Aggressive negotiations and probably an extra money bag or two.

Speaking of money bags, I wonder why it's charging me shipping per turtle instead of for the whole order. I want these, but not for $30 each. Guess I'll wait to get them in the wild (assuming they ever hit shelves). Although, maybe it's worth the extra $28 not to go into GameStop.

Yay for anybody who missed the SDCC set.
Boo for me stressing out for 3 days straight & having to buy the diorama bundle I didn't want because the regular sold out.

I just get an access denied message if I click the link. Anyone else here from the UK who’s also gonna try and get these? We seem to have a GameStop site but no sign of any turtles yet.

Hopefully Gamestop doesn't go out of business before they can deliver these...

Yeah the shipping per figure kinda bugged me too, but on the site it did say they didn't ship to stores for this item. I'm KINDA wondering if that means they won't be in stores but I'm willing to bet they will be. Regardless I ordered online just in case they sell out in stores fast or aren't in stores at all.

Anyone know why Gamestop don't offer shipping to Australia and, seemingly, only Australia?

For those of you wondering about why you're not getting the option to purchase these in your native countries outside the US...it could be quite possible that there's a restriction in place that forbids them from being sold outside the US. It was like that for the SDCC pre-sale, it would not surprise me if it still applies for this general release.
Sucks if so, but that's how collecting works out sometimes... |

Randy said on Twitter earlier that "We don’t have the license outside the US or Australia"

Why do people complain when something that was exclusive is made more available?

Oh, so it’s just a different kind of ‘fuck you non-Americans!’ release. Cool.

Feel bad for you those who paid scalper eBay prices. But I’m definitely glad GameStop came through because I’ve got to have these. Hopefully later on in the year they make shredder and the ninjas a GameStop Exclusive too

I don't think that is it at all. There is only so much they can do with negotiations. That is why they are negotiations. I am sure they would love to ship these all over planet earth and make loads of money. We are lucky they got them outside con exclusives anyway. I really didnt think it would happen.
