Thanks for the info! Yeah I'm hoping they re-release some of the earlier waves like april and casy not to mention the turtles again. I dont have any of the 4 turtles yet and the worst part is I really REALLY prefer the first wave when they had the darker green skin tone and now those ones are super expensive.
So far I have I've picked up the splinter /baxter 2 pack and the giant android krang. I grabbed 2 sets of each to hopefully trade with someone. I also got the shredder/ krang 2 pack and bebop and rocksteady off of ebay recently when I surprisingly found them for a reasonable price. still waiting for them to come in the mail. The main ones that I really want still are the rock soldier 2 pack, the triceratops with the 2 roadkill rodneys pack (which i only want for the 2 robots, ill trade or sell the triceratops), the 4 darker turtles, and some foot soldiers.

Maybe the Shredder/Krang and Bebop/Rocksteady packs were the ones that got made-to-order? If so it would explain the price situation...
What do you think of the Turtles in Time? I kinda like them, but can’t find the spare cash to get any. |

With those two 2 packs on ebay I just got lucky, they were still a little pricey but fair all things considered. I was doing my research and they made tokka and rahzar for order off their site and that was the only way to get em if you happened to catch that week long window which i think is total BS especially since they are not releasing them at retail at all. But if you haven't seen those two figures yet, they are beautiful. And I guess they re-released metal head as an order from NECA cus too many people complained that they couldn't find him in the stores. Or so thats what I heard. As far as the video game figures, honestly I hate the pixelated look. I just dont get it. Why would someone want that when they can get a normal/ good looking version of the figure. Nothing personal against your taste though, we all have our own ideals. I did get the video game Slash though just cus i think he looks waaaayy better than the toon version despite the weird pixelation effect. I might try to paint him up a bit and try to blend in the pixelation to make him look better but IDK yet. still waiting to get him in the mail as well.

Oh ok, Tokka and Rahzar, and the Metal Head pack. I thought all of those looked amazing at Toy Fare last year, judging by the photos anyway.
As far as the pixelated figures, I see them as more of a supplement to the main Turtles than an alternative. I would never want them as my main Turtles, and given the shortage of the proper versions, these seem like they shouldn’t exist yet. But that said, I’ve found the idea of a couple Turtles surfing in the background of my display shelf an increasingly appealing idea lately, though it’s almost certainly never going to be in the budget. I didn’t like them at first, but Raph in particular has really been growing on me. Here’s hoping 2021 will let everyone track down everything they want for a fair price... |

yeah that makes sense as filler or alternates, plus the boards are cool and you could use the boards with any figure really.
I've noticed the last wave showing up at targets Have had a lot more than a couple of packs and they've been getting restock almost on the reg it seems ... so far anyways. So that's good about future releases but doesn't help me with the older ones lol.
