Playmates: TMNT Original Vintage Series

[Super Camel]

I found all the Battle Shell Turtles at Wal-Mart today too. They had x2 Leo, x2 Mikey, x1 Donatello, and x1 Raph.

I picked up one of each.

I really hope Don and Raph aren’t one per case. That’s gonna make me furious if I can’t find them easily.

You may have an easier time finding Raph at Target. Because from what folks were reporting over in the Miscellaneous Playmates Thread (when we were all posting there instead of here lol.), when they find the Battle Shells at Target it's x2 Raph, x2 Leo, x1 Don, and x1 Mikey.

But when I found them at Wal-Mart today it was x2 Leo, x2 Mikey, x1 Don, x1 Raph. So, it seems different retailers are getting different case assortments. x1 Don every time though.

Do you need the links for Don and Raph on Target.com Norm? So you can watch for them there?

I’ll take those links please and thank you!

Sorry I'm not posting until just now Norm. But here they are for all 4 Turtles.

Thanks for the links. It’s very strange, I’ve been adding them to my Favorites list to save them, and they’ll show up in the list when I do it, but if I come back to the list in a few minutes, they’re gone. I have to find the links again but saving them is futile. That was all from my desktop.

Now I’m trying it from my phone browser and it’s giving me generic pages for odd merchandise like cleaning supplies and it’s not even Target’s website.

Pickup, Delivery, and Shipping are all "Not Available," "In Stores - Visit Your Store to Purchase," but no option to find which stores have them. *sigh*

C'mon, Playmates, you're so close to my desired improved distribution...

I take it the missing paint apps are nothing new?

EDIT: Read through the thread, and looks like this was already covered.

Poor Bebop. Wow...

Man, that set of the Playmates Re Release of Super Hero Mikey, Donatello, Bebop, and Rocksteday being on sale for $32 was too good to pass up. I grabbed that set, as well as the NECA Secret of the Ooze Shredder.

I grabbed the superhero set too. $32 is a great price, even if it's variations I've never seen or heard of. Hopefully it leads to more reissues.

Where is the Super Hero set on sale? Got a link? Thanks

Found storage shell Leo, Mike and raph today at Walmart, very surprised when they rang up at $9.97 each

One of the Wal-marts further into the city actually had the storage shells (no Don) and the Pizza Tossn' turtles. I didn't realize those guys were so BIG! I never had them as a kid. They look fine, if not a bit paint sloppy.

I have only found the Storage Shell Turtles at one Target store and that was minus Mikey. Still need to track him down.

At this point every Walmart I have visited has just reset and I was there on the morning of the reset. None have turtles in stock yet, just the space and shelf tags. I’m hoping they get their inventory this week as I would like to pick up some Foot, Shredder, Splinter, and Leatherhead.

But… I live in CA as well where people are absolutely bonkers insane about all things TMNT. I barely ever catch anything at retail, especially the collectors market things from NECA.

Still haven't seen a single retro figure at any store from either chain.

I found full pegs of storage shells at both Target and Walmart this morning. Picked up the Michelangelo I was missing.

I think there may have been a soft shelf date for these. Not a street date as mandated by Playmates, but most likely a set date internally at both Target and Walmart. Target’s would have been their reset date about a month ago, and from what I heard, Walmart was being advised not to shelf them until Feb 1st.

Of the three Walmarts I visited today, each one of them had some TMNT inventory. One had a full case of Storage Shell and Retro Giant Size, and two stores had a fresh case of ‘Elite’ and nothing else.

If I missed them, I’m hoping to see restocks of the Retro assortment wave somewhere soon.
