Seen on Facebook and Twitter several people have gotten a special Nickelodeon TMNT pizza sent to them... I am curious what it is all about? And if the pizza was any good...:P

Did Nick make the pizza themselves or did they outsource to, like, Pizza Hut or something and just provide the slick boxes?

That is all you know right? There is no nefarious turtle conspiracy (points to the person who can correct that)...is there?

This is by far the most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me and I'm deeply touched.
Who knows if I will even be a fan of the new series?
But I'll tell you this much, my respect for Nickelodeon has skyrocketed.
It also feels nice to have your talents which normaly go unoticed talked about and respected by people in charge of something you care a great deal about.
I'm very excited and happy about goings on with this show and you folks should be as well.
I've never been one to brag and as you all know any information of rare things I come across I've always been happy to share with the other fans.

I apologize in advance if I come off sounding like an afterschool special here, but it makes me feel badly that your enjoyment of your achievement is being taken away from you by the sour-grapes of a few other people.
If I have learned anything from fandom (and this one in particular) you need to have a thick skin and learn to just take what others say with a grain of salt. The important thing here is, you're happy.
You are getting this amazing chance and you can't let a few other bitter individuals ruin it for you. Fandom is what you make of it and I personally always try to make it fun. I won't lie I had a little spat of jealously the first time I read this thread (I think probably every fan here did :twink:) but that passed for me and then I just started to appreciate much like I said in my last post the fact that our portion of the fandom has a voice now.
And honestly I am pretty pleased with everyone that has been picked because while not knowing any of you personally you all seem fairly well spoken and open minded, which I think is important.
So enjoy whatever is happening and please tell us all about it as soon as you can :tgrin:
I hate this thread.
I hate to once again state the obvious, but if you hate it; don't come here then. No one is forcing you to :tconfuse:

I personally am so excited that Nick is reaching out an any way to the real fans of turtles....
I have a good feeling about this show.... I can't wait til you can tell us what this is about with the boxes! I have a feeling we may never be allowed to know until the show is out though.... and I know I wouldn't risk whatever invite they got for anyone.

The point being brought up that the people in charge care about the longtime fans is really cool. Sure, it sucks that we're not as up-to-date as our Golden Ticket winners, but whatever. It's still awesome that Nick cares about us. Ever since they bought the TMNT, some of us have become increasingly jaded because, "The big corporate machine won't care about us like the independent comic studio did!"

And as stated, there's an NDS no one can talk about what they mean so all of this is incredibly pointless. If people were allowed to talk about it, they would. That's not hording info.

Exactly. That and we're not sure why those who were chosen were chosen. Yes some are huge names in the community, but there are others who are also well known for their near obsession with the Turtles who didn't. We can't jump to the "Oh, well of course Rose, Vaughn, and Stephan got boxes....I mean the pulled stings." It's just juvenile.

I personally think this is a very nice thing from Nickelodeon. I feel happy to see that they care for the fans, and this is a good way of showing. Also, it makes perfect sense that the guys that were chosen to receive the pizzas can't talk by now, but I'm sure they will as soon as they can, and there's no reason to hold any bad feelings against them (when they've given so much to this community).
There probably are some other people that deserved to get one but didn't, but in my opinion we shouldn't get all negative about this just because of that.

Exactly. I wasn't being mean spirited at all, but maybe that's hard to tell on a message board. If sarcasm is mean spirited, then I'm afraid most of us here are guilty. Sorry if my comments offended people, perhaps hoarding wasn't the right word. That kinda makes you sound like a cave troll :) perhaps I should have used "withholding". Anyway, I know you can't speak about the details but I think it was a little unfair to single my comment out.
Mr. Jester I wasn't saying anyone pulled strings...I didn't single anyone out by name...I don't even know (even on a message board level) the people named. By all means I'm still a noob to the Drome. So sorry if I offended people. I'm just excited about this, like I believe most of the people here are. I'm sure none of us meant any harm, and I think all the tension is unnecessary.

It's a matter of jealousy plain and simple. People are upset that some TMNT fans were favored over others when they themselves feel just as worthy. In some ways that's understandable but as for me, It doesn't matter who got what but I am curious just the same.

One thing I don't get, the execs at Nickelodeon are completely different people, and not the same ones that were in contact with fans the same way Mirage and some 4kids staff members were.
How would Nickelodeon people know who the TMNT fans are? Its not like the Mirage guys like Murphy/Dan/Jim/Michael Dooney, etc. who always kept friendly with the fans, or even some of the 4kids guys like Lloyd Goldfine or such.
Are there people working on the Nick show who have also worked on other TMNT stuff before? Are any 4kids writers/animators gone over there?

