Word of warning though, I paid for that book like 3 years ago, so even though it looks like it might actually release soon, proceed at your own risk.

Got e-mail that it's shipping soon, expected mid april.  I can hardly believe it's real.

 

I have no idea of there's any new characters or variants going to be in it, but I have to wonder if there are, would Neca be open to making figures of them?

(Forever War, I mean)

I wonder if maybe there will be any surprise drops for this line during the latter part of haulathon.  Kinda odd/disappointing nothing has been shown yet, but heck, they surprised us last time with a couple surprise items.

 

Also, got the tracking number for Forever War, so excited.

Not to doubt a stranger on the internet, but hopefully you're being truthful, because I was waiting to see just that before giving this dude $100, lol.

Some barcode leaks showed up online recently. For Archie, it includes the four-pack and Mondo, but also a listing for unseen Leatherhead and Rat King figures. Maybe just an error and they're Mirage? What is almost certainly an error is the Archie City at War Karai. That must be Mirage.

WTF, $150 for the Wrestling Four Pack? That’s ridiculous.

@nilocomic yeah, it's a shitty price, but it's what they've been charging for four packs for a few years now. I think the style guide turtles may have been the first to do it at retail, but the Mirage four-pack, Secret of the Ooze, Turtles III, and the new Punk Disguise turtles from the toon line have all been at $150.

Honestly I'm surprised it didn't increase.  Technically, the new single pack turtles cost MORE than 150 and don't come with that much.

@tenime Totally understandable, I've been in "i'm never getting this mode" for like two years, but I have tracking from Russia, and it's at customs office in NY now.  🙂

I hadn’t been paying attention to those other packs. Man, that stinks, I was really looking forward to this set, but there’s no way I can justify spending that much on it.

@catromaji aren't they $37? I haven't bought any of them, but that comes out to $148. And I do think NECA priced them there so they came out to roughly a quarter of a four-pack. They really should be less than that since they're not even as good as their "Ultimates" releases and are mostly reuse, but NECA knows people will pay extra for the turtles. Plus, people are unlikely to let 2 bucks discourage them from making a purchase.

All of my communication with him has been extremely steady & immediate, which has always made me feel a little better (of course, I hadn't spent any money yet, haha). His immediate response to my payment was "it may take a few weeks due to preorders," which is understandable, but he said he'd "try to send [mine] ASAP." As long as it shows up before the Paypal dispute period is over, I can be patient, haha. 

But man, with the "missing volume" I'd had made, and this capping off the end, I can't wait to read the entire Archie Adventures run. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
