Mattallica Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 .... I found them thrown across the back of toy department on a shelf near the puzzles. One that had already been torn apart revealed a Leonardo. Brilliant marketing Kmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Mate Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Found these tonight. Didn't get any as they were both incomplete. Both appear to missing foot soldiers and footbots. Footbot is the only one I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looks like pretty good marketing to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 When set up correctly, it's fantastic marketing. Problem is, not all stores are putting these where they're supposed to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 That's not poor marketing, it's poor training/management. When my TRU got in the Walking Dead construction toys, they were first merchandised in the collectible aisle, then on the back end cap of Lego, then on the FURTHER back end cap of Lego, and then finally I looked up the proper location and moved them to the Megablok aisle - not my job. Truck crew didn't bother to research in the first place and our overnight manager, department supervisor, and store manager all ignored it completely. I finally got sick of not knowing where to lead collectors and took matters into my own hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 At this point, I'd be happy to find a blind bag with Irma Langinstein inside. Between Bsore and I, we have checked 5 KMarts in northern Utah and nothing so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this like some TRU exclusives where only certain stores qualify to stock them? I've been checking my K-Mart for the past couple weeks and was wondering the same thing. Believe it or not, this store has no TMNT merchandise at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I was under the impression they all were getting one, but then someone posted a pic of a store with two. They may simply not be out yet, but no TMNT merch is a bad sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) BAAAAARGGGHH!!! So the road map might not 100% I decided I really wanted to make a Ghostbustin’ Ninja Turtle and decided Donatello was the one to start with (because he’s science minded), so I went back to K-Mart, oh look! a strip let’s see... someone’s already bought the first three, skipped the forth one, and bought the 5th so they must know the road map and wanted Mutagen Mikey and the foot clan... so that means this forth one (pluck!) is my Donatello, walk up front, pay the lady, sit in my car open it up... FUUUUUUU!!! It’s Mutagen Mikey maybe this stripe had two, maybe someone pulled off 5 and decided they only wanted 4 and put one back wrong,maybe the stripe wasn’t ordered correctly... point is I’ve got an extra Mutagen Mikey (not anymore I don’t!) now I need to drive to the other K-Mart (grumble) and have to hope the strip is ordered corrected and not scattered on the ground or something.

DSTZach Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Sorry, Dr. BH, that strip sounded suspect. You may want to follow the guide someone posted about what to feel for. Don's staff is pretty distinctive, as is his back holster. I know groping is thought of as tawdry by some. Maybe that Mutagen Mikey can be a ghost turtle?

MisterPL Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 How many times do I have to tell people this?! It's not "groping!" It's just "getting to know you." Geez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty bad at feeling bags, it’s why I resort to eBay for my Lego minifigs, I felt a Turtle shell, saw the rest of the strip remained and assumed... but eh, at least he was easy to get rid of! (Also, the first Mutagen Mikey I found is already Turtle, he’s chillin’ with the Phantom Ghostbusters bein’ evil and green and such.)

MisterMiracle Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 BAAAAARGGGHH!!! So the road map might not 100% The road map is accurate as long as it's a fresh strip that was just put out. Anyone can take a bag off and put it on a different slot which messes up everything. So far I can feel the difference between Kraang/Foot Soldiers and Turtles.

Not always ,I was lucky enough that the one strip, at the one kmart within 40 miles of me, didnt have a Kraang on the strip at all, in his place was aother regular Mikey.

MisterMiracle Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Fun Fact...the little kraang head detaches from the little pink kraang body. It's a regular head and a base. I haven't seen anyone mention that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 ^ lol. was just about to, along with pics of my score last night. that's what this thread needs...more pics. and just for fun the Kraang is awesome (well, all of them are) glad to know they will be available later on down the road. would be a shame if we couldn't army build them along with the Foot Soldiers. As long as this guy comes along for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 will these get restocked or are they one(per store) and done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayfish™ Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Had no problem finding all the regular versions of the turtles...but no exclusive, Kraang, Shredder, or foot at any of the 3 K-Marts I found them at here. Um...wait...what year is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
