Thanks. But as I live in the UK I can't buy from eBay.com. I can from eBay.co.uk though, and there is one on there at the moment, but I doubt I'll win it.
Do you know of any store's online that sell Gen?

I've seen a few around in Ohio. I'd guess there's one per box from the ratio I've seen on shelves.
And speaking of hard to find figures, is the Usagi figure still in stores? I didn't even know about it until yesterday, but can't find it online for less than $20.

Yay! After months and months of trying to find the "Gen" toy, it was on ebay (.co.uk). I missed it once, but won it tonight!
I can't wait untill he arrives!
Oh, btw, does anyone know, (I'm not quite sure), I know its probally been asked millions of times before, but how is Gen said?
Is it "G" as in "Geese" or as in "Just".
Thanks!

It's not pronounced "Jen".

All "soft g" (as in George or Geology) sounding words have the letter "j" in them.... Jotaro.... Jei.....Fujii....Hikiji.....makes it a lot easier to remember that way.

Wow, I've been pronouncing Gen's name wrong for over 15 years!

Hey, I was just watching "The Real World" TMNT episode...and they said Gen's name with a soft "G" like Jen.
What's up with that?
Best line so far...

Sorry to be so Contradictory in my first day of posting..
Chickrockguitar I'm also UK. and I only ever order stuff from ebay.com, you just message the seller and ask if they'll post international.
I'm a long time ebay user though, before there was a UK site.

Hi, JediFraz. Welcome to the boards.
I don't have a paypal account (I don't trust paypal). So I can only pay via UK cheque, or Postal Order. Most people in the US etc won't accpet that. Therefore, I have to stick to ebay.co.uk.

estee, I noticed that too...
Oh well. If we're lucky enough to get Usagi and Gen in TMNTs again, lets hope they can get it right next time.
Also, I think they may have said "Tomoe" wrong as well...

WOO-HOO! Today, at the local Target (which, you'll pardon the expression, BITES TMNT/wise), I ACTUALLY FOUND A GEN!!!!!!
Woo-hoo indeed! I got it for like what five or six dollars-- no need to go to eBay! He was the only one, and buried amidst the other stuff! Woo-hoo!
And earlier, at the local Toys R Us (which also bites) there was a Usagi! Now, I already have the ronin rabbit, but I bought it anyway-- some of my kids like Usagi, and it will be a great lil motivator in some contest.
Not a bad day toy/wise!

Congrats.
I hit Toys R Us again today and still no luck. I have been searching for a Usagi and a Gen for months now, and it looks like Im not going to get one.
Too bad I refuse to use ebay.
