Not so much a "steal", but more a good bargain:
The pictured technodrome looks like its missing a few pieces but the actual technodrome shipped with all of them except for firing platform and Krang's escape hatch.
EDIT: Just noticed this thread doesn't require steals to be from ebay... So I'll mention finding 11" Krang's Android Body at a video store a few months ago for $5 with the radar antanna on top firmly attached... unfortunately missing the brain itself, but still a great deal (i think.)

Here's my recent "steal" that I'm quite happy with, although not a toy exactly:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190143146515
It's hard to tell because of the unmatching background it's pictured with in the auction, but it's from the very first episode of the original cartoon. 8)

I wanted a GameBoy for years and years and years it seemed. I think I was in at least seventh grade when I finally got one for Christmas (1991). It was still the big grey brick - not too long before they came out with the colored bricks. But it was a REALLY big purchase for my parents to make, so I had to settle for used games with it. I got both the TMNT 1 & 2 GB games, but of course they had no box. So I'm really happy with this particular purchase. :)

Comix Wave #10 - If I am not mistaken, this was the very first collaboration between Peter & Kevin, from 1982. If not the very first, then it sure is dang early. Plus, Kevin does a story with Clay Geerdes who was the man and still is one of my heroes. If you don't know who he was, for shame! I was hella surprised I got it so cheap, let's just say my maximum bid would frighten most people. I REALLY wanted this.

Bad Girl Art #2 - WARNING - Not exactly kid tested or mother approved! Another piece of great early Eastman work from his naughty years. I wouldn't exactly call this one a steal at the price I had to pay, but I noticed I was up against Roseangelo, so I had stiff competition from another rabid fan.
EDIT - I only realized after posting that this is in the Toys/Collectibles section and really isn't intended for comic "steals"... so my apologies. I suppose we should have a "Recent Steals" thread in the Comics Discussion too. Then there will be much bragging & rejoicing for all!

Now the "Our Story Thus Far" #2 comic that CCD spent $22 on last week, which I found later that same day for $2.10 ... THAT was a steal. 8)
If you're interested in that one Jared, lemme know and I can send you a link.

11-06-2007, 03:34 PM
Sure, not exactly a steal, I said that right off. But how often does Bad Girl Art #2 come up for sale? How many copies are even out there? I love mini-comics and I had the money, so why not get it? It's worth it to me.
And as far as Our Story... goes, yeah I found it for $3 a while later too. http://www.jabberwockygraphix.com for anyone who wants to get that or even the whole set.
Should have checked around more first but I'm the impulsive type.:lol:

One of the extra figures I got was Vernon. If you want him, I could sell him to you. I'll check if he is complete with all his stuff. But that will be for next week since I'm not going home until next week.
I'm only typing this with one hand: my cat is sleeping on my other arm :roll:
I took Toon Don to work today, now he's standing cutely with my other TMNT figures on my desk :)

Guys, for the record, stop calling me "Darth." Call me CJJ, or Lord CJJ.
Yeah, the supermutants auction was the one for Shredder, Rocksteady, and Bebop (not Splinter; I already have that one loose).
The Next Mutation figures were Vam Mi (already have her loose), Venus De Milo, Blacktop Boardin' Venus (which I will either resell or open), and Silver.
I also won a complete set of Metal Mutants (reselling the Leo, already have two of them, one MOC and one loose complete) as well as the Cave April/Raptor combo.

***First of Two Latin Kings***
11-16-2007, 12:57 PM
Yeah, but if you think about it, it's only a good deal because of how rare the Gen figure is-- I found one at the store and only paid $6.00 for it. The Big Foot toy isn't "rare" by any standard, but some of them are still going for outlandish prices-- like the one that sold for $56 last week.

I just snagged a lot of 3 rare Aprils, Sandstorm, Mona Lisa, Toon Irma and a few others MOC for 70 bucks. With the extras in the lot I can sell and make back the money i spent on the lot easily.There is a MOC unpunched Slash, etc.
Not neccessarily a steal, but I'm almost done with my vintage collection!!!! All I have left now is the 5 remaining Toon figures (Burne, Vernon, Zak, Kala, and Dask), Jim Lee's TMNT, and a couple of the 1980s figs left and I will be done!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I don't have that many vintage figures, because I decided not to get all the silly turtle variants. I just get the main TMNT and the supporting characters. The only TMNT variants that I have are Movie Star and Toon Turtles.

I know Fugitoid isn't some super rare figure but c'mon...for this price and free shipping, I had to put it under this category. It was almost like buying it at retail price. Plus, I don't know how much of a profit this seller could have made, so I actually may have committed larceny w/ebay as my partner in crime.

