Neca really needs to figure out how to get product to customers who want to buy it.
I understand the difficulty, but holy hell...buying a stupid figure shouldn’t be this difficult |

Why wasn't this made to order to Tokka and Rahzar? Missed out once again. So much for Neca "doing better" now.

It is still supposed to be in stores, they just put product on their website this time instead of Wal-Mart's garbage one.

Wow I am really amazed that he actually sold out. I was able to get one thankfully. The 49.12 is so worth it for this figure. I am wondering, is he going to be shipping out now or at a later date? They have never really said.

I was going to buy one, but the only shipping option was $23? No way.

Agreed that is some nonsense shipping. It's a $50 figure and I don't know if it's a $50 figure. This is only happening because we can't trust Walmart to put this product on shelves. Then the thing sold out in 6 minutes. I got an order in but the trick is actually getting the item. As of this post though it's no longer sold out. I wonder if NECA has a system in place that tripped when it wasn't supposed to. I think what happened first with the carts is that the system wasn't recognizing the item. It wasn't actually in the cart so you couldn't check out. |

Managed to snag one during the restock, but 20 for shipping is really stupid. Whatever, at least I got one I guess.

The Fedex shipping in the US is all over. Some are only paying $10-13 while others are playing $20 plus.

Neca most likely worked out a shipping rate directly with FedEx for them, whereas this guy was handled like any old FedEx shipment.
I work shipping for a medium sized company and get better rates from them than this for larger items. Neca should have a FedEx rep who can negotiate shipping costs for them...Whoever is working sales at Neca needs to start making some calls Last edited by name; 08-10-2020 at 11:16 AM.. |

Damn. I forgot all about this. By the time I got back to my computer, it was already too late.
You know, maybe this line (for me) is just not meant to be. I collect alot of $hit - perhaps it's time to cash in all my Neca toys and that TMNT diorama set that's gathering dust in the corner. I dunno. (shrugs) Last edited by RedisPower; 08-10-2020 at 11:25 AM.. |

I totally forgot about it, being on the west coast, I always screw up the time difference for things like this.

I thought the same thing. Paid $23 to ship the 2 pack and $27 today for Shredder.

Because this figure was already made and shipped from overseas. Too late to really change much. The TnR pack was just ready to be produced so that is why they did the one week order cause they were ready to go at the factory, they just needed a number to make. That's why the TnR pack order window was so short notice.

FFS, completely forgot. Even set an alarm on my phone, which of I didn't have on me at the time, of course. Really want this figure. Please re-stock!

Only $18 to ship to Australia. I don't get how it's cheaper to ship internationally. It's possible that the high charge is to encourage you to buy locally or a requirement to not undercut Walmart. That's probably being too generous. Either way when it's cheaper to ship to the other side of the world than within your own country something is not right.

I thought they fixed the bot issue but I guess not when one account has 5+ eBay listings posted. I understand this was not a pre-order but why do what they did with T&R which was received so well to now go back to square one. Hopefully they do another run where collectors can pre-order like the T&R pack.

Do we have any idea of when this is actually supposed to ship?
I couldn’t find the actual release date anywhere online, just the order date. |

So for those that missed Super Shredder it is up on Popcultcha for pre-order and even with the mark up I still paid NECA more because the shipping was ridiculously expensive. Could have gotten it cheaper marked up and shipped from Australia. Great job NECA.
