@robledoeugene1975 as I told someone else I don't know if I ever say things well, but I think I made my point haha. That's the one thing I really forgot to drive home, don't pay those dicks.
@eddiemorales7450 thanks dude! I usually just make it a part of errands if I have to run to one end of town I'll hit the stores there while it's convenient.
@Plvcky for sure I feel like companies finally have things figured out and NECA especially has done a great job at increasing their numbers on things to meet demand. Sure there's been things like the toon accessory pack that was way off, but other than that I've been impressed with how much easier stuff has been to get.
@noyougrowup69 I was hoping that, since the Universal monsters tmnt, and Last Ronin figures were sold single carded, that maybe the Mirage versions could too. I know it's now quite the same thing, but that's how every other company sells their turtles.
@butcherblades I have a feeling 4-packs are the future for NECA turtles, outside of the movie line. I think the Movie 3 turtles will be one of the last sets to be released as 2-packs.
@coolcomiccosmicchronic3461 I get why everyone goes nuts but I'm just getting to the point where I can now use reason over emotion. It ain't easy when it comes to turtles haha.
@@noyougrowup69 very true or when it comes to any thing nostalgic to our childhoods but as a grown kid in every way I’ve learned to be more reasonable and patient when it comes to these items. It’s not worth the hassle of wasting gas or mental energy trying to get an item that I am technically not even going to play with . It’s literally going from a box to a shelf to collect dust after a few pics and poof the new toy joy is gone lol
I agree 100% I was just at my local target for something unrelated to turtles did even bother to look. But on my way out I did see a april and that’s all I needed.
@nostalgic_nick1461 well damn man if you're there at least look haha. You got ice water in those veins. Also the toon stuff is what you have to worry about so good get. Hopefully they make a ton of her.
Totally agree! I got lucky and was able to find them at my local Target just when my wife and I happened to be shopping, but I also feel that this will be an easy secure down the road. The thing I'm nervous about is that TMNT III VHS pack next week lol
@jacobniehaus that's always the best when you naturally take a trip there and find something sick. The 3rd movie set is a whole other ball game and I'm stressing too haha. I bet it won't take them long to get them out in 2-packs though.
@Zeno4XX everything that has seen a wide release is currently sitting somewhere. Whenever BBTS gets something, they get an insane amount. They still have the Mezco turtles available... No set can replace that haha. Those are "the" turtles to have in my opinion.
needed to hear this lmao. They look great (which I'm glad since the comic line's choice in colors has been hit or miss) but similar to Zog, this seems amazing. But I was giving myself some toy anxiety over thinking I gotta hunt for them, its just FMO. (I will look a bit, but am telling myself its fine if I don't find it) Blue Renet sucked. I am fine with my red one, but it does "bug me" cant wait to see red Casey whenever we do get him.
@andagean everyone is saying they are one of the best if not the best turtles set yet. I'd be lying if I said I felt no anxiety myself, but that's just the sickness we have haha. Just trying to over come that with logic can be hard sometimes. As collectors a lot of us are more emotionally driven cuz we love this stuff so damn much. I hope they Casey comes soon!
Yeah this is one of the main reasons why people should never buy their turtle neca figures from eBay, unless they’ve been recent for a long time. Because the scalpers are really getting to people who can’t find these figures in their own stores. Luckily for me I was fortunate since most of the targets in my area often don’t have neca figures. So I would rather take my chances stopping by every local target to find these recent figures rather than shelling out a lot of money on eBay.
The only set I’m worried about it being harder to get is the sdcc samurai turtles. I scored one set of the mirage turtles last night. Waiting for them to hit bigbadtoystore for a second MIB collector grade set.
@TurtleC0mic you are right to be worried on that one haha. That one will be a whole other ball game. Thank god my work has fast internet haha. That's probably what I will do as well. If I find them I'll grab one and grab a second when it's easy down the road.
