NECA Movie TMNT is the most frustrating thing ever. A "hobby" where your are actually trying to spend money shouldn't be that difficult. If they can't figure out a way to satisfy the demand, then maybe they should scrap the line, because the way they are doing it now with all the restrictions and the horrible distribution and it being impossible to purchase online....it's just creating a horrific scalper driven situation.
I managed to get the last two SDCC exclusive sets (all 4 turtles, shredder, splinter, 2 foot soldiers)....yeah, I'd love Casey Jones, Super Shredder, and whatever else is coming....but I can't get bent out of shape and invest so much time, energy and money into something this difficult. It takes something that SHOULD be a FUN HOBBY (collecting toys), and turns it into a dreaded chore that just causes anguish and frustration.
If I can't walk into a store and just pick something up and purchase it, or I can't easily go to a web site, add an item to the cart, and check out easily....from now on, it's just not worth it to me. It's not like they are giving these things away. I'm trying to BUY something very expensive with my hard earned money....I'm not gonna beg somebody to take my money.
With other toy lines, you're easily able to get most stuff with a very long pre-order window....for some reason only NECA and their TMNT line thinks that ONE DAY for 5 seconds is enough time to satisfy their customers who want to buy their products.
So from now on, I'm of the mindset that with NECA TMNT stuff, if I can get it, great, if not, it is what it is.

this NECA business is so crapty. just nothing at any store, and scalpers buy everything anyway so whats the ing point? dont these companies and retailers realize that by doing things this way all they are doing is rewarding people who dont even WANT THE STUFF they are selling why do they make so little amounts of these things? every store only gets 2 sets? come on, thats absurd. mattel does the same thing with these wrestling figures. most walmarts are getting 1 case of an elite series and thats it. its ing ridiculous. but then they overload the stores with crap that nobody wants for the "just in case little billy is walking through the store and wants an AJ styles figure" the toy sections are a mess, the crap is everywhere....why are funko pops in the electronics aisle with NECA toys? i miss toys r us so damn much. I say the same thing all the time. I never had any issues finding anything neca when toys r us was around. From dead space, resident evil, gears of war, etc I never had to pay scalper pricing. There was a toys r us up the street from me and 2 within the vicinity of my house. There’s also a target and wal mart close to my house but their toy/collectibles section is an absolute joke.

Scored the Movie 2-packs today at one my WalMarts. Pretty pumped up about it. Boxes were in mint condition just sitting on the convoluted mess that is WalMart’s collectible shelf.

I had somebody hit up the 3 targets near me in philly and not a single thing, I’ll probably end up paying scalper prices as usual if I want any of them.

What protective cases are you using for those figures? Been looking for some myself as I would like to display the set. Thanks

I’m about done with NECA TMNT anyway. I don’t need to go deep in the lineup. Once everything that’s already been announced comes out I’ll be set. It won’t be a big deal if I don’t get the Secret of the Ooze characters. Super Shredder, Toka, and Razar look great but that movie blew. As long as my preorders with Zavvi goes through I’ll have toon Casey, April, and Metalhead. Android Krang is pretty much the only thing that I need to secure. I don’t do the video game figs other than the two SDCC sets. I keep going back and forth on the Concert Tour figs. It’ll be a cool display piece but I have no nostalgia for em.

I'm just about fed up with NECA too, I still want both Casey's, and I really wanted Slash & Leatherhead, but its becoming less likely its going to happen. I'm not going to go searching different Target's & Walmarts in the middle of a pandemic just to NOT find these on the shelf, and forget about ordering online because it's sold out before it even hits the site somehow. It's kind of amazing that Gamestop of all places somehow handled getting these figures out to people better than anyone so far. With all that being said, if some how I end up with all of these toon & movie figures at retail price, I'll be ready to be sucked in again.

They make it near impossible between exclusivities, bots taking all the online stock, and third parties stocking their products with no set time to schedule on when they’ll have them. Also, one of the subreddits I follow brought up a good point, what’s stopping the stocker from just buying them all up and flipping them on eBay?

I preordered Casey/Raph, Casey/Foot, and April/Foot from a Canadian store back in May. I figured any online ordering through Wal-Mart or Target would be complete BS. Even in store, the Walmart by my job had stock of the Casey set according to brickseek, but nothing was on the shelf. I left without asking since I had a preorder,then I checked about two hours later and they were sold out. I held off on preordering Metalhead and Slash/Leartherhead because the Target sets haven't been too difficult to find at my stores.

I lucked into the Casey/Raph set and fell in love with these. Between marino13 and myself, I've been able to snag five foot, Splinter, and Shredder. Thought the movie packs would be a quick grab this morning. Boy was I off base on that. Had them in my cart, could not click the "checkout" button, then they were gone in, from what I've been reading on their Twitter, less than a minute. Sucks.
