I'm holding out for the cartoon style Turtle Van from NECA (which they confirmed a while back is done, i.e. sculpted)
though it's still awesome to see Super7 is doing a toy style Party Wagon too

That Super7 Party Wagon is gonna be out of control. I’m gonna be broke.
I picked up Super7 Bebop and Rocksteady today, after spending all this time saying I’m only gonna be buying the turtles from Super7. They’re fun figures.

lol it's beautiful, but I can't spend $450 on it, again I'll wait to see what NECA has to offer, hopefully it's comparable and slightly cheaper.

So now I decide if I skip it, or sell off some Mezco, WWE, Star Wars, and DC stuff I don’t do anything with in order to raise the money. Knowing full well NECA will offer one too, cheaper.

$450??? I hope yall mfs are smart enough not to allow them to rob your pockets. That's pathetic. $150 MAYBE... MAYBE.
There is literally zero reason this needs to cost this much other than they know suckers will buy it.

Ordered the Party Wagon. The Thundertank was $400 and this is more intricate with the seats and accessories. I canceled my Rancor order already this week. This is a way better use of the money IMO. These are the best Turtle figures ever made to me. I get it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s incredible. Hope they do the sewer eventually.

here's what i dont understand....
Super7 is basically re-making the original Playmates line, just in a premium/deluxe/modern (whatever you want to call it) quality.
That party wagon looks nothing like the Playmates van. Nor does it look anything like the cartoon. So where did the design come from? the comics?

That party wagon looks nothing like the Playmates van. Nor does it look anything like the cartoon. So where did the design come from? the comics? I actually think it's a really good representation of the original if you look at just the base vehicle. However, the stickers are random. I have no idea why they didn't go with the original sticker set. That's the only thing that bothers me about it. I would love to hear Brian answer that question. I wouldn't mind the colors being closer to the Playmates, particularly the yellow, but that's kind of a nitpicky thing. If you look at the box of the 88 Wagon and compare it to the same angle from the S7, I think it's pretty much how you envision putting the classic version on steroids. Which to me, is what this line is with stuff like the accessories and alternate heads they've done with the figures. It's double the size of the retro wagon. So I think people will be a little more forgiving on the price when they see the scale in-hand. If you told me to look at this thing, and guess the price, I would have said $300. But unfortunately, that's not how Super7 works. We're being uncharged for the small quantities, and size of their company. I'm sure NECA will make a more affordable version that will also be great, and be Toon accurate.

Too rounded and smiley. Looks like a bus. For $500 it should have lights and sounds as well. $300 tops is what I was willing to pay, but I'm passing on it.

I was thinking about getting it for around $300-$350 but close to $500 is to much for me but ill probably be regretting it if Neca doesn't make one in the next couple years.

I’m still on the fence, the Super7 van looks great but I’m certain NECA will make one. Plus there’s a third party one that honestly looks great too and it’s around the 200-250 mark if I’m not mistaken, and is more in scale with NECA’s stuff.

that thing is probably gonna be $300 Yep. They increase the price on every subsequent release. Whatever the Thundercats Thundertank was will get something added to get the price for this one. Like I said, add more to the previous release. Other companies are crowdfunding products this expensive. I guess if it works for them, more power to 'em. Small company or not, S7 is going for the jugular on collectors' wallets (and then slowly getting the product into collectors' hands).

Still can't get a hold of a Walmart exclusive retro Donatello. They refuse to show up in stores. The other 3 pop up all the time for shipping but NEVER Don. Is Donatello the one the scalpers have decided to target and hoard? Did they all get together and agree "that one!!!"
I once ordered Mikey and got Raph. And I can't blame the Walmart ppl; they look incredibly similar. I am tempted to order two Leos just to see what I get. Maybe there is some glitch in the system? Leo does seem to be available more than the others.

I've not seen it ohmyprimus.com/udatts01.htmlUnderground Arsenal 1/12 Turtle Shell. There are a few sites to order from but the shipping is insane on this site. Other sites have it around 240 with free US shipping, ends up being less than Super7, so it’s an option. I’m on the fence because I know NECA will eventually make one.

After still not being able to find Retro Donatello, I made good on my own threats and ordered 2 Leos off of Walmart just to see what I get. If I accidentally get Donatello, great! If not, I will def take one of the Leos back.
