Remember that they've been putting these exclusives back on the website during the con itself the last couple of years. Unless that changes this year, there's always more chances...
I missed the sketch Turtles but will try tomorrow.
Looks like they sold out in 2 minutes today. Pretty wild. Hopefully everyone here that wants them has them, and if not, there's always tomorrow.
I was able to score a set of the sketches right at noon.
I was on before noon and had the countdown page open. As soon as it went live I was able to add a set and went right into the queue.
Worked out that I was able to do it right before leaving for work.
Had a 2pk in my cart this morning (along with the Flash Gordon set), went to checkout, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Knew I really didn't need these items. One of the few financially mature decisions I've made of late. While an evolution of TMNTs would be a neat display to make, I don't have the room and frankly, it'll never happen. The set would have just sat in a box for eons.
Looks like the Mirage turtles from last year's 4pk are now going to be offered individually. Mikey and Don each come with a Mouser. Raph has a hood overlay and Casey's mask. And Leo has a bow and shurikens.
Was just gonna come here and point it out, yeah. They're up on BBTS right now.
Did the four pack come with any accessories that don't come with these four separate pick ups of each brother from BBTS?
No, the single packs actually come with accessories that the 4-pack didn't. But near as I can recall, all of the "extra" accessories in these new releases are dupes of ones that came from other existing figures.

Yeah, that is what I suspected. I don't collect much from this line, although I did go for the sketch turtles. Usually NECA keeps an accessory or two in reserve to keep the four packs special. For example the cartoon line, (which was actually an eight pack), had the 'Weird' pizza accessory that was left out of the retail two packs. Also the TMNT third movie four pack had three sceptres, and I think only one of them came in the separate retail two packs. There's probably other examples too, but those are the ones that spring to mind.
However here they have done the opposite by having the separate retail releases contain more than the four pack. It will be interesting to see whether these separate releases actually get shown on the Mirage checklist as well, (listing them as 'Ultimate Leo/Don/Raph/Mikey' say), because if they are, that will mean completionists are forced to pick them up again if they want to stay a completionist.
I was kinda hoping they'd make some new head expressions, but maybe we'll get an accessory pack in the future. That'd be fun.
This would have been a nice opportunity to do different colored bandanas.
