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.

So, I'm tempted. I have the movie edition figures Playmates did for Wal-Mart and these obviously look nicer. My question and the thing that would put me over the top, though, is how is the articulation? My only real complaint about the playmates figures is how limited the legs are.

Screw Playmates and their dumb Masterlicense. They don't even do anything outside of the new cartoon toys and general merchandise (as far as I'm aware), why not let NECA have the adult collector market? They have the passion, they make good figures, they have an established customer base. Just put "Playmates" on the box, take a cut for the license and let them distribute worldwide. This stuff sells, I see no reason to not let them do it. |

The SDCC set is still exclusive. These are single releases. It is no different than all the people bitching for the last couple years about the Marvel Legends Magik figure that was in the box set and now are singing the praises of Hasbro for putting her out as a single in normal packaging. Have we forgotten that the THOR SDCC set came out at the exact same time the Thor Legends were hitting the shelf with She Thor virtually the same, Thor slightly different, and now Maliketh is out with slightly different colors.
I went to my local Gamestop on my lunch break and pre ordered 2 of all 4 of the Turtles. 5$ down on each and I don't have to drop all the money at once. I can go pay a little every couple weeks until Feb. when they are due. |

I just get "This product is no longer available for purchase" and "One or more items have been deleted or modified based on the availability" when I try to go to check-out

Yes, me too. They must have reached the limits for preorders already. Either that or Gamestop's website is acting screwy. That wouldn't surprise me.

Wow that sucks. You'd think since these aren't available til february that they could make as many as they want to fill demand, but maybe they can only do a limited anount of them?

So does Michelangelo not have a place to put his nun-chucks on his back? If so that's kind of dumb when he always stored them on his back.

There's a bunch of dudes on Facebook whose vaginas are exploding in anger at this news, lol.
"I wasn't planning on selling my SDCC set, I just like collecting exclusives! NECA is guilty of false advertising!! WAAHHHH!" Comedy gold. There's lots more support and appreciation from fans than whining for the Gamestop deal, however. Glad to see that. |

Damn missed out on the gamestop pre-order links! Hopefully these come back up to order or let me pick them up at my local store.
I am SOOO stoked this is happening. Really liked the SDCC set, but had no chance of ever getting those. This is much better. Just hopefully the local stores get at least 10-15 sets shipped to them, and not just like 4 sets. |

Wow! Randy. You sir are truly awesome! I take back everything I said about you...you...you earned it. The exclusives are still that....packaging and extras. I have the diorama set and this made my day to read that everyone can now own these. These are honestly the best figures I own. Made well,sculpted well,painted well. I hope this opens up the cartoon stuff.
Again,I am so happy that Neca can share these perfect figures with everyone now....no one should have to miss out on these. No one! |

You should be able to, yes. I'm seeing people on Twitter doing that since they went out of stock online.

This is great news for those who wanted them and couldn’t get them.
I just hope the general QC on the indivual releases ends up ok. Some of the box set turtles I have seen (including my own) leave a lot to be desired in that department. |

I tried to go and preorder them in store at Gamestop but the guy couldn't find them anywhere in the system, anyone that's done in store know how they did it?
