TMNT Minimates - it's official!

[Navaan]

Hey @DSTZach I saw the NYCC display; looks like Leo wasn't there, he is still in next pack, right? And Baxter is still in the third? And another foot soldier?

[DSTZach]

Yes, the Leo we had was an old prototype, with the wrong head and no weapons, so I just put it away. And I could not find Baxter or a second Foot soldier, sadly. Really, these are ALL old protos, so we're lucky to still have any of them.

@DSTZach Any info on when the Last Ronin sets will release? I know sites with pre-orders available state a Fall 2023 release but was wondering if there was more specific info on the timeframe. 

[SCW]

Have two sets been released already or only 1?

Just one. Technodrome will be next.

Only the Blimp set has been released. The Technodrome set is up for preorder, and the Party Wagon set hasn't been solicited yet. 

[AugieWargo]

Any word on when the Technodrome is supposed to be coming out?

I believe the original estimate was the first week of November. However the set was not listed in the latest report from Diamond of toys "on the water" from the factory, so that means it is at least a month away.

Can I please ask if anybody has a spare- TMNT Nickelodeon translucent Donatello SDCC 2017 - & ask if they would trade for it or sell it ? PMs please.

Thank you

I myself only have a loose one with no bo staff. I wish I'd taken more before I delivered the remainder to Nick, then everyone here would have had a chance to get one. I take full responsibility.

Yay! I’ve got a few Loose Fridays worth of mates coming to me with the Last Ronin which I’m quite excited to finally get.

We got the latest "on the water" report from Diamond, and we expect both upcoming TMNT sets (Technodrome and Last Ronin) to arrive in late December!

So no birthday gift for myself this month; lol.

It appears I will have to settle for my own Christmas gift instead.

[DSTZach]

Last Ronin MM are in the warehouse. They may ship as early as next week, we'll see tomorrow, I think. 

[Trekker 42]

I’ve got so many Minimates waiting to ship with that Ronin set. It’s about to be a tidal wave.

If naut, buoy will you be unhappy!

[DSTZach]

They will be on sail 12/6. Sub to our newsletter for updates. Water you waiting for? 

[buttheadsmate]

12/6 ? Can you be a bit more Pacific ? 

-beachhutsmate  .....your favourite chum 

[luke314pi]

Just got confirmation that they are arriving here next Tuesday, and I am sea-riously excited!

[HellfireSamurai]

....... Both happy & mildly irked at this news. Looking forward to buying a few sets yet irked since I had diverted the funds originally intended for them towards the D&D sets at my LCBS this past weekend after hearing Ronin was delayed to late December. Time to juggle things around again. Lol

At least on the plus side this means I can pick up some sets around the same time I go in to get issue #1 of TMNT Last Ronin 2: Re-evolution .

Yay shot! Also the packaging for this set is beautiful:

 

[DSTZach]

Now that Barry does most of the MM packaging himself, I don't always get to see it before it goes out, but that looks fantastic! Can't wait to get mine...
