Recent "steals" - Page 171

I bought this a couple of months ago on eBay for $15. I wasn't even aware of its rarity at the time (still not entirely sure) but every other one I've seen goes for around $100.

No maybe's about it, that's a definite steal! Congrats! Had you read the Image series before?

I've read the entire series now but at the time I was hoping this TPB would collect the later issues (for obvious reasons). When I got it I was disappointed that I already had those issues. Then I began to think about how little I've actually seen it around and I don't exactly have a shortage of turtles comics.

*Powder* · 05-30-2015, 05:57 PM

Well it does at least have an extra page that isn't included in the floppies, plus that super badass cover is worth the cost itself!

I don't know how many of you will consider this a "steal," but I thought these were weird and bought them in case an overseas Dromer might want them.

Those are actually pretty interesting. I am assuming that they are unofficial, but nonetheless it really does kind of cement how big the turtles were at one point.

2003 Leonardo & Michelangelo MOC for $12.21

Scored this lot of VHS tapes, all of them play fine. Plus a few books as a bonus. Felt like a steal to me.

You should totally take some pics of what the pop-up book looks like on the inside when you get it!

Anyone know anything about these? A seller on eBay had two sets that were given to him by Loyal Subjects as part of a promotional. I paid a high price for each set, because I couldn't find any information about them ANYWHERE. One set is going to another Technodromer overseas, the other is up for grabs if anyone wants to buy it:

Even though I paid a pretty high price, I still consider this a "steal" because there's no telling how sought after this set is going to be at some point in the future.

Oh man that's the only TPB I'm missing

slashpieturtlemix · 06-06-2015, 01:39 PM

I got 20 2k3 figs, 2 vehicles and a ton of weapons for $90. It wasn't that bad. The only thing that irks me is that every figs is missing like one weapon. This is infuriating in a whole different way lol but now I got some trade fodder.

Like we all said in the loyal subjects thread. You can find them on the loyal subjects website for $10. That's $10 for the whole pack excluding shipping, but i got mine for free as well.

And what exactly is "a high price" you keep saying that but you don't list a number. For all we know you could be just saying that to get sympathy. I don't think you are, but give us all the details.

I don't see how you couldn't find anything "ANYWHERE" considering a simple google search of a "The loyal subjects tmnt stickers" brings to directly to them.

Kind of a "steal" in the longrun. Won this auction last week and it showed up today.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161746087872...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

$55 and within that is enough accessories to complete 35 2k3 figures. (so about $1.50 a figure) and various other 2k3 Turtle bits. Accessories seem to be hard to come buy for these guys, so now I can bin-dive at cons for $5-10 incomplete figures and save myself a sizable penny later on

Heck already paid for it with a $10 Mystic Fury Don and $7 Foot Elite Guard off ebay.

Freeman · 07-08-2015, 05:39 PM

Have to wait until it arrives, but I got these one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Muta...p2047675.l2557

Funny part is I got vol. 4 & 5 from a TMNT spanish facebook page so I'm only missing vol 7 and the newest releases

*Powder* · 07-08-2015, 07:10 PM

Wow, very nice! Quite a deal you got there, congrats.

*oldmanwinters* · 07-31-2015, 10:54 PM

I don't really know how much the mini-comic from the vintage TMNT Fan Club tends to go for by itself, but I was happy to spend less than $2 on it this week.

And my local comic shop set aside the very cool throwback cover variant on the IDW #48 for me this week. I had practically resolved to only buy the Cover As for this arc so I could get a complete composite image, but I compromised on this one. It's just so cool.

Plus, my LCS also set aside it's companion from Ghostbusters Get Real! so I had to just go with both:

*Powder* · 07-31-2015, 11:24 PM

I'm sure $2 must be a steal. I love that little book, read it dozens of times over as a youth. Wonder who did the art.

DrSpengler convinced me that it was probably the same person who did the original origin strip on the back of the Playmates figure card:
