Looks like the site is getting swamped. I can’t add the 4 pack to my cart. I’ll try later in the day.

That happened to me also then about a minute later my page refreshed automatically and I was able to check out.
By chance, has Neca hinted at possibly making 1/4 scale soto turtles??

Awesome! NECA Store doesn’t charge tax. Being from California, that really helps.

I've basically talked myself out of getting the 4 pack and hope to find the 2 packs in store for $30 cheaper.
Same here, mainly because I want to hold off in case they make the 1/4 scale versions. I only PO'd Tokka & Rahzar.

I am sticking with my original single boxed Gamestop turtles. Already have T&R and not getting the accessory packs so everything is a pass today. Happy for those that are hauling though!

I always try to talk myself out of getting the 4-pack thinking I can things cheaper down the line. Then I remember I probably spend more than $30 to $40 on gas trying to drive around to find them. Not to mention the whole bother. I‘d gladly spend a “convenience fee” of 30 or 40 extra to have it over and done with.
Ordered the VHS set and the accessory set.
I hope we see the new sculpts used for TMNT repaints. I'm just glad to finally have the Turtles in my collection.

Found a signature Fugitoid this morning.
will T&R be released at Walmart too or just through NECA?

Yup, in full.

I know it's tempting but I honestly don't think these will be much cheaper later down the line. The cartoon turtles in disguise set was $125 a few months ago at Target, now the style guide 4 pack is out with less accessories and for $150. I can definitely see the SOTO 2 packs being $75 6+ months from now.
I have zero chance of finding turtles in stores around here so as much as I would like to avoid prepaying I'll grab these. I have the SDCC VHS box for the first movie so hopefully they will go well together.
Not that I've seen.

I'm not sure if they hinted but NECA likes $$$ and TMNT is a cash cow for them.
The 1/4 Animated Turtles are slowly rolling out and it seems the 1/4 TMNT 1990 figures are still being re-released.
Seems like only a matter of time for TMNT 2 - I'd be tempted but I will likely just stick with my original 1/4 TMNT due to space.
The 1/4 TMNT 1990 statues have tremendous shelf presence and can pass off as a premium polystone statues (from a distance) - one of my favorites in my collection.

I noticed that too recently, no CA sale tax - huge savings, it's getting close to 10% here.
That's $100 saved per every $1,000 spent - it quickly adds up when collectors are army building foot soldiers, mousers, roadkill rodneys and rock soliders.
The downside ordering from NECA is having to pay for the preorder fully upfront, $15 shipping and NECA has narrowed the Turtle Tuesday preorder window to 10-days (so you can't combine shipping with the next announced batch in 2-weeks).
My chances of finding NECA TMNT merchandise in the wild at Target/Walmart is virtually zero so I'm OK buying direct from NECA. Saves me the hassle of the wild goose chase.
Agreed. Leo blends in perfectly with my Hot Toys, Enterbays, & 1:6 customs. These are some of NECA's greatest achievements!
I also have all four 1/4 scale 90's Turtles along with 1/4 scale Animated Series Raph and Donatello with Leo on preorder. I'm sure Neca will eventually make the 1/4 soto turtles. If they don't, ill be good with the 90's turtles set.

Nice setup! Looks like Boba Fett is M.I.A.
My display is so cluttered now, it's embarrassing. I will re-arrange once my ModuCases arrive and allow my figures/statues to breathe more (like yours).
It helps that the TMNT suits from the 90s movie had that plastic/rubber foam look (and no human faces) so it translates well to figure form and as you mentioned, blends in well with other premium collectibles.
Whereas the NECA's 1/4 Superman, Batman, Catwoman, Penguin (while impressive considering the price), you can immediately tell it's not premium.
Does anyone use stands with their Super7 Ultimate Turtles and if so which do you recommend??
Great set up! Really clean! How did you get that Gandalf hat to fit so well?
