Iron Studios: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

It would suck to buy into a line like this and then miss a single statue because you didn’t get up at 5am to place an order.

I pre-ordered them all but theoretically could get screwed if a statue arrives broken and the vendor has no replacement. Would kill the line for me.

Anyways I ordered Krang at 5 am today and he was sold out by 8am when I checked again.

It's weird how iron studios handles pre-orders. You put down an NRD to lock in your pre-order. When it's available you only have five days to complete your order or you loose it.

I purchased Krang and Splinter this morning at 7am. Checked the website right after, Krang was sold out. Looks like I got the last one.

Shredder sold out fast and then came back for a day or two before selling out for good. I would keep watching the website for a week or two. There are other retailers that still have Krang for order. BigBadToyStore is sold out, they sometimes have extra available when they receive stock.

I have all in the line on display, just waiting on my preorders of Krang, Splinter and Rocksteady.

I was musing more for others - who may miss a statue because they have busy lives and weren't glued to their screens. I think that's poor for IS, if indeed the window of opportunity is very small.

Thankfully there are other retailers you can get from. It's always good to pre-order when you can if you really don't want to risk missing out. Even something like Sideshow where you can lock everything in on a payment plan just by paying the NRD. Iron Studios pre-order policy is weird. I try not to mess with that if I don't have to. There are other retailers like BBTS, Replay, Timewalkertoys, EE, etc. where you can always try and get these later if they don't immediately sell out.

I wanted to be all in on this line, but I passed on April as I didn't want her. So far only have the 4 turtles and Casey Jones which I am trying to sell. Think I will end up with just the 4 turtles.

Krang looks awesome but at $300 plus ship/tax that's a steep commitment. Looking forward to living vicariously through you all ha.

Bunch of artificial scarcity for fake hype.

Krang is gross. Is he (it) wearing lipstick?

Mine was due this week but will likely arrive Monday.

Thanks, IcedDog.
I'm happy with both of them, they turned out great.

It didn't notice it. The android body does have purple lips. lol
Honestly I think it look fine in person.

I think you will like him. Krang is a chunky boy.

The chain on his left arm feels like real metal.
