All this weekend, NECA is \"bringing back exclusive items, hidden gems, and select sold-out favorites coveted by collectors.\" In other words, selling old stock via their website. Every hour, a new item goes up for sale, like this Turtles in Time<\/i> Bebop and Rocksteady set.<\/p>\n

\"Pirate<\/p>\n

The problem is, they're selling these at current<\/b> prices, not what they were originally. Bebop and Rocksteady did not retail for $70. And more than that, most of what they've been selling so far is available far cheaper elsewhere. Basically, if you see something on their sale you might like to get, give eBay a quick glimpse to see if it's on there instead; that TMNT<\/i> set, for example, is available from several different sellers for less than $20. Don't rush to buy something directly from NECA just because it's there.<\/p>\n

For posterity, here's a list of everything they offered, with prices:<\/p>\n
