I did just received text and email confirmations of my two deliveries from yesterday. Of the reordered stuff. Not from my original, refunded order.

I was in a TRU during the landing of the Toy Biz ML MODOK wave. Saw another guy prowling the aisles. I cautiously asked "Fwoosh?" Turned out to be Industrial. We'd bump into each other at stores every so often. Saw him at Target a year or so ago, although any run-ins are farther and...

The Cyclops/MarvelGirl 2pk I meant to cancel on Pulse shipped. And it really drove home just how much crap I've boughten(had arrived) lately. I don't buy too much ML these days, but I do need to rethink just what I preorder. So I'm not caught surprised by items shipping. And with so many...

I assuming Acroyear will be in wave 3. I'll be surprised if the line goes past wave 3. Can never tell with Super7. Amazon had wave 1 on sale for about $15 during their Amazon Day sale. I'm assuming they'll be marked down again for the holidays. Maybe I'll crack and order them, as I'm not...

So...everything I ordered showed up. Initial order of Leo, Mikey, and Donnie arrived via 2 shipments. This was refunded to me when it was labeled as arriving to the wrong address a week+ ago. Second order (replacement for first order) and third order (Raph) also arrived via 2 shipments...

Thankfully, anything I want to army build beyond a couple of figures has already been made in the line. I suppose some comic inspired Cobra Troopers would be tempting (with yellow harnesses and red face mask). All the specialist Vipers have a cap for numbers for more. Maybe 3 at the most, but...

By the very nature of the game (unless you're playing tabletop), the game is all on paper and verbal communication between friends. It's not even really visual. And about creating your own characters (even though you can play as pre-existing ones). So it seems like a hard thing to merchandise...

Are the WM/NECA shipments for these only using FedEx? Or should I be on the lookout for other companies potentially delivering these?

I wonder if the Ghost Viper will be a Black Friday special, if they're shipping that many to (some) stores.

Yeah, they'll release it in a different color. I'm thinking some reddish. And they'll be bringing the Jersey Devil to any conventions they attend. And potentially having an in-stock of any leftovers they have. So there will certainly be another chance or three of getting a Jersey Devil down...

I think people expecting merchandise for the 80s animated D&D cartoon to be big sellers were just overselling the appeal of that cartoon. Certainly those of us growing up at the time remember it. However, it was only 1 season of 20-something episodes. The show didn't have tie-in toys to help...

It's almost as it these are blind boxes. You really don't know what you're going to get until you open your shipment box.

I think you mean this Monster Squad.

I head the peg at the base of the neck is more universal than at the head. So it's suggested you can swap necks and up on figures. Maybe not early ones in the line but they may have made the peg at the base of the neck more universal in size.

I think it's a combination of what altcunningham and RickNerdsLife mention. When 2012 TMNT came out, it has been a few years since the previous show, 2k3, aired. So there was interest in having a new TMNT show. It seemed like it had been a while. The turtles themselves in the toyline...
