was that confirmed? It was confirmed that Elias said no he did not want his likeness on the toy.

Nothing concrete. Just the actor confirming he gave Neca rights to put his face on a figure.

Good news! I will take a look today. My local Walmart is still ravaged from the holidays. They got some restocking to do..

It was horrible of NECA to make anything a Walmart Exclusive... After going to three local Walmarts without any luck, an employee finally confirmed they received only 2 of the Casey Jones/ Raph two-pack... Both sets sold yesterday before I got off work (I checked on my way home yesterday too). They will receive more on July 20th. The employee was helpful and looked up the item at other Walmarts and confirmed no one has jack, and most stores in my area will not ever carry them. He did recommend checking a couple of Walmarts that are an hour away (he could not check those stores).

Same here on my end. I went to a super Walmart that said they sold out as soon as they put them out.

i'm guessing only Walmart has the buying power to convince Mattel to hand over the rights for them to be exclusive for in store sales.

Im just surprised by the lack of availability. Online appeared to sell out almost instantly. In store is appearing to look the same.

I have been checking the 3 Walmart?s closest to me 1-2 times a day and have seen no sign of them. I have been looking in both the toy and entertainment section since the Target ones are put out in the entertainment section. I am not even seeing shelf space for them. It?s a shame because I am 100% all in on all their TMNT movie and toon figures as long as I can find them. I can?t afford the $100 plus prices on eBay (although I might eventual get there in gas if this goes on much longer). Really hoping Super Shredder is not as hard to get.
At this point I just cringe anytime I hear Walmart or Target exclusives.

I will never understand the economics of stores ordering enough of an exclusive to make it financially feasible for a manufacturer to produce it, yet at the same time, that same exclusive being so hard to find.
The only possible explanation is that either NECA or the retailer are forgoing profit to get people in the store. But really, are you going to take a loss leader on action figures for adult collectors? Why not a BluRay or some other item with more mass-market appeal?
I must just not get it, because I'm sitting here not being the toy buyer for Wal-Mart or Target.

Here is a link for checking availability for the Casey/Raph 2-pack.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/General-7-Figure-2-pack-Asst/249031665
Do not worry about the photo. Walmart is using this General 2-pack for the set.
If store availability says UNKNOWN, do not waste your time. Those are stores that do not carry NECA.

Do we know where they are stocking them in the store? Are they actually putting them in the toy isles?
I have been hitting the 3 closest to me right when the open. Unfortunately I might have just torn my ACL tonight so my guess is they will be there tomorrow morning and I won’t be able to drive myself there to get them. Stupid, stupid ACL.

They are in the Electronics section. If the store carries NECA, you should find an isle in Electronics that has other NECA figures and Collectibles. It is usually easy to spot the isle if you look for the Pop! Toys.
Sorry about the ACL. I hope you heal up soon.
Either the in-store inventory count on the Wal-Mart site is incorrect or an employee at my local store is buying these before the customers get a crack at them. I looked at the site yesterday morning and the 2-pack showed as "Out of Stock" everywhere near me. I checked again last evening and it said "Only 1 left!" at the nearest location. I almost headed out the door before realizing the store had just closed and wouldn't be open again until 7 AM. So I woke up early this morning and got there just as the doors opened. I made sure to double check the site again and it still showed one set remained in the store.
I made my way to the electronics department, but the only trace of the 2-pack was a $49.96 shelf tag under an empty space. I looked around everywhere, thinking someone had hidden it. No dice. I even scoured the toy department to be extra thorough. Still nothing. I checked the website again (as I had less than ten minutes earlier) and it now showed "Out of Stock" at this store. Same for every other Wal-Mart within a thirty mile radius that had shown "In Stock" this morning. All gone within ten minutes of the stores opening? If it's not employees getting them, then these scalpers are quicker and more stealthy than the Foot Clan.
Ugh. Not putting up with this crap in the middle of a pandemic. If I find a set at retail price down the line, fine. No more special trips.
