Thundercats wave 7 seems to be going the same way.
There are a ton of TMNT figures on the market right now. Cartoon, movie, Archie comics, Mirage comics, playmates updates, etc. I think people are getting burned put on TMNT. Combine that with inflation, Super7 seems to be the line people are willing to do without. I'm sure it will keep going for a while more, but I expect to see online retailers cutting back on orders.

In my case, I only got a select few that were on sale, usually $35 or under.

GITD Slash looks pretty neat. Definitely not an essential thing, but I like the mock ups.

I love my GITD Raph (did not spring for all four bros--I thought Raph looked the best in the recolor and he's the loner of the group anyway) so I preordered the Slash, especially with the discount today.

If only the shipping weren't the perfect crime.

After being slightly disappointed that GITD Raph didn't come with his GITD weapon for the back holster, I decided to be a little more thorough looking through the GITD Slash's loadout. Is it just me, or does it look like Slash is short one throwing star? It looks like he only has two in the render and the accessories list doesn't mention the throwing stars at all. It seems like a weird thing to omit given the way his belt is designed.

Character preferences aside, Slash is probably my favorite of the TMNT Ultimates!, so I went ahead and got him especially with the 15% off.

I think everyone expected that to happen eventually. Companies don't want to be sitting on so much stock that they have to discount it to get rid of it. Combine that with the bad economy and even high end companies are cutting down on everything. Hot Toys figures that sit in stock forever on Sideshow are now selling out on preorder.

Man, I ordered the Ultimate Mouser Set from Entertainment Earth, because it was the finale Super7 TMNT Ultimate I needed to have the complete collection. I ordered it on February 6th. Here it is the 15th and they STILL haven't shipped that thing out. I like the free shipping at EE but hate the long wait time for an order to process.

And I know with everything going on in the world, shipping something out isn't as simple as it used to be. That being said........I want my damn Mousers lol.

Ordered me a backup Raph.

Prices are just low now on certain sites for certain figures. Mikey remains extra expensive, though.

Yeah, why is that? I only have a few figures from this line - Leo, Raph, Don and a couple of villains - and I got them all on sale, but I want to get Mikey to complete the turtles, too. Why is he still so expensive?

Some of my Mousers keep falling over, and it is pissing me OFF. There's something wrong with their legs I may have to inspect closer & try to use heat to reshape them. But it's super aggravating coming home from work every single day, and the same two Mousers are always on the f***ing floor.

Looks like BBTS is carrying the glow turtles. If you’re kicking yourself over missing out they’ll now set you back 70 bucks a piece.

And I am tempted...

But $70 is really pushing it.

How much were these originally through Super7? The standard 55?

I think the GitD Turtles were more than standard 55, I'm remembering 65 for some reason. The glow ups the price. 70 is less enticing. I wouldn't mind four GitD pre-mutation turtles...

Pretty sneaky sending the left over to stock to BigBad where they’ll sit with a $5 mark up until the end of eternity with little to no chance of a sale or clearance…

If these were at EE where I could get them for $65 with an influencer 10% off and free ship… maybe, at least that’s some savings over the ridiculous $300 Super7 direct wanted… if they were at EE where they would def be on sale next Black Friday... absolutely, take my $240!

But Big Bad for the exact same price as Super7 direct?! (With Super7’s shipping just divided up into the $5 mark up) FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THAT!

$65, so a relatively small markup, but considering the non-glow versions were $45 it’s pretty steep.

Technically there shouldn’t even be leftover stock, these were made to order with a month long window. So that makes this even weirder to me, and it looks worse on Super7 when they claim up and down you can only get things like this through them and pay a year in advance.

I was tempted on Slash but forget it, if I want it I’ll just get it when it eventually goes up on BBTS.
