    Aggressive negotiations and probably an extra money bag or two.

    Speaking of money bags, I wonder why it's charging me shipping per turtle instead of for the whole order. I want these, but not for $30 each. Guess I'll wait to get them in the wild (assuming they ever hit shelves). Although, maybe it's worth the extra $28 not to go into GameStop.

    GameStop “exclusive” of a SDCC “exclusive”. This deal was clearly done before SDCC since the listings were up the week before, it’s just annoying when they call something exclusive or limited when they have no intention for that to actually be the case.

    Yay for anybody who missed the SDCC set.
    Boo for me stressing out for 3 days straight & having to buy the diorama bundle I didn't want because the regular sold out.

    I just get an access denied message if I click the link. Anyone else here from the UK who’s also gonna try and get these? We seem to have a GameStop site but no sign of any turtles yet.

    Yeah the shipping per figure kinda bugged me too, but on the site it did say they didn't ship to stores for this item. I'm KINDA wondering if that means they won't be in stores but I'm willing to bet they will be. Regardless I ordered online just in case they sell out in stores fast or aren't in stores at all.

    Hopefully Gamestop doesn't go out of business before they can deliver these...

    Just go to the store like I did. Preorder them amd have them shipped 5o your house. Shipping was free and I have my order in. You have to pay the total up front though. I am happy to have mine on the books. Now just to sit and wait.

    Anyone know why Gamestop don't offer shipping to Australia and, seemingly, only Australia?

    For those of you wondering about why you're not getting the option to purchase these in your native countries outside the US...it could be quite possible that there's a restriction in place that forbids them from being sold outside the US. It was like that for the SDCC pre-sale, it would not surprise me if it still applies for this general release.

    Sucks if so, but that's how collecting works out sometimes...

    Randy said on Twitter earlier that "We don’t have the license outside the US or Australia"

    I always hate when they lock products to a particular region or market disappoints a lot of people and drives up secondary market prices. With that said though, I PO'd all these guys. Now we just need them in 1/6 scale and the circle will be complete.

    If NECA had total control in the matter none of these would be exclusive, Playmates is the one blocking them from doing a general release. Also the SDCC is still exclusive in that it's all 4 at once with exclusive packaging and accessories.

    Why do people complain when something that was exclusive is made more available?

    Oh, so it’s just a different kind of ‘fuck you non-Americans!’ release. Cool.

    Feel bad for you those who paid scalper eBay prices. But I’m definitely glad GameStop came through because I’ve got to have these. Hopefully later on in the year they make shredder and the ninjas a GameStop Exclusive too

    I don't think that is it at all. There is only so much they can do with negotiations. That is why they are negotiations. I am sure they would love to ship these all over planet earth and make loads of money. We are lucky they got them outside con exclusives anyway. I really didnt think it would happen.

    I'm so shocked they pulled it off great for me and anyone else that didn't get it in like what 3 seconds? this is awesome news for Jim Henson turtle fans feel horrible for fans outside the u.s that cant get it hope theirs a way.

    A) They paid a fuckton of money on the SDCC figures on the secondary market and aren't happy about the fact that they could have waited and gotten them cheaper, or B) they are pissed that this re-release will devalue the figures they were hoping to scalp for a fuckton of money.

    I'm generally never in either of those boats. I welcome re-releases of expensive and hard-to-find shit.
