    Does anyone know where I can find a box set of all 4 ninja turtles made by Neca in Houston? They are the comic book style turtles. They look pretty cool. My cousin is looking all over for this, and I thought I could try and get it as a Christmas present. Thanks

    Those are re-seller prices. I've come to the conclusion that these are sold out everywhere and are collector's item status. I think retail is $45 for the box set. I prefer to pay close to that. $100 per turtle is one of the more ridiculous prices I've seen on the internet. These do look pretty sweet though

    Maybe call Bedrock City? I take it that these are usually about $45 retail and are hard to find?

    Are they normally sold in Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, etc?

    I went to Toys 'R Us and saw some other NECA figures. No ninja turtles though. So I assume they were at Toys R Us at one point. But Target and Wal-Mart did not have any ninja turtle brand toys

    Bedrock City is a good idea. I'll try Nan's and Third Planet as well. I completely forgot the comic book stores!

    Through a little internet research, it appears the boxed set may be a convention exclusive and that the individual ones may be hobby/retail. I found a few on Ebay. It appears they may actually be worth more in the individual packages, or at least selling for more.

    They had one boxed set for $150 Buy It Now on Ebay, and a couple that were up to around $80 or so in bidding so far. The individuals appear to be selling for $50 to $100 each.

    EDIT: It appears that there is a NY Comic Con exclusive as well as a retail boxed set. Good luck in finding one!

    You are correct. There is a regular edition and NY Comic Con edition. It looks like the only difference is the extra cardboard saying it's a comic con exclusive. thanks for the help. Much appreciated
