Donny B Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Turtle bases are manhole covers. All others are clear. This alone makes working on a Monday endurable Quote
youbastards Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 Zach, is TRU only carrying the 2-packs, or are they still doing blind bags too? Quote
Josh2382 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 MANHOLE COVERS!?!?!?!? MANHOLE COVERS! That's phenomenal. Question since I have little idea about the new show-Do they all still have the same weapons as usual and is Donatello's bo staff only sharp now? Quote
Ninja Mate Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 The two-packs do not have more accessories, they just have the keychain attachments. Turtle bases are manhole covers. All others are clear. Manhole covers for bases are awesome! this is great. I love the manhole covers stands on the classics line. Quote
arnim zola Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 So now Hulk can Smash with a manhole cover! Awesome. Quote
DDM101 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Donnie uses his Bo both with and without the blade in the new toon. Leo still has katana, raph has his sai and mikey has nunchucks and a Kusarigama. Quote
Donny B Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Manhole covers for bases are awesome! this is great. I love the manhole covers stands on the classics line. On that note, Zach, can you tell us if the manhole covers are all the same design, or will they be like the Classics line which has each Turtle's name on their respective bases? Quote
Mnemosis Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 The two-packs do not have more accessories, they just have the keychain attachments. Turtle bases are manhole covers. All others are clear. Holy. Shit. Quote
force2099 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So.....when are these going to be released? Quote
Onyx_6 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Any chance they will be in K-marts this Friday? I may be by one (two, if you count the one that is closest to me which is now closing) this Friday.... How will the TRU pack out go, Zach? There are 9 figures at Specialty shops, which do not fit nicely in 2-packs. And you are putting a clear green turtle in a 2-pack? Edited October 21, 2014 by Onyx_6 Quote
MisterPL Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 The way I understand it, the mutagen figures will remain the chase figures of the bling bag packaging. Two-packs won't include the clear "mutagen" figures. Correct me if I've misunderstood, Zach. Quote
karamazov80 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Anyone know when the Woolworth's exclusive figures are going to hit shelves? I'm also keeping an eye open for those Lionel's Playworld and Service Merchandise releases. Edited October 21, 2014 by karamazov80 Quote
MisterPL Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks. Now I'm flashing back to Bradlee's, Hill's, Grand Way, Grants... Quote
tones Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 don't forget about the KB Toys and Child World exclusives Quote
Ninja Mate Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 and Hastings "online" and Childrens palace exclusives. Quote
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Is Ben Franklin getting an exclusive too? What about TG&Y? Quote
JediJohnson Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 And Emporium, Gold Circle, Gemco...? Quote
DSTZach Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I'm sure these jokes are hilarious to people who have heard of all these regional chains, but KMart still has over 1000 locations. Every store will get a strip of these. Good luck. Onyx, I don't know when everyone will get them, but TRU will have four two-packs plus a variant set with Mutagen Leo. Quote
Glantern Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 To be fair, several of the stores listed were nationwide stores that went out of business. I think the joke is that Kmart seems to be on the way out, given that a lot of locations are closing. Of course, Kmart's looked like they were on the way out for about 10 years now, so maybe they're better off than we all realize. Still, none of those 1000 stores are near me... Quote
Prowlar Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I wouldn't worry too much about K-Mart/Sears. The names are too well known for them to go completely out of business. Some other chain or start up will eventually scoop them up just for the name recognition. of course if they end up with a Warriors Three exclusive when the next Thor movie comes around then . . . Quote
DSTZach Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I didn't say they were all regional chains, and we don't know what will happen with KMart in the future. Right now, they average 21 locations per state, which puts them in the top tier of stores we could be in. Even Toys R Us only has 872 locations in the US plus another 100 in Canada. The chain's future is irrelevant, as we do not have a commitment from them beyond this series that I know of, and it would be premature to speculate. I'm sure they are looking at inventory, branding and a variety of things in the wake of the closings, and maybe working with us is part of their new direction. Quote
MisterPL Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 "Nude erection?" (This is what I get for having Siri read these posts to me.) Quote
tones Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 not only when, but where is what I'm trying to figure out. Target, for example...are they going to be in the main figure aisle, the endcap (where the ReAction, GoT, and Magic: The Gathering figures are), the small card section in the toy area, the larger card section in the front of the store or the register aisles?
