When it comes to this set here people are asking 70 bucks for it on ebay when you can find it for 35 at walmart and the classic version you can find for 30 on ebay.
If Playmates does this right they could make a fortune. Times are tight right now and there is definitely a market for these. Release them slowly and plentiful over time so fans can enjoy them and not have to worry about breaking the bank. Sewer Set, Modular Vehicle and especially a Channel 6 News Van please.
I actually stumbled onto the Party Wagon, Raph, and Mike at my local Walmart yesterday. I had no idea these even existed. The Party Wagon box is a bit crushed but I still picked it (and the two turtles) up without hesitation. I'm a sucker for old school packaging.
I'm glad they're reissuing them! I remember nabbing mine back when Toys R Us had all the retro reissues. I remember a couple of lads making a comment "who would even buy these things?!" ... uh nostalgic nerds of course 😂
I remember buying the reissue from Toys 'R Us. I vaguely remember the price being somewhere around $50 or so. Came with all the stickers and way more cardboard inside the box.
Same here. I found the other 3 turtles but no Donatello. Maybe he'll be released in a future wave. I hope they re-release all of the classic figures, vehicles and playsets over time. Especially the sewer playset.
I unfortunately was impatient and bought all four turtles online just to find them all in Walmart later on. But now I have a set mint on card and one set to enjoy with the Power Wagon that I actually found in the wild. And I've ordered a repro set of stickers so it'll look just like the original. 😎
I have been on the hunt for one. I wanted one as a kid and was able to get one now at 37. I am not a reseller or anything. I’m excited to give it to my five year old. Just giving him something I wanted as a kid is super exciting for me.
What a good video broh and you can tell how luxurious that Party Wagon playmates is. I have the 1988 and I want to get the 2021 Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷👏
i found these at walmart yesterday it really took me by surprise i’ve never had these figures before they only had leo at my walmart but still it was cool to see at least one of these guys on store shelves
They should have paid attention to the little things that made this toyline one of the greatest toyline in history. Such as pizza points, the bomb stickers and for crying out loud place the stickers separately so that the user can put it on themselves. Putting on stickers was fun , now they have removed half fhe fun. Not forgetting the turtle asembly manual and also the joke book. These little things gave life to the toyline which all real tmnt toy collectors loved
Man, I thought I had found an actual 1989 one at a flea mart for cheap. After I got home, flipped it upside to realize it was a 2013. Dammit! Good thing it was only $4. 😆
Just put mine together. I gotta say the plastic feels much softer and more malleable than the original. The stickers being pre-applied was fine, but the factory really screwed up the name sticker on my roof spoiler, so it was not centered and now has a big rip through the middle. No "Stink-O" or "Laugh Gas" stickers on the bombs kinda sucks, I agree. If they're doing the blimp these will need to be cross-compatable, so who knows why they redesigned the bombs and removed the blimp peg holes. The mounted mirrors are so soft and weak that you can't even turn the guns without bending then out of shape. Unfortunately they really hold their form when they're misshapen, too. The windshield cover barely holds on and the slightest touch that isn't a picture-perfect up or down motion will snap it right off. It's not snug at all. Those attached accessories really could have been better. I'm not a naysayer, it's better than nothing and perfect for my kiddo to get the experience, but it feels slightly cheaper and more breakable than my original. I'm grateful to have found it on the shelf, though, so I shouldn't complain. I have wanted a sewer remake but after seeing how they skimped on the durability here, I'm not sure. I mean, the lid doesn't even sit completely flush when it's closed and always has a gap, so how can we depend on them for quality now? EDIT- I don't know if this matters, but the copyright info stamped under the wagon says "2013 Viacom International Inc." So does that mean this is a re-issue of an old build? Was the 2013 re-release this flimsy and cheap?
I walked in a B & M store today (a UK Store) and literally spotted one of these on the bottom shelf for £19.99. I wasn't even looking for it, but for that price, I had to grab it.
@@impendingdoom385 the reissue is not the original glider!! It's the 2012 version of the glider with the original blimp. This party wagon isn't the original either. It's the news van. Look at the gap where the tenderizer is supposed to connect with the roof. That's the upper part of the news van that connects to the roof!!
I hope the people who work for Playmates Toys nowadays will also release a reissue of the Turtle Blimp and the Technodrome. Those two vehicles definitely deserve a reissue release.
So they don't have the soft heads. I bought two sets, one to open, and the heads are larger and painted to look like the soft heads, but aren't soft. It's odd.
I was an 80’s kid and I loved and still love the turtles, had the 4 eventually and ,any others but never the wagon. I’m gonna get 2 if I ever find them
Picked my wagon up last week. Got yelled at by a Walmart associate but still snagged it lol... The August release sounds about right cause I went back the next day and there were no TMNT to be found. They had a full pallet.
@@cooltoy they had a few party wagons, the retro turtles, had turtle two packs of Leo and rocksteady, and the newer line of playmate TMNT. I was impressed with the quantity of TMNT on the pallet. A good 20+ boxes of different stuff.

