Wow, this forum has gone pretty much dead since the last time I was here

I ended up having to get the turtles on ebay. Oh well, at least I got them. Years ago though if you asked for super commons on this forum you would have at least 3 different people offering to sell to you by the end of the day.

I'm now looking for a pair of foot soliders. Loose is fine and I don't even need the weapons. '88 version or any of the various reprints would do.

Facebook is where it is happening nowadays. Not even worth the trouble to try to do toy trading here anymore.

I would've been happy to help you out, but back in September and October I did a huge inventory clearout - one with an action figure sale where I sold what you are looking for, and the second as a vehicle sale with a Technodrome and a bunch of other stuff. Now unless I buy another collection I'm just left with my private, complete collection for as long as I decide to keep those.

To be honest, I think it's two fold. I agree that the social media groups have supplanted a lot of forums - even Instagram is huge for this now. But I'd also guess that a lot of the mainstay collectors have solidified their private collections and maybe traded out a lot of their doubles and so on by now. We are talking about a generation of collecting that has been 30+ years since inception and probably about 15 years since adult callbacks made the vintage toys popular again.

I do sales constantly on Facebook. It's people here who more or less have completed their vintage collections.

Still looking for 2 foot soldiers. I edited the thread title but it's still showing up with my original title and not the edited one. Anyone know why?
