ughrora Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Super happy right now! I finally found this figure! I have the original variant. This variant is really rare. I've been looking for her for years, and I finally found her yesterday on Mandarake! I can't wait for her to arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 OK more TMNT to add and these ones are gaming related. I don't think even @Devil_Spooky has these guys. I absolutely love them but they didn't stand. Luckily I was able to find Paper Clamps that came in different colours to make little stands for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they do, the amount of detail is insane, it's like they picked the original suits and shrunk them, I still can't believe I managed to snag a set and are now my favorite item on my collection.

Yes and knowing how they are I am sure dozens will be on ebay for like 600$ for the whole set If you don't mind me asking how much did they cost? They are pretty damn good looking.

They are pretty damn good looking. Hell, you already can find them for at least $100 each... Not at all, I've managed to grab a set directly from NECA, $135 plus shipping. The only crappy thing was that you had to be extremely lucky to snag a set, they put a few pre-orders during 3 days that sold out in seconds (I managed to grab my set on the first day 20 seconds after they went live, they sold out as soon as I went back to the pre-order page), and then they where SDCC exclusives so you had to go there to grab them if you missed out on the pre-orders. Not only that but they where US exclusives, I had to use MyUS to have them sent my way, thank god NECA didn't cancel my pre-order because of that ortherwise there would be no way to get these unless I paid scalper prices... But these are NECA so there's a big chance bootlegs from them will eventually be released, and if they're as good qualitity as the old Mirage Turtles from a few years back they'll be almost as good as the real thing so hopefully you can grab one of those for a more friendly price sometime down the road Edited August 19, 2018 by Devil_Spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he found a Chinese Bootleg company that makes "lego" and it is just 2$ for the stand now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my policy. Companies should realize that resellers are a huge problem and instead just release more copies. I mean when I used to work for Playstation I would see the same couple of people at the stores when they open buying all the skylanders or Amiibo's and then selling them at their store later that day. I once shook my head when my Walmarts told me that they sold all of the PS3 that were on 50$ off before I even got there to put up the signage. I then told them that by doing it the way they did Walmart lost closed to 20,000 because they sold them all at a 50$ loss...they were supposed to attach software or peripherals onto to the sales to make it worth the money. Anyways...fuck reselllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they know, at least this time NECA tried to fight them off, you could only buy 2 sets max and every order they found was cancelled, but some managed to bypass that, there's this one guy on the Technodrome Forums that boasts that he managed to grab more then 10 sets to resell, and he thinks he's above NECA's policies because he used his friends to buy them for him and that it's his only source of income because of some disability that prevents him from working or so he says, obviously everyone hates him in there because most of the people there never where able to grab a set because it was sold out before they had a chance of getting one, and all because of those discusting scalpers. So for them hopefully no one buys them and some bootlegs are released, if not for anything else at least just for those assholes to lose money on this.

Well I know at least in Canada the government is trying to go after people's paypal accounts to make sure they are paying taxes on everything. So hopefully that slows some people down as well. But of course there are always ways around that as well I remember you were talking about my original TMNT reprints but the reason I got the reprints is because they were under 100 for all 4 vs like 600-1200 for an original set.

Well, those where re-issued by revoltech and you could've gotten them for around $65 each so I woud've went with those instead, but hey, not judging you there buddy, one should do whatever is best for himself, I also recall you got those before they re-release them so it's not like you would know they would do that anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the NECA mirage ones as well, but I also have a B&W original set, and the quality between the 2 are virtually identical, they did a great work with those, hopefuly they'll do the same with the movie ones. I also own a set of the old movie ones by Plamates, those are not as good, but they're not that bad, actually they're not really worse then current Playmates, as sad as that might be...

And to add insult to injury they not only won't bother to create good figures, but also prevent others from doing it. I really don't understand why Viacom won't force their hand at releasing the master license... Good news, NECA and Gamespot just announced the movie turtles will be released as Gamestop exclusives in January, grab them while you can.