Have you compared the new reissue Party Wagon to the 2012 reissue? Really wondering if there is a drop in quality as $35 is really cheap as I believe the 2012 reissue was more like $60. I know the new reissue TMNT figures are really cheap looking compared to the 2012. Which at the time, I thought the 2012 figures looked/felt cheap compared to the 1998 reissues I have. I'd say I think the 1998 reissues are probably the best figures as they look/feel like the originals, and the ones I have aren't sticky unlike some of my originals.
Scalpers are already buying these up at my store.. selling for over 100 on ebay.. nope. Not on my grounds. Thank playmates and walmart ,you can relive your childhood.. we will keep stocking these,do not pay scalpers
Hi ya, great video. Watched it five times already. 😀 I am in the U.K and just wondered what prices are they going for in the states? I know you said you got it for 35 dollars but just wondered what the going rate for one was as they seems to be a lot moe than that everywhere else. Cheers Shaun
Can’t stand these exclusives. They re-issued Castle Grey skull this year, as a Walmart exclusive. Completely sold out online. Never found one in my local Walmart. Had to end up paying double, from eBay scalper. It’s going to be the same thing with the van. Glad I still have the vintage one. Great review
The Castle Grey Skull went clearance. I was able to pick up two of them that I found on shelf for the price of $18.49 each. One had a crushed box while the other was in good shape (not mint but close.). One to open and set up and the other to leave in box for display.
@@cooltoy man I honestly thought in 2021 the recent trailers of the game are so cool and so bad ass I like all the 1990's homeage game play they added!!!!! I hope they do a collectors edition game with 3.75 inch figures added,huh???
Hi! I've been looking everywhere to find some info on this re-release and after like 2 days of digging, this video is all I could find! I'm just curious whether there was any official announcement from Playmates or Nickelodeon? Is the line going to be exclusive forever?
it varies really, there have been reports all over the country about people finding it in stores. But the general opinion is that stock is just now arriving and is supposedly being held back for the August toy aisle reset that all Walmart's are doing.
Its so strange seeing this. I had this when I was a kid along with the blimp. It would be cool to have it again but my wife would probably divorce me lol.

those were the days!
@@cooltoy Yes they were indeed! Simpler times!
Me too, my parents got me this as a gift. Wish I would have kept it though, may get this new one.
I recently got this toy. I used to have the 1989 original back in the mid-1990s. Thankfully, my turtle figures from 1988 can now ride on it.

Walmart needs more stock. This was totally bought to by scalpers. These are going for more than the originals
@the_bearded_schlub the price is dropping now, but lowest price on eBay was $100 USD. You can buy a complete original for less than that
@the_bearded_schlub okay. Lol. The boxes are cheaper now. I just want one for display and don't want to pay 400% the price
I hope playmates makes a ton of these, they will sell. I mean what else do they even use plastic on?
i got 2 turtles from 2014 or so. Now the turtle van would be nice.

Same here, anything with the old box art from the 80s and 90s pretty much guarantees I’ll open my wallet and pick it up
I went to Walmart and I never saw the party wagon or any of the classic figures.

Yeah exactly, it's smart marketing because so many people who grew up with these now have kids who like TMNT.
Finally, someone made a video about this thing
happy I could help 👍
I also pre-ordered my Turtles and the bus here in Germany. It's all coming in June :)
enjoy it!
Finally found one today. Super happy to have the complete current reissues
Congrats on the find!
OoOOo, I want a party wagon!
Correction. You NEED a party wagon!
@@cooltoy lol, so true. My Walmarts are usually dry, but I'll be on the hunt now!!
The one I had as a kid I had so much fun with!!!! Incredible!
I got the 2009 reissue still. I got it at toysrus for 20 bucks. It was an exclusive there at the time.
Man Walmart had about ten on the shelf today, picked one up for my son
missing stickers won't be an issue. If anyone is concerned there are repro stickers online or on ebay to make this van 100% again.
Picked these up the other day. No Donatello in sight though...

$35 is the retail price if a person can find it in stores, otherwise it's going for around $80 on eBay currently.
