Money is not my issue, never has been. Availability is the issue, toys are a hobby. A hobby can be expensive, but should be relaxing. Hunting for these neca turtles is not relaxing. They are also about half the size of super7 turtles classics. That with the fact my attachment is to the toys and not the toon. Neca should have worked harder with target for a preorder that works. I put up with mattycollector for years, running to stores everyday for 20 years and many other exclusives hunting. Having to buy 1 or 2 sets on eBay would be ok. But this series turned in to an eBay only line with all sets. When someone like me walks, that says something....there are a lot of collectors like me. I live near buffalo and Niagara Falls there are roughly 10 targets in my driving area. I find nothing. I have called targets, they lost interest. The guys that work the electronics section at my closest target said they hope the neca section just goes away. They are sick of dealing with the lack of product and disappointment of customers. They seem to be funko guys themselves, but they soured on neca fast. Every target I check, the neca section is a rats nest. Crap everywhere. I used to clean them up when I visited but I gave up because most of them have nothing on the pegs anyway. Those target ambassadors by me, suck. So yes, super7 is more money, but less stress and more inline with my nostalgia. I like the idea that my super7 turtles will fit on with thundercats and he-man classics. When I was a kid I was in love with the fact That turtles had the same body as motu.

Anyway. I hope neca gets this under control. If they get these on an actual preorder maybe I’ll jump in....but honestly, I’m out of space and they lost their spot.

I also want everyone to know here i in no way wish this line to end. I hope it goes for a long time and those collecting get what they want. I just personally am done. I have also carefully read and thought about all of your posts, please don’t think that I dismiss them, I don’t. I take criticism very well, if someone has a better or easier way, I’m first to jump on and admit I was incorrect. So thank you for all of your thoughts. Good hunting.