I don't know what the deal with Fugitoid is, but I had an unpunched MOC that I was trying to get rid of and I couldn't give the damn thing away. I think it only sold after I bundled it together with some other crap, and for damn cheap still. That was just earlier this year.

Picked up the rarest Slash of them all on ebay. Purple belt and bright yellow belly. I got it for $20, which isn't so bad considering the last few I bid on went to the $40 and $50 range.
Happy days.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't the red belt Slash the rarest?

There is no red belt it's a purplish color belt.
There only that and a black belt slash.
Triglyph
12-17-2007, 11:17 PM
The word is there are at least four different slash versions on 1990 cards:
1: Purple Belt, Red S, Bright colored belly (presumed rarest, though I don't know how true that is vs people just accepting it after reading a copy of lee's...regardless of actual rarity, this seems to be the most expensive one)
2: Purple Belt, Yellow S, Bright colored belly
3: Purple Belt, Red S, Mustard Colored Belly
4: Black Belt, Yellow S, Mustard Colored Belly.
the 4th one is easily the most common and it was also the version re-released as the figure was put out on later cards.

They replaced him with Tokka but if you have proof that Slash was re-released please do post because I'd like to see it.

I got a couple steals today.
Cyber Samurai Set of Four (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220183388877) - I've been looking for a cheap set of these for awhile. I only ever picked up Mike back in the day.
But this lot (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370004922680) of trading cards and other miscellaneous things is my real treasure. It has the Tournament Fighters promo cards from Farley's fruit snacks. Not just one, but two complete sets!

I was pretty stoked to find it and it arrived a few days ago... WOW is it MINTY... Anyway, I have collected TMNT figures since I was born... I have nearly all the figures loose, but just got into the MOC game. If you check my recent ebay purchases you will see I am kinda going wild buying items. I really just want to jump start my collection and get all the common figs out of the way.
Also, this was a pretty good deal IMHO http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270225296703
But yeah, If anyone has a large amount of "generic common" MOC stuff I am paying around 5-8 bucks a shot. I am also very interested in the rare stuff if anyone has anything to sell. I just picked up a Shoate and Hot Spot... Bidding on a Shogun Triceraton as we speak.
So anyway, there is that.

I saw the lot of tons of figures. They looked to played with for a collection personally. But still a good deal with all the packaged stuff, if that's all really MOC I didn't read the auction. The signed toy is still a good deal. I personally don't like someones name scribbled across a rare toy but that's just me to each their own.

I mean Kevin Eastman is the friggin man yeah but just because like if I had him sign my butt doesnt mean it would raise the value or awesomeness of it.

The loose stuff didn't interest me at all... But all of the stuff in the box (I don't know if any is MISB, but all is complete in very nice box) was well worth it IMO... And again, if it ever becomes necessary, I will simply remove the autograph... Not a big to do I don't believe. But alas, I find that the figure is even COOLER with Eastman's sig... But as has been said, each person is into there own thing.

I personally love autographs on toys as long as it's not inscribed to anyone. I sent a minty case fresh Movie III April figure to Paige Turco with a letter asking her to sign it but not to inscribe it to me as it's her name I wanted not mine. It came back a few weeks later and she wrote "Cowabunga! Paige Turco -April O'Neil" on the top of the card. Unfortunately it didn't come back as minty as I sent it but at least it did remain unpunched. Anyway, autographs are risky as you never really know who signed it without verifying it and that's costly but TMNT is something I enjoy and so are autographs so the combination of the 2 are like butta, for me anyway.

I think $20 (shipping included) wasn't too bad for this.
Not bad at all, that's the same guy almost everyone else has got them from.

Is that indeed so? Hmm... I didn't know that. Seems like he's made quite a name for himself providing the Secret Agent Dons, eh? I wonder if he'll end up auctioning the remaining two Alien Hunter aliens..?

Not sure if everyone would consider this a steal, but I'm pretty damned excited. So I was calling around looking for NECAs today, Suncoast had them but said they were $16.99! sheesh.
Anyhow, I called a comic shop, heres how it went down
Comic Shop Dude "theyre new? no i dont think so, but the owner brought in some of his vintage turtles."
Me "Oh really?" I humored the guy, assuming he was talking about some banged up pieces of loose crap.
CSD "yeah a whole bunch of them, $4.99 each. I'm looking at Leonardo now. His card is a little curved but..."
Me "THEYRE ON THE CARD?"
CSD "oh yeah."
Me "Thank you I'll be right there"
I went to the bathroom, cleaned my underwear, and drove over to the store. I burst into the door, "wheres the turtles?" I said, not minding the large toy section.
The guy in the store ended up being the owner, not the guy I spoke to on the phone. He told me he's clearing out 4000 square feet of storage holding old random toys and he has a bunch of turtles. He says he'll be bringing in everything from Giants, to Korean bootlegs for the next few weeks. The kid in me says "hell yeah", the adult says "seriously dude, youre killin me".
To sum up, I snagged MOC Raph and Leo for a total of $10.84, and I will be returning for more in the future.

