(must resist childish temptation to skip car payment and buy things I wanted when I was a kid...)

I'm tempted too as I gave my van to my cousin back in the day but $60 seems a bit much for me.

Total nostalgia hit when I saw it at TRU the other day. I had to pick it up.

The van is a total hit of nostalgia, just crazy. Price is a little steep, but I reckon I'll end up picking it up at some point. Unsure about the mech suits though.

I saw this the other night at TRU, and my jaw dropped. Has the cost of inflation in the US really raised a toy that was once about 20 dollars to 60? Talk about raping your childhood. Yeesh.
The price is a bit steep, but I have an original van sitting in my closet that's about half complete, (I'm missing the bombs and guns, and the spring action door doesn't work all that well.) but I continue to use that one to display my current gen turtles. Why? Seats. The original wagon has molded seats (not to mention is a lot more cozy,) while the Shellraiser does not. Even at the steep price, I'll probably pick this up, and I'm glad that Playmates is giving us an opportunity to to replace our older vans, without us having to resort to scouring flea markets and ebay for a the perfect piece. |

$60 for the van is ridiculous. They were selling the same thing a year or two ago and it wouldn't sell at 19.99. Good luck TRU!

Saw these the other day and was shocked at the insane price.
Pretty foolish to pay these prices when you can get an original for near the same. I showed them to my son because he likes the new TMNT on Nickelodeon but immediately put them down after seeing these ricockulous prices. |
