When the 25th anniversary tour was going on, they had a real life turtle van that was a mini museum on wheels. That was neat, but nothing to write home about.

Myself, I hope to one day create a virtual museum in the form of a website. I've been hunting/saving pics of just about everything turtle related imaginable. Hundreds of GB's of stuff. Rare set photos from the films, developmental material from all the cartoons, little-seen commission pieces by the comic artists, prototype toys, licensing art, you name it. I've got oodles of bootleg/Japanese/unproduced things, too. Only Tokka's image collection could rival it (& there's no denying I got some of my material from his), but there's a LOT in mine you won't find in his. Just gotta figure out the best format for putting it online. Somewhat tempted to make a book of some sort, but to say the legalities of it would be muddy is a grand understatement...

If nothing else I might do image dump threads here at some point. It's my least desirable route, but it's something.
Could set up a Facebook page for yours. Set stuff to post every few hours.... then I can mine it for some sweet content for TPE.

He does have a ton of rare stuff, but not a lot of bootleg stuff... I have offered to sell him some items, some of the signed big stuff that I've got... lol.

Anywho. Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of a travelling museum just making that work State to State would be difficult at best... Have to probably do a big rig, then you need someone to drive and a planned route to where to go as well as guarenteed attendence at each stop... Although I wouldn't mind that cuz i've always said hitting every comic shop in the country would be cool... Take video and whatever.
