TMNT Dirtbag with Groundchuck and Wingnut with Screwloose Direct Sale by NECA

I finally hit the point where I'm tapped out of cartoon turtles haha. I had Dirt Bag as a toy as a kid, so I'd get a S7 version, but not interested in spending $120 on these guys. They look good, just don't remember them enough.

I'm just wondering if I should commit even more money to preorders when I still have yet to receive some of the preorders I've already placed with NECA (*April* *cough...*cough*.)

In addition...the last few 2 packs (such as the punk frogs) as well as Chrome Dome and Muckman weren't difficult to find. Maybe it's the character selection being a bit deep cut and what not, but I often found them in stores a day or 2 before they arrived to my home, and knowing that I could have saved 15 bucks or more (due to NECA's shipping) kinda hurt a bit. I can still find several of them in stores right now if I looked. Not having an option to cancel orders once you are locked in also has me curious as to if I should bother.

I hear that. These look great, but I’m getting burned out on these. I ant order on my iPad. The items freeze when trying to add to cart. I did get through on my phone. But man $135 for these all together I hesitated but did hit submit.

These aren't preorders, they're set to ship soon. That's why it says while supplies last.

I ordered Wingnut and Screwloose... I have a vague recollection of Wingnut from a TMNT comic I had with those old cassette taps when I was a toddler...

The other pack looks great... but I've got to reign in my impulse buying... especially if I end up getting into NECA's Gargoyles line.

It's a combination of factors, but I'm sure character selection has a lot to do with it.

I want these but I will admit NECA and Target have been stocking the newer releases better. So I don't really wanna hand over more money when every purchase since March has yet to arrive or ship.

The shipping cost differences AND the Target RedCard discount add up quick. I'm tempted to wait and find them in stores.

Outside of the frogs, I haven't seen any turtles pegwarming or even lasting for more than a day. Even the Cobra Kai and Walmart Playmates sets disappeared quickly from the store.

But I'm cutting back on turtles as they're going way too deep for me (unless they make a standard Irma or Neutrinos). But Groundchuck and Dirtbag are musts for me. Remember fighting them in Manhattan Project.

I'm kind of just limiting myself to characters that appeared in Manhattan Project and Arcade game these days.

Should I add the chest emblem decal to my Wingnut or leave him cartoon accurate?

I debated this, as well. In the end, I left him cartoon accurate. Mostly because I'm not sure how good it would look, especially with my shaky hands trying to put it on straight.
