Actually, keep your eye here:

They will go live and sell out before I type out a full sentence. So check there and don't wait for the front page.

I absolutely hate the trend of EXCLUSIVES being made available for preorder online to ship without actually going to the convention. Kinda defeats the purpose.

Then don't buy them. companies sell their exclusives online, get over it.

The thing is NECA doesn't want these to be exclusive. They are just forced to sell them as exclusives.
With this in mind, they try to find ways to get the figures to more people, which is greatly appreciated by most collectors.

I love these guys. I have the 1/4 and LOVE them. So I don't really have a need for these I don't think. I am afraid I would just be disappointed if they were as good and due to their smaller size it is unlikely that they will be. I too think I will just save my money for the shredder and foot or any others that may come up. I am happy that others will get the chance to have these though that may not have haf a chance to get the 1/4. I wish them luck.

I do worry though that NECA may release more figures in this smaller line than they will the 1/4 in the future. Then I will wish I had these

metalalchemist · 06-06-2018, 08:52 AM

Well guys, good luck to everyone. (Specially me XD)

Let's be honest. No company really want to limit their profits on great selling figures like these turtles. They could sell MANY more than 5k units. They would make a lot of money on these. I am ok with this "trend" because at least we have companies like NECA going through the effort of making awesome figures like these turtles. I think it shows a lot of fan dedication on their part that they would go through the trouble of getting rights and buying molds etc just to give fans 7k units.

Preorders are LIVE! Got my order in for the Turtles!

SpasticPlastic · 06-06-2018, 10:03 AM

I got 1 of each of the Turtle sets, 2 Hawkins, and a GdT! Now I can take a nap...

webz · 06-06-2018, 10:04 AM

Got mine. Sold out in 38 seconds!

Had in in my cart, paypal going thru, then at 10:03 after thinking was all good, im routed back to my cart and the turtles set was sold out. Will try again tomorrow.

Batman · 06-06-2018, 10:05 AM

They were in my cart but sold out before I could complete. That was @ 1:02.

Oh well. Can’t win them all

OGTrilogy · 06-06-2018, 10:05 AM

2 minutes! I had it in my cart and by the time I entered my credit card info, the Turtles figures were gone!

K Dubious · 06-06-2018, 10:06 AM

I got mine order in for The Turtles with Dio! This is the first time I have ever got my order to go through on Day 1. Last year I missed out everyday until the last, talk about sweating bullets! This year I was on it and I can relax for the next couple of days.

Hope everyone else was just as lucky!

AlanThCollector · 06-06-2018, 10:09 AM

I got my TMNT SDCC 2018 Exclusive... and surprisingly my nerves aren't as shot as I might have expected.

After I took a breather I then casually ordered Hawkins. And now I need to get ready for work.

Comedian · 06-06-2018, 10:09 AM

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.

Nightwing · 06-06-2018, 10:12 AM

I had the turtles in my cart, went to check out using Paypal, it then went back to the page to continue the order, but after it was done processing I got the "sold out" message. It had to be around 1:01 ET by then.

Now I know I'm in the same boat as others here so I won't complain, but I do wish that companies who do these things with exclusives would use a checkout timer like they do when purchasing concert or sports tickets.

If I have World Series tickets in my cart believe me I'm not gonna lose them!

THE Thuggernaut · 06-06-2018, 10:13 AM

I can't believe it, my order went through! This was my first Neca store purchase and I know how quickly last year's turtle set went, but I was relieved at 10:02 (PST) when I got an email confirming my purchase

Same here. This is more stressing than going into stage!

EvilMonkeyPope · 06-06-2018, 10:19 AM

TMNT sold out as I was submitting my billing info & now I'll mad all day.

webz · 06-06-2018, 10:22 AM

I had a desktop, a laptop, and an ipad all refreshing, with a huge "DO NOT DISTURB" note on my office door!

congrats to my fellow Pubescent Irradiated Taichi Terrapins collectors who snagged a set or two. Good luck tomorrow for the rest of you!

I'm not sure if it makes you feel better but these are going to be available at the convention. The online thing is for people who can't make it. And lets face it, this isn't the typical variant or random thing that most convention exclusives are. This unfortunately is the only way to get them.

Exactly! Frankly I'm shocked they can sell them online at all.

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!
