NECA Special Sale This Friday
 

Obviously, this will be the NYCC Foot Clan box set. Which I own and is totally awesome, I must say.

NECA Special Flash Sale Is Live - The Toyark - News

I was hoping they'd have Newt in the mix, but I'm happy I got a chance to grab an Albino predator.

bought Albino. nothing else caught my eye...

They've actually added more SDCC stuff to the store. Rambo, Endoglow Terminator, and more Scalers.

Okay, so I was 1/10 right. :)

I was going to order a few of the Predators, but the $30 shipping was more than I was comfortable with for 3 figures.

Wait, they don't combine shipping? That's silly.

Yeah, shipping is the big killer with NECA. They do that on eBay, too. No combining usually means no deal for me, but I had to grab the 2010 and 2012 Predators.

On Ebay, I've had combined shipping with them. Couple months ago, I ordered 3 figures off Ebay. Shipping for that order was $11.

In order to combine shipping with NECA on eBay, you have to add them to your purchase cart first, and THEN complete the purchase. If you use the buy it now seperately for items, it will bill you shipping for each individual item.

$30 shipping for 3 figures? GTFO.

I got the SDCC Villains set, was about to order it off Alibaba (I got the Turtles set from there), but this was basically the same price. Awesome stuff.

I was hoping for Hero from the sky Ash or Newt. Nothing else I needed.

Shipping was like $32 for two of the NYCC TMNT villians sets.

Description for Albino Predator says:

"This exclusive action figure from Aliens vs Predator: Requiem was only available at 2008's San Diego Comic-Con.

Using a combination of translucent plastic and painted details, this highly detailed, 7" scale figure captures the Predator mid-cloak, before he is completely invisible.

Comes with Plasma Cannon and Battery Pack, plus Face Hugger and Chest Burster Alien accessories."

That can't be right, isn't it from a fan film, and comes with NO accessories?

Yeah that's describing a Wolf predator figure.

Like En Sabah said, Albino was a predator from the "Dead End" fan film (which has almost no screen time) and comes with no accessories.

That said, drives me crazy that CVG Jason and Albino Predator are a part of this flash sale, considering what I spent to get them on the secondary market a couple of years ago because NECA wasn't offering these on their website during SDCC at the time like they have these past few years...(this year excluded.)

Just a side note, and I mentioned it yesterday, China has flooded ebay with the KO versions of the CVG Shredder and Foot Clan soldiers, it might actually be cheaper to get them that way if people don't mind the 3 week wait for shipping.

Good to know. The last time I ordered from them on eBay was years ago and there was no combining. I even sent them a message on there asking and they said it was impossible since it shipped from multiple locations. That's why I stopped shopping there. Glad they fixed it. Now, I just wait a little bit and get everything from ToysRUs.com, since they have free shipping.

Nothing I needed as those figures are still widely available in the UK one way or another.

Re. Original TMNT with red bandannas, NECA really need to rerelease those to stores if they can. It's no good blaming piracy when everything they make is pirated within days of release anyway. Sometimes piracy is the only way to buy the items, like exclusives! Why they don't have re-dos of figures sold from their eBay store I don't know. Even stuff you'd struggle to buy right now, like the Isolation Xeno or AvP Warrior!

They either had a lot more than they let on, or they are just not selling any, but, they are all still available. I was late for work to make sure I was on right away, too. Guess I took that write-up for nothing.
