So, new film coming up, new toy line coming out.
Wave 1A has hit Big W, Target, and Kmart, in cases of 12 (case and wave info thanks to Shattered Trousers, or more correctly his brother , over on TFW2005)
basic toys, $15 or $19 each depending on where you go (Big W opened with $15, and Target dropped to match a week later - haven't paid attention to Kmart as they lagged behind by 3 weeks):
Leo (3 per case)
Raph (2 per case)
Michelangelo (2 per case)
Donatello (2 per case)
Splinter (1 per case)
Rocksteady (1 per case)
Bebop (1 per case)
Superfly and Leatherhead are to come as swap-outs for Splinter in waves 1B and 1C
Vehicles:
Pizzafire van $65 (introductory price only, will rise to somewhere around $80)
Battle Cycle (with Raph) $49
Ninja Kick Cycle (with Leo) $49
Sewer Lair Playset $$$ (not yet at any big retailer, only at specialists and online stores so far, plus e-bayers - cheapest I've seen has been $189)
Ooze Cruisin 6-pack - the 4 turtles without the accessory sprues from the individual cards, plus a goo-spattered Bebop (again without the accessory sprue) and an April O'Neil - exclusive to Kmart in Australia, $85. I'll be waiting for an individual release for April.
Costume 4-pack - the turtles in ... costumes. Complete rip-off at $79.
There's also a bunch of gimmicked and out-of scale stuff (shouting turtles, pull-start toys, turtles fixed to skateboard, a skate ramp, masks, giant turtles, probably more that I haven't noticed), and I'm not bothing with any of it - just gimme articulated dolls, please and thank you.
October-ish release for wave 2:
basic toys (don't know if this is the whole wave, or if parts of wave 1 are being recycled)
Mondo Gecko
Scumbag
Wingnut
Ghengis Frog
large item
The Mega Mutant
What are you interested in, and have you spotted anything? The things to spot will be Superfly and Leatherhead, and with luck this line, being much more a kids line than TF or MOTU and the like, might just go under the radar for scalper-scum - but if not, then those two are ideal scalper fodder.
