The line is exciting but like so many others have stated about to bow out due to availability and other licenses that I like to collect. There has been way too much product out there as of late and prices just keep going up just not my salary to keep up.

Regardless of Randy’s “selective memory/ revisionist history” comment, purchasing TMNT at GameStop will always be a dream come true compared to what’s happening now. Aside from the benefit of wider releases in bigger stores on paper, Target and Walmart as of late have not been a good look for NECA.

It’s even worse when those who typically are the first to defend Randy/ NECA are doing so less and less or in some cases criticizing them because how botched this situation has become.

It’s a shame too because the figures really are great. I’m not out of the line and I don’t think I ever will be, but man does NECA make this love of collecting really stink sometimes.
