Man does it look over powered with cool LEDs. Its hard to tell how much is the video and how much is just blasting cold white light and washing everything out. You would think for this price tag they could have put a little effort into the tone, using a warmer light on yellow, brown and green.

Is this a limited edition?

At this price it’s going to be!
I told my distributor “I pass on this one” price point kills it!

For 1k I was expecting more than acrylic cutouts, a few leds, and a 3d printed tdrome, but I will still be crowning my LE with one.

And this is why Stern won’t stop, next topper $1500

#56 3 years ago

It looks much better without the tmnt logo on it..... Still an overpriced POS but an overpriced POS that doesn't look as bad as before...... Haha

#57 3 years ago

Makes the $750 R2D2 look like a deal. $1K is just too much.

lol that extra $250 gets you a more detailed techodrome instead of a silver plastic bowl with sharpie and horribly placed stickers to emulate R2D2. Obviously worth every cent.

All they had to do is slap a new head on this bad boy!

I said that about 6 months ago maybe more, re-theme BKSOR topper to Shredder with bebop and rocksteady in the background instead of the fiery castle gates and the technodrome as the background!

But why do all that when you can just print some flat plastics, make a tiny eye move, and charge $600 more than the BKSoR topper?

Oh I know Sterns logic and don’t really blame them, if there’s enough suckers willing to pay anything for everything they put out then more power to them.

Until the suckers get priced out, topper prices will continue to rise. 2k by Xmas?

#63 3 years ago

Might be a good side business making reasonably priced toppers for these things.....

#64 3 years ago

Made my own topper.
Tied flashers into the existing flashers on the machine.
What's cool is that there are individual flashers for each turtle.
The bad-guys are using the flashers from the pop-bumpers.

$899 each???? I will take 2

Lol, it was probably around $300-400 total.
The expensive part was the scale model figures - they are about $40-50 each.
But, I put Krang in the machine and he looks awesome.
Plus, you get all of the other mods like the pizza slices, turtle-comms, and weapons.
All this tilting and nudging and they haven't fallen down since August

Here is how-to:

Awesome to share. Thanks for that. I found a 3D print for the technodrome. Going to see if I can do something with that and follow your lead

Is that Alien Tape you used? How is that stuff?

#70 3 years ago

$999? Stern sure is getting cocky, but I can’t really blame them when people are paying these crazy prices.

#71 3 years ago

Anyone know where to get this topper?

where do you connect all led for make it sequenced ? (no light all in same time)

i understand for get the power , bhe all the different light ?

#73 3 years ago

Very disappointed in the price point of this topper, how can they justify that?!?! Have any of their previous toppers been 1k??? This makes me sick... also their shooter rod is garbage... my 6 yr old could have designed a better option... so after getting subpar quality (things breaking, screws falling out, spotty playfield, dirt in the clear coat, ect) on a NIB premium this is how they finish screwing me... nice... thanks stern!!!

#74 3 years ago

Just got the topper. I noticed a weird glitch with it. Each turtle on the topper will light up as you toggle between them during Turtle Select. Mine has a weird bug when toggling to Leo which will light up Michelangelo on the topper, and toggling Michelangelo will light Leo. Both Raph and Don are appropriately lit during turtle select.

Anyone else encountering this issue? I’m running Code 1.21 which may be the problem, but wanted to run it by you guys first in case someone else is running into this.

#75 3 years ago

Super excited.... Just got my topper today!!!!

Too nervous to put it in the pin but it works I think as is. Total weight 12 pounds, used stickies too and put 4 extr screws in the wall to be safe
