That plan clearly isn't working anymore. NECA themselves announced on Facebook today that the TMNT box set literally sold out in under a minute. UNDER A MINUTE.

This is the first year in a few that I won't be ordering SDCC stuff from them (the last two were the Pam/Little Jason Voorhees set and Jungle Briefing Dutch, respectively), but I'd be fucking pissed if I wanted that TMNT set and it sold out in under 60 seconds. It's the digital equivalent of this:

Oh, really? That's very encouraging! I hope they're national chains (as in ones near me) as opposed to regional ones (that may not be near me). Looking forward to that announcement! Thanks for passing that info along.

I have to side with Neca on this, because demand on these was never going to be seen as fair. 5000 could be sold in San Diego alone, but they are splitting it up, which I believe is more than generous. If it were San Diego only, I wouldn’t even try. With this, I tried and got a set. If I didn’t, I was prepared to wait a year and get them on eBay once the fever went away.

Neca is doing what they do because it’s proven to work. Sure, it’s frustrating, obnoxious, and irritating if you didn’t get a set, but sadly that’s part of life when collecting.
