The Primary Directory
This is a link to my primary collection directory. Sifting through this thing will technically show you more of my collection...but not all of it is sorted very nicely. Check it out at your own risk!

wow man, awesome collection. I love that you have replaced dishes and kitchen utensils with turtles :)

What happens if you set fire to the Technodrome being as its so close to the stove top?

...then....I suppose...the house would burn down? What a strange question lol. At any rate, I haven't used that stove in years. There isn't even gas running to it at the moment.

I've been in my current apartment since February and I've never even used the stove or oven :lol: Of course, my reason is because I can't cook worth squat.

holy shiznits! that is crazy. wow... just... wow.

Photowave Tew! Some Close-ups!

ooooooo... I was waiting for closeups! Awesome collection! Do you get your figures loose or do you keep the cards or what?

Red Party Cups! YAY!

I'm not picky about carded or loose. I've taken a number of my figs out of their package, especially when I have part of a subset partially out of the package already. I'll take them out of the package to display the whole group together.

it wouldnt hurt you to clean your collection once in a while. :D you should be particularly concerned about the dust on any of your items with cloth like the undercover turtles. I don't know, maybe it's a girl thing, but Im just picky about dust. :lol:

Most of them are clean. I clean stuff when I move it. The shelves themselves are what seldom get cleaned. So worst cast scenario, they have dusty feet. But yes...you are picky.

Besides...you try finding the motivation to keep over a thousand pieces clean. The kitchen is just a portion of the collection lol :-P

ohhh myy good¡¡¡ jj whaat did ur girlfriends tells u bout all those toys dude?

My girlfriend supports me in everything i do. As any significant other should...I frankly find it appalling how many people here are in relationships in which their ninja turtle passion (or any other passion for that matter) is a source of tension in their relationship... Honestly... if I was with someone who felt that negatively about such a big part of me...I wouldn't be with them for very long.

Something to consider gang.

This is very true dude!! My girl friend doesn't have to LOVE turtles but she is the kind of person who would NEVER suggest I not do something if she knows it is important to me. That is the most important thing, accepting each other the way we are! Mind you we do live in a VERY small place so I try to keep the displayed collection at a respectable minimum. BUT you bet it would all be out if I had a little more room. I don't think I could display it all even if I lived here alone hahaha.

Well said.. Some people collect shoes and clothes... Some people collect Turtles!!

I am waiting for the picture, Archon, of the closet with Turtles spilling out of it?!!!

jeje i mean mi gril dosent love turtles but she does give me 15 turtles and the vintage sewer 4 christmas ..she thinks is a waist of money but she loves that I am a big boy and she supports me two becuse she knows turtles are important to me...I mean i dont have ur collection or tatos but trust me she have never seen soo muchh turtles on her life till she meet me jeje


ps please some one answer my questions on comic section

The hand paint jobs are top notch, and there is flash plastic from the mold holes all over them.

I'm just going to quote what i said earlier...

By the way, a couple new items in today's mail:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/100_1002.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/100_1003.jpg

This Prototype, which I have posted on numerous occasions elsewhere, is my favorite piece.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/100_0872.jpg

His head....

Are those the ones that's been on eBay forever?

i dunno...maybe? I just thought they were fun, and I needed the mini's anyway.

wooow it kicks ass do u have more prototypes

and where do u get those...i have that toy jeje its kinnda cool pizza face right?

Yes, I have quite a few prototypes. I'll post pics soon.

Yes, It is the unreleased version of Pizza Face. And I get them from many different places. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get them from the original artists, and sometimes from ebay.

Additionally, I picked these up today...I have to say I am very impressed!

Hey, those aren't half-bad... no Shredder, though? Don't tell me Playmates is on another "Turtles only" binge....

think I have seen a pic with a mini shredder in a machine. but it could just be my imagination, they should have a mini foot army of mechas yarr

there is a shredder. Target just didnt have him. I dunno if it was released or not.

That's what I meant. Since you didn't see it, and we have no other reports of anyone else seeing it in stores yet... and with the fact that nobody's seen the allies and villains of the 25th anniversary re-releases yet... I fear Playmates is up to their old tricks still.

I got him today they only had one I'll post photos later.
I think these are very nice.
The only down side was that on the side of the box was an advertisment for the 3rd re-release of the ninja action tmnt figures.
I wish they would keep releasing figures that didn't sell well the last time they brought them out.
But these mini mechs are nice for sure.

Thanks for alleviating my paranoia, Vaughn. Ninja Action? You mean like the ones that do cartwheels and backflips? Why those of all figures? And did you mean you wish they'd quit re-releasing figures instead of keep?

Sure thing, and yes those are the ones I'm talking about.
They released them in the old line in a window box first, then they re-released them in 1996 on blister cards sans mikey for the 10th anniversary.
then they changed them slightly for the 2k3 ones adding shredder, splinter, and a foot soldier.
Now they plan to bring them out again but only yhe 4 turtles.
You know I was thinking today how lucky those of us who grew up with the classic line are because we got variants of other characters like Bebop & Rocksteady. I'd really like to see atleast one more Hun figure.
Woops! Yes what I mean is I wish they would stop releasing figures that went on clearance the last time they released them which was what like 3 years ago or something lol.
They have so many things from their vast archive of toys they could bring out again but they choose things like that.

How much were the mini mechs?

Dammit! >.<

Hell yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The old line had all sorts of Splinter, April, Bebop & Rocksteady variants... Hell, even Mondo Gecko had one!

Yeah what a bunch of French showers.

This came today. Just one more of these big guys left to get :-)

Leonardo...if you happen to have him :-)
