It’s cheap but it’s already discontinued, I went in Looking to see if Walmart’s really got in-store stock, I managed to get an ecto-1 through the pre order but didn’t know they would discontinue the entire real ghostbusters retro line already, my walmart recently re did their shelves and they had the ghosbusters toy guns and a bunch of empty stuff and I just got curious when I saw TMNT Basic leo, TMNT PArty wagon and got scared thinking I missed out!!!

The reissues they have been doing for the past decade just had generic cards with all four turtles, this walmart exclusive round went back to individual retro vintage cards

I’m excited for the Blimp, I missed this out when I was kid and can’t wait to buy one!! Hopefully they dabble into Playsets in the near future, I just got the villain bbts rotocast so we will see!
oh yea the old card definitely looks better. what are the playsets? didn't remember they made them. I need a brand new turtle skate even though i already have 2 vintage ones loose.

The blimp i figure will be just too big for storage, and display. Price wise it is really affordable for it's size.
 
Walmart, they discounted the Real ghostbusters line, I still see the ghost popper and some stay pufts on the aisles, but the retro real ghostbusters and ghosts just hit the clearance aisle, i bought an extra set of the original four for 9 bucks each. The ecto-1 never hit the stores, they were only sold online from what I heard. I mean I checked my local Walmart’s and didn’t find any ghostbusters retro labels along with micro machines so they are trimming extreme lines now.

They are prepping the shelves for the holiday inventory for their layaways plans starting next month but nothing retro, I know the beast wars transformers are supposed to get released next month also but I was hoping for a firehouse at least.

It’s not fair since we haven’t even seen the movie for the nostalgia to quick in
What a steal for the retro figures. they cost like $20-30 each i think.
 
My local Walmart had 2 Ultimate Caseys but I passed. I already have the 2 pack with Raph and couldn't justify spending another $30 just for an unmasked head sculpt and better looking elbows (although not double jointed like the ugly ones). The Koteas likeness is great though.

Also saw a ton of the new purple armor Super Shredders.
 
Wish I was able to find the movie Casey Jones. He’s pretty much the last must-have character for my TMNT movie collection.

Just received April, and Danny should be coming from Loot Crate soon. I’m undecided on if I’ll get the Origin of Splinter set or not.
 
Is anyone still waiting for their ship notification for movie April?
Yeah but I ordered a regular and the deluxe. So I'll be waiting for months apparently.

Yes but I ordered her with the Antrax and Scumbug toon set so don’t know if they’ll split the shipment or if I have to wait till they get the toon set.
They always say, if you combine shipping you're going to wait for the later item to get anything.
 
Slowly but surely TMNT retro getting stocked up. Not really a fan of those “Versus” sets, i don’t like the way the proportioned the villains to be smaller than the turtles when it should be the other way around

It's Playmates crap.

it doesn't fall apart in your hands, doesn't have eyes painted looking in different direction, and the paint doesn't chip off if you look at it in a wrong way. so i don't know if "crap" is an appropriate word.
 
Yeah. I mean...who would actually buy those Playmates toys? You’d have to be like...a kid or something. You’d think Playmates were targeting kids with these toys.

:Sarcasm Deactivated:

Releasing figures in a 2 pack that aren't the same scale is crap to me.
 
I like the classics line actually. Individually the figures are pretty good. That shredder is just awful though. I'm glad they never released him before. I'm still on the hunt for the party wagon though. I don't know of anyone either who has seen it in my part of the area. It's like the disguise set all over again.

All my walmarts are tracking to get them over the weekend, go before they close and right when walmart opens, I’ve seen the scalpers work their magic around those times hunting for toys.

So far my walmarts around me have been stocking up the first 2 sets, Mike vs Bebop, Leo vs Rockstd, it’s the pattern I’ve seen In the stores that have the labels for them up.

The actual carded turtles are set to arrive 8/29 but i met with actual stockers in the morning who were willing to tell me that they are getting them on the truck on 8/28.

The Kicker in the gut is that my friend originally told they were getting 2 party wagons per store, now he says there’s only 1 on the truck and it’s been consistent with the other stores inventories, so be on the lookout for that only 1.

I’ve been following this like a hawk and to be honest I’m not paying scalping prices either, the cheapest so far is 100usd, i want to pay retail for this but i’m bummed out knowing that only 1 store is getting only 1.

So whenever I take my kids to school in the morning I rush to the walmarts to see what they are doing but I’m anxious and depressed of getting left out and missing out.

I have a friend who works at one store and lives on the other side of town but he can’t guarantee me one since he doesn’t any night stockers that actually unload the trucks.

FYI Walmart got rid of some store department managers and they were usually the ones posting the stock information to brickseek so just be careful, you need to have eyes and ears and physically inspect them in store since they are literally just randomly pulling out boxes throughout the day.

so the party wagon is supposed to arrive this weekend while the carded turtles supposed to arrive on Monday but verify with the store and see. I’ve been lucky with the g1 transformers retro, hot wheels, gi joe retro and lego but TMNT fans are a whole breed of scalping.

I’m highly doubtful I will get one but with that said I am on the hunt if I start seeing them pop up luckily so far also there have been no sales of that product so that’s a good sign(good walmart employees can you give intimate details about their store inventory), not to Mention this release was already delayed about a week. This is all in Texas maybe yours works differently but I’m hunting overtime for this, once I know they are getting put on the shelves i will literally drive to all 20 walmarts within a 15 mile radius throughout the day until I get lucky, if at all.

It’s like the TMNT Neca Walmart exclusive BS all over again because not all walmarts will seem to carry them, i might be wrong but still I noticed only the supercenters have the TMNT retro labels and not the other ones, with that said some employee might just put them wherever in a shelf, I have seen some g1 transformers packed in off the wall places.

Good advice. If the van is hitting stores, supposedly this weekend, I'll check it out at both times, when they open and close. Hopefully I'll get lucky with something.

I’m doing the same, just came back from walmart and plan to go back 20 minutes before closing time just in case.
