@bricknator never underestimate the insanity that can come over you when army building at a high price point... it hit me hard

I don't plan on going this nuts with Evil Rex but im gonna need at least 3

I recognize that pic from HISSTank! Have a couple of those Troopers myself.

In that case I hope NECA were wise and produced more Evil Rex's than regular ones.

Fair play to you guys that are going to army build Evil Rex-1's!

Evil Rex was in stock earlier today on the website so I ordered 3 (and did Paypal pay in 4, cause yowch).  I did actually see 2 of the figure at my local Target this afternoon though!  So it is out there it seems. 

Hopefully my Backorder gets shipped with this new stock

The break in this line has been nice as it's given our wallets a bit of a rest.

I just missed him online yesterday. Must be patient. 

I can't wait for the Laboratory, it's going to be so special!

Instant buy for me. Love the Sewer Lair.

And I'm prepared for the endless price complaints come Tuesday.

I don't think you'll hear too much price griping, at least not around here. It is what it is at this point. Now, if Donnie's lab comes in at a higher price point than the living room, then I reserve the right to retract my statement. I don't think that's going to happen though. If anything, the living room was priced higher than it needed to be in part to subsidize what would follow it since I'm guessing NECA would expect the living room to be the most popular of the planned sets. There are certainly folks who are all-in, but there's also probably plenty who are fine with just the living room. Doubtful there are many who are just in it for the lab without a price reduction, and I'd be surprised if that happened.

I more meant NECA's social media posts than here. 

I'm expecting the same price but we'll see. 

Well, yeah, that's social media for you though.

I'm more likely to buy Donnie's Lab, because the accessories that come with it seem harder to build myself. If they are all removable, I could spend a little time crafting the couch/chair/posters and swap the display as I want it. 

But Ramen's MUSK is still tempting. I may want something more generic to use for my Mirage or (hopefully) Mezco turtles. 

Lab is up and is $300 as expected. No cappuccino machine makes me sad. Maybe I shouldn't have expected it to be included, but I did. 

@swordagent I'm surprised by the exclusion of the coffee/cappuccino machine as well from a design standpoint. I didn't expect it to be included today simply because they haven't ever shown it and likely would have. I don't have specific memories of stuff in Donatello's lab aside from a generic table, his portal, and that machine from the opening title. I'm guessing the stuff that did make the cut though is well researched and all, even if it's not exciting.

My order is in. I'll be cramming the portal generator into the back right corner and getting it the heck out of the living room where it current resides.
