Yup, definitely need a classic Bats. But why does McFarlane Toys seem to make the more classic designed figures some type of Exclusive?

These are up for preorder on Mezco's site and BBTS. I haven't seen them go up on Entertainment Earth yet.

I would be in for a Dragonfly copter. I almost don't see how you release Wild Bill without it. I wouldn't mind it being $300. Wild Bill ,Airborne, throw in some nice electronics and I think that's a pretty decent price. At 300 I would get at least 2.

Nope. No chance. These jokers at Loot Crate are still telling me it's going to ship. But will not acknowledge that they have yet to ship a single crate to me.

Looks good...but I will keep screaming this until someone hears me....I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A SINGLE CRATE!!!!. So disappointing. Almost makes me want to dip on NECA TMNT all together. The taste in my mouth from this whole thing is that bad. Rant over

Has Wave 1 gone up for pre-order yet???

Has Wave 1 went up yet?

Problem with that is if you are lucky enough to place an order for pickup Walmart will cancel the order about an hour before the pickup time. Saying they had to cancel because the item is out of stock. At least that's been the case for me. And thats with every single Walmart exclusive Gold Label figure. 100% fail rate.

Trailer looks great. I'm pretty excited for this movie.

Well...taking a closer look. The Turtles at least look ok. I'm gonna grab these so I can have a comic representation of the Turtles on the shelf. A stand in until NECA gives us new comic versions.

Thanks for the heads up. These look really good though.

Man, I really wanted this one too...

Any one else hear from Loot Crate today?

Yes, I received that email as well.

Yea, I get that there may be legal issues preventing them from saying anything.

I understand what you're saying. I was not trying to coming at you in a hostile manner. But sometime us collectors feel like we have to defend these companies because we enjoy their products. I am just saying that most people that bought these Crates are NECA fans not Loot Crate. So I think NECA has a responsibility in this to at least make a statement.

You can champion for them all you want. My point is that NECA's name is attached to this. That is the reason I ordered... I followed NECA's post that led to this preorder. I am not saying this is NECA's fault. What I'm saying is NECA has some responsibility to their fans/customers to at least provide some insight on what we can or can't expect. If nothing else at least from their side. And if they never address this you can continue to do what you feel is best for you and so will I. I will say this, we need to stop being fans of these companies and start realizing we are customers with the power of our patronage and start voting with our wallets. But that is of course just my opinion...

Am I the only one that hasn't received even received Crate 1 as of yet? This is stark reminder that we are trusting these companies with our hard earned money to do the right thing. This happened to me about a year ago with Nippon_Yasan. Site shut down and walked away with a lot of customers that never git their product. Hopefully, because these are US companies this will play out better than that. Fingers crossed. I understand delays and things happening, but if you require any kind of money up front you should absolutely be more communicative when #$## ain't right. And if NECA just throws up their hands(and I'm not saying thats whT they did) and walks away from this mess we have to rethink if they cam be trusted with our dollars.

Yea, the side eye thing is really not a great artistic choice in my opinion. But DC Multiverse has been one of the action figure lines I've enjoyed the most. I love Legends but I don't really see that line as being in the same level as Multiverse.

I passed on the main line release for this Wonder Woman figure. But I like the deco on this Gold Label variant. DC Multiverse has become in e if my favorite lines. The line has some corrections to be made but I like the way it's going.

Have these come and gone already or are they hitting Target stores now?

Even though this is just a repaint I am kinda excited for this figure. Kitty Pryde has always been one of my favorite X-Men characters, third behind Storm and Wolverine with Iceman taking up 4th place. I am a big fan of Marvel Unlimited so I am always excited to get the MU kits with the Exclusive figures.

G.I.Joe was the first toy line I fell in love with. I mean I was into Star Wars and the action figures, I called them my men at the time, but admittedly, I didn't have a lot of toys from the line. When GIJoe first came out with the commercial for the comics I was totally into it and was immediately hoping I could somehow get at least one. I wasn't getting a lot of toys at this time due to lack of funds. Times were tough. My mom and dad had just separated. And when they did, my mom basically became the sole provider for the family. Needless to say, after bills and groceries there wasn't much left for toys. But even though my dad took off after the separation, my grandfather, my dad's dad, would do his best to fill that void especially when it came to getting gifts. So that Christmas when GIJoe came out my Grandfather got me almost the entire "Original 13". Then the next Christmas he got me even more. I believe that was the year I actually got the Skystriker. That thing was the highlight of my childhood as far as toys go. But my Grandfather would always get me GIJoe as gifts. Christmas' I got GIJoe. Birthdays I got GIJoe. Good report card, more GIJoe. He knew how much I loved Joe and he would even do the mail aways for me. I remember getting the M.A.N.T.A. That thing was awesome. I still remember one of my fondest moments of my grandfather and Joe. One day he came by to visit. We lived in a housing complex and in order to let people in the building when they came by I would have to come out the apartment and go downstairs to let them in because the buzzer never worked. So my Grandfather comes by one day, I go down the stairs to let him in. I'm behind him as he is walking up the stairs. And in his back pocket he has a small box. I knew immediately it was the mail away Duke. I knew it was Duke because I had been desperately waiting weeks for him to come in. Talk a bout a kid in a candy store .. So my love for Joe has always been tied to my relationship with my grandfather. He passed away back in 97 and I miss him a lot. But Everytime I think of GIJoe I think of him. And when Hasbro revealed the Retro Joes with the O-rings I felt a little bit like that was my Daddy Bo sending me another Joe for my birthday. Which is tomorrow ironically. I am not putting this out there necessarily in hopes of winning the contest. I mean it would be awesome if I did. But I really just wanted to share this story and let y'all know what Joe means to me. RIP Daddy Bo. Yo Joe!

I know a lot of people are disappointed in this line. But being someone who missed out on the 25th line it is a welcome addition. Just hope Walmart can get their stuff together. I may have seen 1 or 2 of these in the pegs. I was able to order them all online but these need to be easier to find.

Easy pass for me.
