The 2021 TMNT LootCrate Sets Are Now Sold Out

Today I got an email from LootCrate telling me my order for last years TMNT LootCrates where on their way. Now it's not totally clear how many Crates are actually shipping out right now. In the email I got it said items in the shipment included:TMNT Limited Edition Crates, Series II - Complete Set of 4 + Bonus Figure 1

However when I click on the link to view my order on the LootCrate website, it only indicates that Crate #3 is shipping now which should be for the Mirage Comics Mutant Shredder. I actually was one of the lucky ones to get my Crate #1 last year which contained the TMNT movie Danny Pennington.Hopefully Crate #2 for the Arcade Themed Armaggon and Crate #4 for the Animated Series Donatello the Dark Turtle figure along with the Bonus Crate with the Animated Series Scrag will also be shipping soon.If you pre-ordered any of these last year from LootCrate then you should probably keep an eye on your email inbox for a shipping update.

92 different crates 'on the way' with additional 'premium' items and t-shirts, etc. from September of last year.

I know some of the stuff is trickling out, but its looking more and more like a possible collapse of the company.

Any one else hear from Loot Crate today?

Last month we told you how Loot Crate had sent out word that their 2021 TMNT Set 2 which will include the NECA TMNT Arcade Armaggon figure and Set 3 which will include the NECA TMNT Mirage Comics Mutant Shredder figures would start shipping out to folks who pre-ordered them last year by the middle of this month.Well so far there has been no indication that any of shipped out to folks yet, however this weekend images surfaced online (Original source unknown) showing the two figures as well as the bonus Animated Series Scrag figure in-hand and on sale at some comic shop reportedly in NJ. No word on how the place that was selling them at way over-inflated prices got them, though possibly something that was snuck out of the warehouses the figures have been sitting at since they arrived in the US.

Regardless, hopefully all three will soon be shipping out officially to folks who per-orderd them in the very near future.

Seems like some comic store have connects in factories and feel they have a right to sell them for rip off prices.

Thank you for this article. It's always fascinating to read behind the scenes stories. Although I really feel sorry for the masses, who purchased the sets.While I do understand that none of the parties are able to send out any specific replies, it's a bit heartbreaking that companies still tend to choose complete radio silence. I believe in transparent communication as long as it doesn't break any law. But a small tweet here or there wouldn't hurt anyone in regard of what to expect or if they are still trying to figure out how to send the figures if that's still an option.

I totally agree, the thing that sucks is legally its not in their hands but youd think if they put their scent on the products that LC distributes AND being a part of the same owned group, they would at least mention something to keep the faith. But for whatever reason I also think thats a reason why they arent saying anything. If they say their side of whats going on, it would fault a company thats a part of the same owned business even tho its probably out of necas hands in general. Definitely a lame situation.

Yea, I get that there may be legal issues preventing them from saying anything.

I understand what you're saying. I was not trying to coming at you in a hostile manner. But sometime us collectors feel like we have to defend these companies because we enjoy their products. I am just saying that most people that bought these Crates are NECA fans not Loot Crate. So I think NECA has a responsibility in this to at least make a statement.
