Yeah I should probably wait for the classic ones too. Those sewer caps are stands I take it? That is sick.

i just saw these at my TRU, if theres 1 thing that defines my childhood its the Ninja Turtles, they are incredibly cool looking in person, the ones for 9.99 look great, and the big ones for 26.99 that I saw at TRU look great too, but i'm going to hold out for the classic ones because they just look insane, great to see them in stores though

I went to TRU last night but they only had the vehicles and then the costume sets out. Maybe they put them out and someone grabbed them to sell on Ebay, as I know 100% I have a scalper in my area since I have seen him cherry picking at TRU on shipment days, but they might not have put them out yet either. I am going to go back and check today. After looking at the back of the vehicle boxes though, I definitely want to get Michelangelo and Donatello. Those two can hold me over until the Classics hit.

I can't wait to get my hands on the TMNT Classic Collection series turtles. But everybody be warned: Even PRE-RETAIL, these figures already have a reputation for mis-painted eyes. Pre order with caution!!

Here - it's not my picture, it's from a user at the ACBA Facebook group. But they're popping up. They're looking really nice. Wow, those are freakin' sweet. I just pray to god they make Shredder too.

Went and checked TRU today and they had a pretty good selection, two of all the turtles, a Shredder and a Splinter. I grabbed Mikey and Donatello and then I picked up the 12" Donatello for my girlfriends nephew. I think they are really cool and I'm probably going to go back and grab Raph and Leo. I want the van too. I love having turtles back on the shelves.

Pre order with caution!! I just ordered a set from Amazon. I wasn't going to because of the eye problems but I decided to take a chance. If I get something bad, I'll keep it unopened and exchange it at a store.

Was told they had they had the TV Show versions at the local TRU when I was in there the other day.
I didn't see them on the shelves though...didn't plan on buying them.

i want the classic figures so bad, but I'm really hoping I don't have to pay ebay import prices, or I'm looking at around £90 (equivalent of $140) shipped for the set hopefully they'll be available here in the UK, either in stores or through mail order.... and like most other people I'm hoping they'll make more classic figures. splinter, shredder, rocksteady and bebop would be my ideal wave 2.

Haven't been this excited for some figures in a long time. These bring back good memories when I was a kid.

I really want to pick up the Nick ones after seeing so many pics. I'm not even much of a TMNT fan, but I just love the unique sculpted detailing on all the turtles and the style of them is just so badass. Reminds me of the original comic. The classics are good, but I think the joints break up the flow of the sculpt and the sculpting just looks a little too simple for my tastes, although they're a good representation of the 80's cartoon. i want the classic figures so bad, but I'm really hoping I don't have to pay ebay import prices, or I'm looking at around £90 (equivalent of $140) shipped for the set hopefully they'll be available here in the UK, either in stores or through mail order.... and like most other people I'm hoping they'll make more classic figures. splinter, shredder, rocksteady and bebop would be my ideal wave 2. toyz and gamez have the set of classics up for £61.99 mate: (remove the ***)

The Nick Turtle figures are amazing, the Shredder and Foot Clan figures not so much. I hope future waves will have a little better articulation on the none Turtle figures. Shredder's sword is to small for his hand which is easily fixed if you use the extra that comes with Leo.

I caved and bought all 4 Turtles and Shredder from the Nick series and the 4 from the retro series...
and so it begins again, nearly 2 decades after the Turtles started my love for action figures, I begin to collect them yet again, really wish my mom didn't give my originals away!

I picked up Splinter so far my local TRU got 5 cases already. there packed 24 per case. The retro ones I'm going to pick up. hard to justify these figures at 11.50 after tax in tru thats why i went with Splinter for now
