I guess it must have sold well to get a second wave. Goes to show, never underestimate the power of children's TV to keep a line active.
(Or these were already in production and can't be stopped. I guess we'll know based on their availability and shelf life. i.e. If they only make a fleeting appearance in stores and then vanish, i'd hazard they were too far along to ditch... but wanted to).
It'll be interesting to see how these sell, given most TMNT collectors could get a 'complete team' (turtles, splinter, shredder, kraang, footsoldiers) from just half of wave 1.
;-)
I don't follow the new cartoons too closely, but I don't think Bebop and Rocksteady have been around since the original cartoon ended in the 90's...and these are all new-cartoon/new-movie sets.
Also, color me surprised the first wave sold enough to warrant a second too.
So nowadays the difference between a hit is probably much different to seeing people fighting over cabbage patch dolls or sleeping overnight to get a Stretch Armstrong.
Also I don't know the production cycle of a lego set, I imagine sets are designed and made in advance and much planning goes into this, hence if a set is scheduled, it launches.
As said, there is a movie to come, etc. Maybe Turtlemania is now what it was, but I'm fairly sure it'll be successful.