Two of the receipients were on the Season 7 DVD being interviewed as hardcore fans. That may have tipped them off to who to send to.
- Does everyone who got one run a TMNT website or any sort of general entertainment website where TMNT news might be relevant? That can be a major deciding factor as well.
- Also, how recently and often do the receipients post on the Technodrome?
- Lastly, what pizza chain did they use and does that pizza chain exist in the areas of other deserving people who may not have gotten one?
Is there anything else I'm missing? If not, I think we need to get Ninja-ier :twink: and figure this stuff out.

Rose, Stephan, and Vaughn all have TMNT themed blogs. Machias is the wild card. She is a contributer at Go Green Machines (Stephan's Blog), as am I, but the 2 of us very rairly post content (Usually it's tOkKa and the man himself, Stephan.) She is a senior member of this forum, bosting the highest post count.
Then again, are we sure these 4 are the only ones?
As for pizza chains, Rose said Red Brick and Machi said Dominos...so..yeah.

How would Nickelodeon people know who the TMNT fans are?
Here's a theory that just occurred to me.
Maybe the fans were chosen because their real names were more publicly available than most other fans who hide behind bizzare usernames or alias?
But again, it doesn't answer all the questions. Only Spongebob knows for sure.

They're not legally capable of using story plots from fans anyway.

Seems everyone involved at least contributes to TMNT fandom beyond forum posts, even if only a little. While there may have been other deserving contributors that never recieved a pizza, we know that the common thread is contribution.
As for other people we don't know possibly getting them, Google says that they're not talking. The only relevant result I can get is this very thread. I would guess that anyone else who got one is probably part of something more similar to IGN, which covers a multitude of things.
That's all speculation, though. Speculation that's making me hungry.

Really? That's all that matters?
I think theres enough info in this thread to put two and two together to have a fairly good idea whats going on. As for the choosing method its definitely unfair but what method isn't? Anyways I'm glad some members of the fandom got it :).
Anyways the real question I have from this is why is Nickelodeon promoting and creating buzz for this show that will not air for a year and a half? I don't know its kinda puzzling, this is a show not a movie, definitely good news though. It wouldn't surprise me if we actually get info at SDCC.
Good job giving us the details on that Rose.

There was a sheet of wax paper under the pizza to keep the box from getting greasy, though some still got through on the edges. On mine, at least. Nothing terrible, though.

This is by far the most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me and I'm deeply touched.
Who knows if I will even be a fan of the new series?
But I'll tell you this much, my respect for Nickelodeon has skyrocketed.
It also feels nice to have your talents which normaly go unoticed talked about and respected by people in charge of something you care a great deal about.
I'm very excited and happy about goings on with this show and you folks should be as well.
I've never been one to brag and as you all know any information of rare things I come across I've always been happy to share with the other fans.
Looking back on the thread up to this point, there wasn't really any real animosity or whining about who got a box and who didn't. There were more questions, quotes, jokes, and congratulations than anything. The only real complaints I saw were in regards to LionsGate.

So at first I was hesitant to announce that I had procured one of the said pizza boxes. But after thinking about it, when it was delivered to me, my co-workers and clients were present, so other people have seen it obviously... and since others have been so proud to display their pizza boxes, then I will follow suit, it's only fair for all of the fans to see, as I accept it in the honor of all turtle fans. Now, for the video... Included in this video, is the evidence of my pizza box and a look at my collectibles that I have attained over a span of more than 20 years (sorry for the bad lighting in some of it it was put together rather quick) and some of my artwork to share with those who haven't seen them and also not to waste a video on just showing a pizza box. I think everyone that has received one of these pizza boxes holds in their heart the best interest of all turtle fans that have loved and cherished them over decades, just as I have. I would have gladly shared a slice of the pie with any of you guys and gals, you are all my brothers and sisters. I feel like a schmuck because it took me so long to become part of this family and I only boast a pathetic 30 some posts on this forum.

They have brought me happiness in so many trying times, have given me a hobby, and inspired me to become an artist. I have made videos, one that remained at the videos page of the TMNT25 website which to my surprise has managed to have been viewed almost 20,000 times, I've kept TMNT in view where I live through my art, displaying bits of my collection in my tattoo room, though so many have pretended to forget them, they are always recognized by my clients and tales of memories ensue. Nothing else has been a part of my life for 23 years outside of my family except for the TMNT. I don't know if all of this makes me worthy of one of these pizza boxes... but.....

