Wow...what a waste of a license. Hopefully SH Figuarts makes the 1990 movie figures.

NECA also said each set will sell at the con for $100 EACH and ONLY available for sale at the con because of license restrictions. I'm already scared of eBay prices.

Don't even bother. Easily over 250-300 each set.

Got all excited, then read that they're restricted to US only. Ouch.
Then again I managed to series 3 of Planet of The Apes for £60 last month on amazon but that was almost a year after they were on sale at comic con. I doubt these will be offered to UK retailers though.

Might be cheaper to go to SD and get a scalped pass to the con, lol

Sad to hear that these will likely be impossible to buy for a sane price for those of us not going to SDCC.
It might be wishful thinking, but dunno, I do think these won't be that hard to get, or at least we'll be able to get an alternate (non-SDCC) version down the road. Didn't Randy say a few weeks ago there was no chance of releasing videogame turtles?

He always keeps things a secret I am hoping this is one of those situations. Why would they only allow it to be sold at SDCC & not to the general public when it's a one time thing. & NECA is all about cost efficiency they re-use sculpts for Alien/Pred figures & say all the time it's about "tooling". So why would they pay for someone to sculpt these then have them manufactured overseas just to be sold to a select few? Doesn't make sense right? I think they will release these like they did the 7 inch Keaton Batman. Also there's this which makes me think there is still a chance...

Playmates is worse than Hasbro Neca makes turtle figures so good that even the bootlegs are highly revered. Licensing sucks. I hate when companies have a grip on certain scales. Playmates literally makes dollar store quality toys while these awesome companies are more than willing to make a FEW collector figures that don't look like googly eyed garbage(cough classic collection). Makes me nerd rage

You know what's so messed up? these are limited to sdcc so only a certain amount will be made & now you have yahoo & every gaming channel on youtube reporting on this. it will be impossible to get these now
I think it's similar to the Contra series.
There might be restrictions in the US, but there might not be a restriction outside US, I don't know how the license work outside USA, but you see Revoltech & Bandai picking up the license in Japan.

I'd be shocked if these don't miraculously see release through the Ebay store or get resized, redecoed, or repacked down the road.

I really want these. I'll check out eBay of course but won't hold my breath.
