Ortons and John Cenas, I started out of the isle, but stopped at the TMNTs. Unfortunately, they only had the Nickelodeon ones.. Probably would've bought one of the classic Turtles. The Nickelodeon Splinter is incredibly ugly and a horrible figure.. is that what TMNT has become?

For anyone who mods or customizes, the Nick Turtles are now being assembled using a larger ball joint at the neck/head. Also April is now being pained with brighter hair and clothes.

I picked these two up about two weeks ago. I finally got around to taking pictures of them. I'm looking to complete the set and I may pick up April O' Neal but I don't really like the looks of the regular release Shredder But I might pick up the talking version at some point.

That foot soldier is one of my favorite figures from when I was a kid.

Here are the new nickelodeon turtles next to the new classic turtles. Both sets are awesome! I really love how the new nickelodeon line turtles all have different knicks and scuffs on their shells. So much detail went into them, especially compared to the supporting cast figures. Both sets rate as a perfect 10 out of 10 for me

I am having the hardest time finding classic Mike & Don. Both TRU stores here don't seem to be restocking them and I've checked the local comic book store and collectibles store and neither of them carry them. I tried Amazon but they are gone there and the TRU website is out of stock as well.

The wonky eyes on the Classics sort of bother me, but I'm sure I can fix them easily if any of the set I ordered have them.

OK, can anyone help, anyone hear when the nick line is hitting the UK? I've heard it may not be released until 2013.
The cartoon is being shown Monday 1st Oct on nick, so 2 days after US gets it. But no retailer has made any mention of the Turtles line. Similar thing happened with Thundercats last year we got them JUST before xmas.

Got my Classics! No wonky eyes! Hooray! I'm seriously in love. I had an idea of what to expect, but these eclipsed anything I'd imagined.

Are any of the TRU stores near you all restocking the classics? I've been going back to the one near me for weeks now and it's still the same 1 figure of Leo sitting there.

None have restocked near me either. I talked with the lady at customer service and she wasn't sure if they would, but said she had been getting a lot of phone calls about the figures. It sounds like these figures were a lot more popular than they were expecting.
