trying to complete my tmnt archie collection

[Floatingyeti]

Hi

The last month or so I've being attempting the very frustrating task of completing my TMNT archie collection. I'm down to the seemingly impossible to find:

TMNT adventures #70
TMNT aventures special #10 Fall 1994
Mutanimals #9

I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to this community in hopes that one of you has a spare copy to sell or trade.

I have some duplicates I can trade or sell. They are not rare, I know, but if anyone is interested let me know. Anyone fortunate enough to have a spare to sell, name your price!

extras I have:

TMNT v1 22,31,33,34,35,38,39,41,56
Tales of the TMNT v1 7
Tales of the TMNT v2 2, 23,24,35
TMNT adventures v2 49,52
TMNT special #8
April O'neil may east saga 3
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles 17,18
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Holiday Special 1991

Sorry I can't help ya, I'm trying to complete my Archie collection as well.

But I am interested in Tales 35 and TMNTA 49, are you in America?

Urg, I'm so feeling your pain.
I'm pretty sure those are the same issues I'm missing as well.

I think I have all of those, but unfortunately I don't have extras.

Have you tried pillaging the internet for them?

tried all the usual online store and have been searching ebay and amazon daily for a while.

i recently paid a ridiculous amount for TMNT special #11 ($85) on ebay. Dont really regret it because of my overpowering need to complete my collection and i expect to pay a large amount for these remaining 3 issues if i find them.

Try www.comicvendor.com they have "all" the old tmnt adventures, vol. 1 & 2, Image
and most of the specials. search both tmnt and ninja turtles also mutanimals.
You should be able to find what you need.

Altho I still need vol.4 # 25 & 26

[Floatingyeti]

thank you so much for directing me to that website! Now I have everything but TMNTA Special #10.

That website even had Furrlough 47,48, 52. I ordered $32 worth of books and my tmnt collection will be 99% complete with even the most obscure appearances up to 2001.

If anyone in this forum willing to sell me TMNT Special #10, please contact me.

Man, I got an email from mycomicshop earlier today saying that they now had Adventures Special 10 in stock. I was at work though, and by the time I got home - it was gone. I need it too.

How much did they sell it for?

[Floatingyeti]

I was at work when they emailed me. I'm sure it sold for a low price. I'd pay $50+ to get my hands on it.

$50 bucks? I just bought TMNTA Special #10 for $3.50 at my local shop. I can check and see if they have another if you want.

Absolutely. the chances of coming across one on ebay are slim and the winning price im sure would be over $30. No comic shop in my area has any decent back issue selection, for tmnt anyway. Any online comic shop has so many people monitoring that issue in there want list.

please pm me if you purchase another. thankyou

btw anyone else sick of going through alphabetical back issue bins for tmnt only to to find teen titans!

Thanks so much for posting that website! They did have the Furrlough issues with the Ninjara stories! :D I ordered everything they had that I was missing. People are paying that amount for #10 and #11? Hmm I have extra copies of both maybe I should put them on eBay. :evilgrin:

Well, I ordered Adventures 70 & 72, plus Mutanimals 9 a few days ago. Got a paypal refund this morning, with the owner apologising, saying that there is no stock. Wonderful.

[plastroncafe]

That site is impressive to look at, but damn they need someone to keep better stock of their inventory.

I had the same thing happen to me last week. Ordered the few issues I was missing, but didn't make the $25 minimum. So I ordered a bunch of fluff stuff...only to be refunded when none of my fluff stuff was in stock.

Aggravating, is what that is.

Wow, I never had any problems with my orders, but I guess I never ordered anything that was very hard to get.

and "yes" its aggravating when they don't update inventory

[ToTheNines]

I ordered on Feb 20th, and I have yet to recieve a refun OR my package. Wonder what's up...

[Floatingyeti]

I just got my package from comic vendor today. I only needed tmnta #70 and spent $24 on extras issues I didnt need just to order it. It wasnt in the package i received and no mention of a refund. i order a few issues of tmnt vol3 what i got instead were vol1 issues.

Anyone reading this thread I strongly advise to not order from Comic Vendor.

Same here! Damn them....