Sadly, a lot of the Mirage line is so hard to get that I am just not going to bother with any of it. Can't get a normal Shredder, normal Foot, or normal Elite Foot, normal Renet, etc. I was on the fence, but with so much of the line being near impossible to get it won't matter if the 4 pack is easy to get because who are they going to fight lol? I think they look great, but I do not have time to hunt toys anymore, they either are online for an easy buy or I just don't bother. I had to quit the toon NECA line for the same reason. I work 2 jobs so I am working from 9 am to 10 pm 4 days a week. On my night off I am at home relaxing, not running around Targets. This all moved me to just collect the Super 7 TMNT stuff as I always liked the toys anyhow. Good luck to any of you that want these and I hope you find them. I did see some sellers on ebay with stacks of these and the new April. Really disgusting as my local target got wiped of the new April by one guy too.
@jamievaughn1485 I bet there will be a regular release shredder put out at some point as well as the other figures. But you are proving my point, by going with variant colors or in Shredder's case, color and battle damage early on it's putting people off. You 100% do have to be able to make moves to stay on top of the NECA toon line so for someone like yourself the S7 line is a great choice. Yeah, you gotta wait, but I love those figures. I love the volume of the NECA toon line, but doing a 1-1 comparison I'll take S7 versions over NECA toon versions all day.
@KootenaiKing that's a whole different can of works I'm already stressing there haha. I think they'll do the same thing as they did with SOTO and drop the 2-packs shortly after.
@@bud_kleric2771 None because the other 4 packs have all been exclusives but this one is not so it very much could go online with the rest of the Mirage stuff, you clearly don't understand how the Mirage line works and are just trolling in the comments.
@briarshinn4449 I'm literally betting my reputation that it will haha. I think BBTS will have an insane amount you can still get the Mezco turtles on there and they sold out everywhere else immediately.
@wildnight8776 to be fair, it was still like the wild west of collecting when that set first dropped and they were possibly the most hype NECA figures to drop during the peak of NECA hype. I wouldn't have been certain of a rerelease at that point myself.
I'm a big fan of the Return to New York comic ever since I was a kid but I couldn't care less about these figures, to me they don't translate well into action figure form.
Well said, man. I reached this moment of clarity last year when it comes to collecting. Even if you don't immediately find that one figure or set you really want, there will be something else coming out in a few weeks that will occupy you until you do find the figure or set that's escaped you. There's ALWAYS something else coming out around the corner. And sometimes, that something else ends up being the thing you patiently waited for.
@wiltyrighteous thanks dude! You are dead on over the last year or so things have been much different. I feel like every company is starting to figure how to meet demand (if not exceed it in some cases) and if you're patient enough even something that you didn't find on the first go around could end up getting released again.
The only turtles I ever see that was easy to get was the video games, the movie turtles are meh. The cartoons/trench coat sets r never in stores so I have no idea what ur saying
@bud_kleric2771 do you know why the video game turtles were so easy to get? Because they weren't Walmart or Target exclusives and neither is this set. That's why it will be easier to get than the toon sets.
some people have a problem in that they buy what is made, rather than buy what they like
@ABCAMA yes I am just getting over that problem myself haha.
The voice of reason. Well said patience is key and let's not feed the scalpers.
@robledoeugene1975 as I told someone else I don't know if I ever say things well, but I think I made my point haha.
That's the one thing I really forgot to drive home, don't pay those dicks.
Too late……
Patience will save your bank account
@comixof2morrow amen dude.
4:15 I couldn't agree more! I only toy hunt on days I have off after I get paid. Good video brother.
@eddiemorales7450 thanks dude! I usually just make it a part of errands if I have to run to one end of town I'll hit the stores there while it's convenient.
I feel you 1000%. I’ve been collecting since 2012 and I’ve seen/noticed that each year it gets easier and easier to collect Neca figures.
@Plvcky for sure I feel like companies finally have things figured out and NECA especially has done a great job at increasing their numbers on things to meet demand. Sure there's been things like the toon accessory pack that was way off, but other than that I've been impressed with how much easier stuff has been to get.

There was actually an interview with neca and they said they will be available everywhere.
