I’m headed full force down the 7” movie line right now, what a pain in the balls it is. I really like the figures, Shredder is still in my top figs of 2020, but locating these bastards is ridiculous! Game Stop did a pretty decent job, I still need a Donatello, but wow has Walmart fucked the dog on their end. Finally have a Casey and Raph two pack on the way but paid too much and looked for a long ass time to get the price I did. That set was the whole reason I started picking up the series in the first place though.
Target was good at first for the cartoon series packs, I saw them all in stores, even Beebop and Rocksteady, come to Metalhead and this set and its people justly screaming about the distribution.
Neca has to get away from Walmart, or offer an online store/online retailers. Its a stipulation of them even making TMNT figures, especially the movie stuff, that it has to be exclusive to a store/chain, a logistical nightmare I’m sure but its just serving to disenfranchise fans/collectors right now. Can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen trying to sell their collections as a lot because they’re so pissed off about Casey and Raph, Tokka and Rahzar and Super Shredder, just not wanting to deal with the headaches. It sucks, Judith Hoag just announced an April figure is already in the works, hinted at an unmasked Casey, and I think they’re going hard after Tatsu, Danny and Keno too for a damn well rounded cast collection! But if they don’t get the distribution sorted out the line will crash and burn.

Glad they got to you fairly quick. I was worried about a usps shipping delay. Good review Bobby as always. Next time I need to put Pool5555 on the label. Otherwise you have to say my Hawaiian name which isn’t pronounced like a Vegetable. Its one of those “Make toy,”deals. All G bro. 🤙
That shelf looks top shape!
