looks like one of my recent ebay buys from China is another scam seller too
. My local asdas have TR wave 4 deluxes, I avoid live action stuff like the plague and don't really look at the cartoon stuff. Only way I know to get tmnt classic megabloks is over the net and usually at a premium (only got classics Krang so far and consider the prices I've found the bebop/rocksteady packs reasonable enough but got distracted by some bandai S.H anime figures). Smyths had more trypticons in but the boxes were tatty (tho I'd probably throw the box away anyways) and I'm waiting to see if the latter batch numbers = better legs proves to be true on another thread here.
Bebop and Rocksteady packs (each with 3 foot soldiers) are £10 each which for four highly posable mini-figures plus accessories in each box is a hell of a better deal than Lego. The Classics Party Wagon I got for £36. The movie TMNT stuff is really good too with lovely details and good light/sound parts. I've now got the cryo chamber, garbage truck, jungle takedown tank and Mikey's skateboard set (which includes a flight stand I didn't even know Mega Bloks did which will come in very useful for all sorts of cool posing). Bought me one of them large Lego road plates to display some of the sets on and maybe build myself a New York apartment block wall with windows and fire escapes, all sorts of things to stand or hang the mini-figures from. Also I been posing the movie TMNT with the movie Transformers as I think the scale works out quite nicely for the most part. I did buy a cheap Nicktoons set of Leo among the tank/skateboard sets today but nah, the colours and styling just don't do it for me so I'll sell that one on and just keep with movie/classics. Hell, even some of the Call of Duty and Halo stuff are starting to appeal to me and I hate those sorts of video games. And then ya got these small starter sets of Picard/Borg, He-Man/Skeletor, Alien/facehuggered-victim.
Yeah I'm clearly enjoying TMNT Mega Bloks/Construx a great deal more than Transformers in the past couple weeks. This current piss poor distribution of anything but the old waves mentioned in my previous post is extremely frustrating. I don't really know who's at fault but it's meaning my money is going somewhere other than Hasbro's pockets.
Anyways now I've had a lil fun posing both classics & movie shredders on the shoulders of TLK voyager Megatron I'm gonna go to bed. Night all.

or I could've ordered one off there
