Buried treasure
 

Behind my house there's this shed.. old, decrepit, moldy, vermin infested almost tomblike. So, being me I decide to explore it. (cue Indiana Jones theme) and there's these spare doors we never used in the way so I try and push em out, but they almost fall on me, I'm lucky I didn't get hurt. I find this old chest half-buried in the ground. So what would any curious kid do? I dig it out and bring it to my garage, I start to open it.. (cue scene from Ocarina of Time when Link finds an important item and the chest's all glowy) DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! it's full of Vintage turtles and a Stretch armstrong. It gets weirder, these were the exact turtles I needed to complete my collection. The stretch armstrong is long since gone, but the turtles live on at my shelf. by the way, I kept Stretch's head and his filling in a bucket.

Oooh, that's super lucky! I remember breaking my armstrong and playing with the contents until my parents took it away from me.

How old do you think the figures are?

I looked at their foot/butt, and it said about 1990-1992

*envy* I want one ;_;

Those would go quick on ebay.

Wow! Who would bury that kind of treasure??? @_@ LUCKY FIND!

Wow, Stretch Armstrong? Do you remember the Stretch TMNT they made?

Holy crap! That is awesome!
