I have no theories or paranoia but with this type of small release that is hindered by playmates they need way more out of the box thinking here. In know way do I feel entitled to this product but my toy room filled with 10,000k of Neca stuff says I get to give my opinion.

And my question, the people that miss out and get mad vs. the tons of these on eBay now....what is more important to Neca. The long term fan seems to be the one that should be top priority. The fans that bought from toysrus and now will buy no more seem to be an issue worth addressing.

Long term,Neca can't just sell 7,000 of something once a year and call it a day. They need to expand. Ticking of a huge chuck of the fan base seems to be a pour way to expand. Perhaps no run of these is better than the small run.

7000 is the number playmates allowed, which is more than allowed for the cartoon set last year. Neca said if they had their way, they’d make a set for every man, woman, and child. 1 per would STILL would be farmed by scalpers, and you’d still be complaining. There are thousands of scalpers upset they only got one or two.

These conventions are a drop in the bucket for Neca sales. I’ve been in the collectibles world since I was a child, and I know that collectors loyalty is a fickle thing. They will swear off a company forever, but be right back the second there is something they want. I bet that 4/5 of the angry mob that is swearing off Neca will be right there buying Neca product again in 6 months.

Small run is great. I’ve wanted movie turtles since I was a kid, and was never satisfied with playmates gummy movie line. In July, I’ll have the figures I’ve always wanted. 7000 others will too. Unfortunately the rest will have to learn to live without. Sorry, but that’s the harsh, cruel world of collectibles.