I'll just say a couple things:
1. Yes I received one.
2. Echoing what GK said a bunch; those of us who got one are screaming on the inside to share everything. I promise you we will let you know what we can, when we can.
3. I agree that there are a number of fans who should have been in on this, that were not; However let me just say that those of us who ARE involved had no final say on who else they chose, so please don't look at us to throw stones at.
4. If it makes you feel any better, my pizza tasted like plastic. Not sure which element of the box caused this, but something definitely made it's way from that box into that pizza.

I agree! Stupid Lion's Gate and Nickelodeon, they clearly hate the fans and are having a revenge on them by witholding Turtles Forever Uncut and more seasons of the old kid's cartoon! Will anyone join my boycott of both of them?!
Seriously, though, there is no reason for me to go to this. "Mr. Modeen, we know you don't watch or like any of the TMNT cartoons... but how do you feel about this TMNT cartoon?" (assuming that's even what this is about)
That's pretty ass that Tokka didn't get one. That's pretty ass indeed. In fact, that makes me a bit angry.

4. If it makes you feel any better, my pizza tasted like plastic. Not sure which element of the box caused this, but something definitely made it's way from that box into that pizza.
It was the oooooze! Didn't you ever taste the stuff when you were a kid? Bleuch.

My pizza tasted and smelled like plastic too, I ate a slice and my boss ate a slice, then we tossed it out which I was hesitant to do at first with all the starving people in the world but it was awful, however I didn't linger on that fact, I was like "Cool, free Turtles pizza box woohoo!"

I'm not going to go back through the thread to find out if it was already, but were these delivered by a legitimate pizza delivery man/woman? If so, did you ask them if they could find 122 1/8?
I know, it's really lame and [cringe] nerdy, but I ask every pizza delivery person I encounter. Not a single one has known what I was referring to.

Yes, these pizzas were made and delivered by local pizza places. I can only guess that the boxes were sent out days ahead of time and then delivered.

I'm going to asume it was the plastice sleeve inside the box above the pizza that caused this.

Okay now I feel like a jackhole because I was just smelling my pizza box thinking about what people would think if they walked in on me doing it. Would they lead themselves into disappointment when they find out that they won't be getting any pizza and then asking themselves why I was smelling a box with no pizza in it? How long would the story be when I explained my actions to them? Anyway, luckily that didn't happen......the printing ink does have the same smell, but the plastic on the inside of mine is what I think caused it...... and now this thread is about pizza smells.

Take it from a chronic worrier: you worry too dang much. :P
I am guessing those pizza boxes are presspacks with an embargo on the content. ;)
Fair shout to those stateside that got themselves a delivery.

By the way, none if this is really happening, this is all a fabricated reality that we're experiencing. The people that got pizza boxes have been willing it so for a long time, it just took a very long time for this concept to manifest itself as an opportunity. Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream, and with that I say that I wish I could share this dream with you all.

I have another theory. Peter Laird never sold the Turtles and is in fact using this moment to destroy his greatest detractors. The pizza....was poisoned!!
Suddenly it all starts to make sense...

Someone should grill the Nick execs asking them what were they thinking by releasing a bare-bones, cut and full-screen version of the Turtles Forever DVD...
...ESPECIALLY when Lloyd Goldfine constantly reminded them of the uncut version, even giving them the poster to use for the cover, etc.
Seriously, what the hell was THAT about? Tell them to make amends.

I wonder how many outside the 'Drome community also got boxes? Carol Zara posted her's on FB.
I'm sure they sent out plenty, videogame companies do this all the time, especially when they send review copies out. They want to create buzz and get in the good side of certain people.
GK Punk

I'd be very surprised if it was limited to The Technodrome.
Venom

Of course it wouldn't be, that's why I'm curious how many got sent out. Since all of you are getting a trip to Burbank one would think it could be a few hundred.
Jester
03-21-2011, 10:24 PM
Some one I talked to mentioned 20. Only 14 more to track down.
Like I said before. I am guessing they're Press Packs of some kind. IIRC The recipients of the boxes are owners/hosts of TMNT blogs/domains, although Tok did'nt get one and neither did Mikey QM(?). Must have got lost/eaten in transit.
As for Turtles Forever. We're getting the uncensored version down in UK land ;).

Yeah.... It was totally my bad for posting the pic. I posted it for the benefit of those fans on my facebook page who wanted to know what was in the box, but since I'm not a regular Technodrome reader, I didn't realize there was a huge discussion going on here. And since the logo and other pics had already been posted by other recipients, I didn't think it would be a big deal. Yes, I signed an NDA, so it would be MUCH appreciated if you could remove the pic from your post. If you would be so gracious. Thanks. :toops:
