Back into collecting from OZ

[blown8]

Hi guys, Im 30 years old and live in Tasmania which is the small island state at the bottom of Australia, and im pretty much a big kid lol. Loved TMNT when i was a kid, it was probably the biggest thing during my childhood days. Got the sewer set when i was 9 or 10 for xmas. All up i had about 50 or more figures, plus the sewer playset and heaps more. Sadly about 12 months after i stopped playing with my figures my mum sold them to my cousin. I tried tracking them down through my Aunty but she gave them away years go, i was devestated. Anyway, im a collector of anything that interests me. I love AFL and cricket trading cards, i have a massive collection that started in 1994. Trading cards are my passion, but love anything collectable, rare, limited etc etc. I love the Simpsons and Futurama. So im a very all over the place collector but love what i collect and have some very nice pieces in my collection.
Ive just started to get my Turtle collection back bit by bit and found this site, thought i might join to learn more and be able to buy/trade what i need. Im only going after pre 1995 TMNT action figures and playsets. So far in the last month ive picked up a boxed cheapskate and turtlecycle, MOC Donatello, also 5 loose figures off ebay of splinter, foot soldier and others. Im looking to expand my collection, mainly loose figures, in played with condition or better. So if you have any pre 1995 loose ones lying around id be keen to hear it.

Hope to deal with you all soon.

Thanks guys. TMNT were huge when i was at school at the age of about 9, thats when it all started. Ive picked up a few figure so far, but looking to add more. Funny i collect TMNT figures and love trading cards but not TMNT trading cards. I guess the trading cards they were releasing back in the early 90's doesnt really interest me all that much. Thanks for the well wishes and hope to chat soon.

Welcome to the Drome. Question, do you see a lot of Tazz stuff around there?

[gobo]

Why do they call Australia "Oz"? It's not somewhere over the rainbow. It's somewhere downunder the rainbow, if anything. ^_^

Welcome to the Drome. Question, do you see a lot of Tazz stuff around there?

Do you mean as in Taz the Devil? From Loony toons? Their are heaps of Tassie devils around here. They are everywhere.

I have a question for you guys. Im chasing Leo's sword or 2 from the Giant Turtle range from the early 90's. I cant seem to find any on their own on ebay and cant seem to post in the for sale/wanted section for some reason, maybe because im a new member but that doesnt help me. Please help.