This deal (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370048438597) on a NECA Mike seems too good to be true. I'm sure there'll be some sort of unrevealed flaw to it, but at that price I can take it out and play around with it a little more than the one in my set.

hello fellas. I'm pretty new to this forum but wanted to start contributing. I started my collection the beggining of this year (2008) and Ive acquired several of the old toys. Here are some of the latest ones Ive gotten:

Those are some great figures to start with. Awesome deals too.
I'm pretty excited about this pickup today...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110276565479&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001
I had been wanting an extra set of the colored Necas to open (as Im keeping my NYCC set sealed of course), preferably in clamshell to get all the goodies. I was also wanting an extra B & W set (again keeping the SDCC version sealed). Finally I was wanting a few extra mousers for display purposes. Throw in the neat little display objects like the dumpster and trash cans, and this auction had it all. I was sold!!
Not sure if its a steal or not but seems like a decent deal to me.

Yeah, I'm a lucky so and so as I wasn't even looking for him. The Shredder is great. Definitely in my top 5 favorite Shredders figures. Oh, and the cape/robes '88 Shredder and Splinter came with fit him. Now if I counld find my extra Splinter robe to give him a red(-ish) cape. Eitherway, he's worth getting if ya can find a good price, though I wouldn't worry about the weapons as his suck.
Think the "Anime" Turtles have become my holy grail as their great designs and figures. To bad they are rare as hell.

I had a set of metal mutants loose at some point. I must have sold them or just thrown them away. Im not a big fan. To me they have nothing to do with being Ninja turtles. More like power rangers. They also dont fit in with the rest of the line.
I have the same feelings towards the Cyber Samurai.
But hey you got 1 carded for under $10. Cant beat that.
And since you seem to enjoy them congradulations on the deal.
I find TMNT figures sell for much less then toy propertys 1980's like Transformers , MOTU , G.I.Joe , and Thundecats.
Maybe they will gain in popularity and value in a few years. I havent personaly seen any big changes over the last seven years.

threw them away?
And they sell for less because there were TONS of them produced compared to Transformers, ect.

Well, bugga, those were good deals, especially Bishop and Karai. I already have both, loose and carded (got good deals, but not as good as yours), but I wanted more for customs, and they're outstandingly priced.
Blade Raider

but I wanted more for customs, and they're outstandingly priced.
I know that annoyance. Remember that Shredder I've been working on? Karai's armor fit it perfectly (I couldn't ask for better shoulder pads).
...but she's to rare to kitbash...:dead:
Why would you use them for customs? They've got like... no articulation. :)
I thought the Turtlebot and Fugitoid figures were the better deals -- anything above $10 makes me cringe.
Blade Raider

I got Karai and Bishop for their looks and accessories (Something I rarely do these days). Only thing I want to kitbash is Karai's gear.
I thought the Turtlebot and Fugitoid figures were the better deals -- anything above $10 makes me cringe.
I think their the far better figures. I've been eyeing Turtlebot forever and my vintage Fugitoid is in bad shape, so I decided to upgrade :P Turtlebot's by far my favorite of the four.

Neither Karai nor Bishop are really "rare" in any sense... they're very easy to come by, especially loose and in lots. It's just that some people (*cough*AFL (http://cgi.ebay.com/TMNT-Ninja-Turtles-2006-Agent-Bishop_W0QQitemZ230279742190QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_ DefaultDomain_0)*cough*) sell them at astronomically high prices and others, like lemmings, follow suit.

I think the box of that toy stated that the Foot stole it from the Neutrinos.
In other words, the Foot Cruiser was modeled after the neutrinos' cars, but Playmates tought that it would sell better if it was associated with Shredder and the gang.
I think the box of that toy stated that the Foot stole it from the Neutrinos.
How appropriate! This is the "steals" thread, after all. ;) But that didn't happen very recently, did it?
I prefer to think of that car as residing in a junkyard protected by Triceratons. :)

I'm not sure to be exact but I can only guess that by that time Playmates no longer had the stickers to put on the re-releases or they where just being cheap who knows.
They only re-released Mikey from the toon series.
