In my cart allready signed in,Took me to PayPal and sold out. Why have the waiting screen saying you will lose your spot if you never really have the spot?
Same crap as last year. They need a better system. I am not play Matty collector games here. With toysrus gone, Neca needs very very happy customers on their site. I think we have all noticed the very slow news out of randy and company of late. If it's in the cart you should have a few minutes for check out. Also it would be easier if Playmates would just sell a license to Neca to sell Collector Grade TMNT figures at retail. They wouldn't really compete with the crappy, kiddy figures Playmates sells because they would be too expensive for most kids and parents. It's not like Playmates is interested in that market and there aren't any TMNT figures at all on the pegs right now. |

I agree that you should have 60-90 seconds to check out before items are removed from your cart.

If I had to use a desktop and type all my info, I'd never get a set because of nerve damage in my right hand.

I hopped on at 12:50 and started refreshing, because they came up for sale at 12:55 at least one day of the sale last year. I managed to snag a set, so I am relieved. I have wanted these figures for so long... I almost bought the 1/4 scale versions because of the beautiful sculpts, but I just don;t want figures that big. These are a grail for my collection.

Congrats, I'm really surprised you were able to do that page hopping and check out! I didn't press my luck and I was able to score a turtles only set and am very happy. I might have bought Hawkins but was not going to risk going back and forth. I used Paypal and was able to do it, sorry for those who missed out. 2 more days!

I added it into my cart as soon as it popped up on the site, but a PayPal glitch meant it was sold out before I could complete checkout.
I'm hoping I can grab one over the next couple of days. Though if I can't, there's plenty up on eBay already for over twice the cost...so there's that. |

The only NECA exclusive figure I would even consider getting this year is Hawkins, and I don't even care so much about him. I logged into the site at about 1:10pm today mainly out of curiosity, saw Hawkins was already sold out, and didn't care. I probably won't even check tomorrow.
I mean, if we're never getting Dillon or Blain, why would I want the Pussy Joke guy? We sure have. It's more than obvious that TRU's closure has hurt NECA in a very bad way. Hopefully they can bounce back with some new retailers...if not, they're in trouble. |

Love the people verbally fellating Randy Falk and Co. on Twitter, saying that anyone complaining about the problems with ordering is just being a hater... Here's an idea, NECA: how about when someone puts an item in their cart, they have 5 minutes to put in their payment and shipping info, THEN it goes back into the store if the person hasn't paid!

I've been thinking about what I'm going to do to get my NECA fix. BBTS is super slow on getting NECA stuff in. Like, 3 weeks after the calendar says it's shipping. Dorkside gets their stuff faster and is comparable in price, but they don't get everything. I know they are trying to find new retail outlets, but I'm not going to drive all over town searching. I'm thinking I'll just start ordering everything through NECA's eBay. Shipping is a bastard, but it may be the only way. At least for me. I'm too old and impatient for "the hunt".

At least they give you 3 days to try and order these...unlike other places where it's 1 day only...

That plan clearly isn't working anymore. NECA themselves announced on Facebook today that the TMNT box set literally sold out in under a minute. UNDER A MINUTE. This is the first year in a few that I won't be ordering SDCC stuff from them (the last two were the Pam/Little Jason Voorhees set and Jungle Briefing Dutch, respectively), but I'd be fucking pissed if I wanted that TMNT set and it sold out in under 60 seconds. It's the digital equivalent of this: Oh, really? That's very encouraging! I hope they're national chains (as in ones near me) as opposed to regional ones (that may not be near me). Looking forward to that announcement! Thanks for passing that info along. |

Sure, it’s frustrating, obnoxious, and irritating if you didn’t get a set, but sadly that’s part of life when collecting.

I'd be interested if Gamestop became a new retailer for NECA. My only basis for this speculation right now is that on Gamestop's website they have a good number of new NECA items up for pre-order. Gamestop used to stock their online store with NECA stuff but for a couple of years now they haven't so I'm wondering if the return of them offering NECA online may be possibly related to them offering NECA in their stores in the future. Other chains I'd be down with carrying NECA would be Target or Best Buy, they have each sold single items from NECA lately so I could see that being used as a foot in the door for more.

I completely dropped the ball. Had everything in the cart was checking out and typed in my card wrong not once, but twice, and on my third pass I went to paypal and got the outta stock notice. But I'm hopeful for tomorrow.
Least I got my GDT I really wanted. |

Target would be great as well, as they've also been carrying more and more stuff for collectors recently. Barnes and Noble has also been greatly upping their toy/collectible inventory as of late. Who knows? Last edited by Dolemite; 06-06-2018 at 08:24 PM.. |

The only Barnes and Noble store in my area is a thirty minute drive away assuming traffic's at a minimum so while it would be cool for them to carry NECA it wouldn't help me.

I'd pay a few extra bucks to be able to hand-pick my figure and not have to enter the online derpy-eyes lottery.

Got it! Sold out in a minute again, but I was able to snag one today thankfully.

Just watched Day 2 for the heck of it. The figure set w/o dio sold out in 1:40. I also saw how many were available. NECA doesn't disclose, so I'll respect that, but it's not a very small number. The trick is to enter 99999 (or probably any number greater than 5000) into the quantity field and hit "add to cart". A red bar will pop up and tell you the number on how many it's possible to add. It's a trick I learned on the old Graphitti Designs website.
