NECA Haulathon Week 1 is Live

Reveals, orders, joy, pain - post below.

Start off with pain, international site doesn't work for international buyers. Says they only ship to Continental USA. Why NECA would chose a US only based company for their international portion of this is beyond ridiculous.

Here's the link to the purchases from the Haulathon site: https://costumes.com/collections/haulathon

They have the Turtles 4 pack and Black Noir listed as well unlike Target. And Fugitoid both versions is still listed as available. Your tears may vary. But yeah, the fact that they made this so nested makes this as usual a complete cluster.

If your US based keep an eye on your email. The Haulathon site was supposed to be for International only. If history is any indication once they get this cluster F fixed up they may cancel all US orders as they were only supposed to sell to the US through Target.

I was able to get a Tokka and Rahzar order in with no issue. We'll see if it holds.

A lot of items say "coming soon" - does this mean the pre-orders sold out already, or was there a delay in listing those items, for some reason...?

I wasn't really dying for anything here but a later start than 9am eastern would be appreciated being on the west coast.

What a joke. My target had no endcap, everything was just stuck in the regular neca area.
No Ash, the only figure I want from this mess. I was told by another collector that is a regular at the store, that Ash was put out last Saturday, and of course is already gone. There was an empty shelf tag for him on Tuesday, and now that's gone too. And of course he's not on the website today either.

Fuck Haulathon. I'm not psychic. I'm not going to Target every single day hoping to spot what I want.

I know, I just need to be patient. I'm sure Ash will probably turn up again in a month or two (or six).

What's hilarious is, is that that's their endgame with these items. "Come in! Check everyday for these exclusives! And then buy something else on the way out!"

But little do they know, that most collectors check the aisle/wall, not see anything, get frustrated and just walk the F out.

Target + Neca! Another Smashing Success... Oh wait, sorry... I meant another $&#! show

Fugitoid is finally up and available

wheres the tokka rahzar pack? the toyark link is dead

It was on the Haulathon site briefly for the first hour this morning but then removed. I'm wondering if it was put up by mistake and is supposed to be offered later on. This Haulathon thing is supposed to run for 4 weeks so there will be more exclusives offered over the next 3 weeks after this.

The whole thing is very inconsistent though. Why was the TMNT 4-pack, Tokka/Razar and Black Noir only on the Haulathon site but not Target? Why is Ash, Gargoyles Demona, B&W Wolfman, or BTTF2 Griff all found in stores this week but not listed on either site?

I was lucky to find Ash, Griff, and the TMNT 4-pack locally yesterday and preordered Fugitoid on Target and Black Noir on the Haul site this morning, but I'm still needing Demona. I dread having to go thru this mess for 4 weeks in a row for even more exclusives I want to get.

I was fortunate to be in a Target the other night when the NECA employee was setting up the endcap. I grabbed Demona (who they only had 2 of). Sadly, the only version of the Wolf-Man they had was the B&W one. For TMNT they had a turtles 4 pack, mutagenmanthingwhateverheiscalled, an alien looking creature, and some Foot Soldiers. Other items included a BTTF figure, a Gremlins one, and an Evil Dead figure. Except for the turtle stuff, everything was 2 pieces each.

I thought Tokka and Rahzar came out a few years ago. Is this a rerelease? Or was it just delayed that long?

The live action movie versions came out awhile back. This is a brand new 2-pack of them in their cartoon form from their brief appearance in the 80s toon. Toyark posted a pic of it yesterday on this separate article:

https://news.toyark.com/2022/03/17/n...ulathon-462036

Also there's a new TMNT toon 2-pack of Bebop and Rocksteady in robot forms that is supposed to be part of Haulathon at some point over these next 4 weeks.

This whole event is confusing. I went to Target, just for Demona. They didn't have any, employees were unaware there was even some sort of event.

I check Target's website and the haulathon site and no sign of Demona. So I think that maybe she's slated for another week. Then I see here that some people found her. What the heck. I am thoroughly confused.

If someone has a link to where I can order get, please let me know. Otherwise, I may just give up trying.

They appeared in the cartoon????

Yep: Tokka and Rahzar - Other Characters Images - The Technodrome

Well at least they get their exercise, some of those collectors certainly could use it.

I found the NECA endcap at a store today. They had a ton of TMNT stuff and like 1 each of the Wolfman and Demona, so I picked up the Demona.

This was a debacle?

Wow, that is so weird. I hope they were better than Bebop and Rocksteady.

Anyway, my closes Target hasn't put anything out period. No new figures nor an endcap for them. Looks like they missed the memo.

I went to 2 targets yesterday and saw nothing new. I don't know if they just didn't put anything out or the scalpers got it first, per usual.

Went to 3 local Targets, 1 of them had it on the endcap. Demona's gone, which is the only thing I wanted. Anyway, it was FAR from the boys toys aisle and the movie toys section, it was in the girls/Barbie endcap. So if you're looking, you might want to circle the entire toy area!

Trust me, I did a whole loop of the toy department. There were some back endcaps where they could have put stuff out but didn't use the space. Instead it was just leftover clearance toys.

They should have called this Turtlesathon.
