Same, though just Shredder for me. It shipped from China so I'm guessing it's going to take a little bit, which is fine since I've barely had time to enjoy the turtles.
Most of my TMNT collections do go much past the 4 Turtles, Shredder, some Foot, Rocksteady, and Bebop. With the occasional Splinter and April. I'll probably do the same for this line. I have 3 of the turtles, but I'm waiting on opening any until my Leo arrives within a week. I was going to preorder Shredder and some other bad guys from Aliexpress during their sale last week. Passed for now. I'll get them during their next big sale.
I went and ordered the duo from that LTCave place since they were in stock and I noticed BBTS removed the pages for the Joytoy TMNT. SO, to guarantee I could get the figures...yeah... not a hard choice.
Well, shit; Bebop and Rocks still show up in my PO history but clicking thru to their pages gets the dead-page display. Gonna need to find me a new avenue for these guys.
Same with my order. I sent an email this morning to see if they're still expecting the duo. If not, then I'll have to look elsewhere. Could just be a case of them not technically being allowed to sell them due to how JoyToy's license works so maybe they didn't want to advertise that fact, but whatever order they placed is still expected to arrive. Would explain why they never showed any interest in the rest of the line.
EDIT: I got a very quick reply regarding Bebop and Rocksteady:

Yeah, I dunno about the accuracy of them coming back. That sounds very corporate-speak to me, from a first-level customer service goon that's giving out a standardized response.
I got Leo in yday and he's easily the most impressive TMNT figure I've ever held in my hands; and as a thicker figure JoyToy's engineering shines such that he plays really goddamned nicely. I love the metric ass-ton of cool accessories he comes with. Fuck sakes, he comes with his own 'FlixStix' skateboard!
I think I'm gonna play a Ronin-type story where only Leo survives and so won't be getting his three brothers; but I think I'm gonna need every last other figure in this line if they're as good Leo is. Where's that Krangdroid already?!?
My B&R should be here any day now, but my Shredder and Feet have been stuck at "awaiting flight appointment" in Hong Kong since December 7th. I'm trying not to get too worked up, I've read around and seen that it's not so crazy this time of year for it to sit there a while...

And indeed, I go to check it 20 minutes later, and it's finally moving again. 🙂
Shredder was camped out at the airport for a few days for me as well. He is now in Chicago after arriving yesterday. May still take some time to get here, but it is USPS and they can be pretty quick when it's not Christmas time.
I got my Bebop and Rocksteady yesterday. Pretty sure these are my first experiences with this company, on top of the first time with this line. But it's a very positive experience. They pose very well, joints move smoothly but tight, very, very nice. Still needed some heat to get one or two things moving and swap hands, but that's nothing. I don't know that these make me want to spend the money to get any more from the line (maybe Splinter), but yeah, these're solid.
I did have their torsos pop apart pretty easily when moving those, but hey, ball joints.
Where did you guys order them from?
Yeah, I jumped on LTCave after someone said they were shipping from them already. I had orders up on BBTS but figured I may as well make sure I could get them. Mostly because of whatever rights thing is going on over here, that had me nervous.
