I had logged into my NECA account, logged into Paypal, started a faux order with some Aliens thing, removed it from my cart after entering all of my paypal info, went to the TMNT page and reloaded every 10 seconds from 12:55 on. Popped up, added to cart, hit checkout, waited for new shipping to load, hit submit, done.

On top of all of this I am in Canada. NECA does not ship to Canada. I had to sign up for a 3rd party shipping option in the USA who will then ship it to me when they receive it.

Lots of loops but I had to do the same thing last year. It sucks, but in the end I will just appreciate them that much more. We will likely never get Henson turtles of this caliber again, especially in this scale. I'd rather have the headache then never having them at all.

IF NECA has put the same amount available each day, it is safe to say that less than 10% of the sets sold have been listed on eBay, thus far.

Yeah, I mean I know some people like to think 90% of these are bought by Scalpers but the reality is, they are not. You'd have to sell a single set on Ebay for at least $170 to break even (cost/shipping/Ebay fees/ Paypal fees/packing material etc). So even if you sold a set for $200 you would make a big bad $30. Most sane people can't be bothered with doing all of that.
