The TMNT fan community has been blessed and cursed at the same time. Neca toys has partnered with Americas biggest retail chains, Target & Walmart, to bring us turtle fans the action figures we've been wanting since the 1990's. This should be the greatest news in the world for fans.

But there's just one big problem: ACTUALLY GETTING THE FIGURES. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason when it comes to the releases. On the day they are scheduled to drop, most stores do not get them in, and most department employees have no idea what they even are, or that they even carry the merchandise.

Toy hunting becomes an exhausting experience, rather than a fun one. Most fans have to drive for miles only to find out scalpers beat them to the punch, and now they have to purchase figures on Ebay for triple what the figure cost.

This petition proposes a solution: A TMNT ambassador program. A release day event that gives turtle fans an edge over the scalpers. Makes going to Walmart & Target an enjoyable experience, rather than one of agony. A release that puts the power back into the hands of turtle fans, and brings back a rush of nostalgia similar to the figures themselves. One that reward its most loyal fans, rather than pisses them off.
