So they DO operate as bad as Matty.


Well I'm pulling mid shifts the rest of the week so won't be able to get them then.

I feel your pain man. If I was still a barista, I'd be missing out on all these deals. I have a desk job now so I can sit here at my computer and have a better chance, but I was buried in paperwork and logged on at 10:02 and the Turtle set was already sold out. So if a desk jockey like me missed out, I feel bad for everyone who has a job they can't just hit pause button on and go online shopping. Kinda wish they just did full production on this and the SDCC exclusives were just variants/repaints of previously released figures. Oh well, not like I can afford everything I want anyway, but I hope you end up being able to get what you're after. I'll try again tomorrow and most likely fail but I'll try just the same!

Lol, I live in NJ so I also have to pay sales tax.

That's why I'm glad I had my cc in hand and ready to go.

I was able to order mine at 12:56 pm EST via PayPal with no problem. It was actually very quick. Instead of entering my card number I just had to enter my PayPal password.

GL to all still trying for a Turtles Set.

I'm so glad I didn't have to resort to murder to get a TMNT set, though no jury in the world would've convicted me!

Man, people on Facebook are losing their shit over NECA's SDCC pre-sale.

Personally, simply signing into PayPal and making my purchase took waaay less time than if I had to put in a credit card number, expiration date, security code, shipping address, etc. Instead, all I had to do was just type in my password (your name, shipping, and contact info are already there when you use PayPal) and I was in and out in no time.

The only thing I'm calling bullshit on is the $12.62 shipping for Dutch, but otherwise I don't see what NECA could have done differently. Pretty much all e-commerce works like that...the item in your cart isn't actually yours until you've paid for it.

I did the same thing paying with PayPal for the Turtles set, but I've been on the other side before with the whole item being removed from my cart after trying to make the purchase on many other sites in the past.

I think maybe they should go the whole Ticketmaster route and have a countdown timer. It keeps the item in your cart until you either pay or the time expires.

Anyone today that missed out yesterday able to get the turtle set?

Yup. I just got one.

[OGTrilogy]

Turtles are back up for sale! Good Luck everyone!

[Nutimus Prime]

My order went through. Yay

[juggernaut209]

Yes, they went up right at 1:00 today, and I snagged a set. Looked like they went in under a minute today.

[TERMN8NU]

Got my sets

[Alucard1138]

Was able to just get mine, was refreshing from 9:55 and it didn't pop up until 10. Then told me due to high traffic that I was in line and to not refresh my browser after going to check out. Luckily it worked, hopefully everyone that wanted this was able to get it today!

[K Dubious]

Man I had the set in my cart and checked out at 1:01 only to get the message that the set was already sold out!!!

I don't understand why it makes you wait to checkout if you aren't going to get what is in your cart...

[Kayman26]

Sold out in under 1 minute, 35 seconds today.

Yea same. I got ridiculously luckily today, seeing that it sold out in about a minute. I even had to punch in my credit card info because I didn't log in with paypal. I feel bad for those who still missed out. But there should be another sale tomorrow, I think it was supposed to go from 6/20 to 6/23, but the 6/23 sale day was cancelled because they sold so many yesterday and now today. Hope you can get this tomorrow.

[OGTrilogy]

I feel like the shipping is pretty reasonable at $12. I bet if I bought something this size from Mattel or Hasbro the shipping would have been nearly double.

Now I just have to cross my fingers that my set has decent paint and the figures won't break while I'm removing them from the package. I'm a little skiddish about Neca figures because I've had 4 of my Alien figures break on me while I was trying to pose them. I will definitely have my wife's hair dryer on hand whenever I handle these Turtles figures.

$12? I got charged $10.49, shipped to FL.
Do their prices vary by state? (I know there was one adding a tax)

[Unhinged1983]

Glad to see more of you managed to grab some today

I'm still waiting for the shipping restriction to be lifted so I can order a Sewer Mutation Alien, lol. Hopefully the restriction will be lifted quickly when the event ends!

Can't argue with that logic.

[Flux Convoy]

Is it just going to continue to say sold out until the sale is live again? All the info I see is that they will open orders again today. I just happened to check on when these were going live since I had heard nothing from friends. Glad I checked. I was two days late already. Hopefully I can grab a set. I love these.
