My Old Collection..
I feel like such a moron. I used to have so many figures from the original series. When I was little my cousin gave me his toys, and now when I was looking on ebay I realised that I could actually have made money from these toys, and now I have NO clue where they are. I had the turtle van, about a dozen each of the four turtles, splinter and other characters such as Casey Jones, April, and Shredder. Most of the turtles were in different costumes though, I had ones that did flips when you pushed them down. I was looking on ebay and most of the toys I had are going for eight dollars each, and I never paid a cent for these. I have a little ninja turtle bag that was full of the toys. Someone should hit me. :( http://i7.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/b3/f6/68_1_b.JPG I had all of those, and I also had quite a bit more. Post more pics if I find any.

Well...if it makes you feel better, you're in the same boat as alot of other people...not myself, as I held on to pretty much everything somehow...but lots of people...
Oh...and welcome to the Technodrome!!! :D |
Heh, thanks for the welcome. I guess a lot of people would have gotten rid of them but I feel so dumb. I have the seasons 1-10 though on VHS. Heh, glad I didnt get rid of them. :D

Yea, I think alot of TMNT fans at some point (usu. the teenage years) didn't care much if anything about the turtles...its during those times that alot people either accidentally or intentinally get rid of their old stuff...then later, they kick themselves because now they want to get back into it and they hate knowing that they had so much more stuff aat some point....but oh well...at least you still have SOME stuff, like the tapes and all...thats a start!

I remember my mom said she was gonna give my old TMNT figures to Good Will or somethin' like that but I was lucky I found 'em. I would hate to have to give those figures up. I don't think I would be able to cope with it. I'm glad Myteefinestuff is around so I can get some figures I didn't buy when I was younger. They have a lot of memories attached to 'em that I wouldn't like to forget. I'm only missin' one Next Mutation figure and I don't think it's really worth lookin' for it.

As for the loss of a TMNT collection, well I had everything, but over time, books rip, VHS tapes/figures break, and stuff just plain gets thrown out. Well right now my Old School TMNT collection is about as good as it was, I got alot of books/magazines I had, I got the first three series of the action figures complete, every issue of the Archie series, and most every Mirage Vol. 1 issue, and other random stuff. |
I sold mine in a yard sale in grade 7 I regretted it once I got into the new show and comics... since then I have got them back ala ebay and have assembled a rather large collection of TMNT comics though there are still a few books I need to get along with image. Oh btw I also collect the new figs it was just like being a little kid again opening up those suckers even had to get my mom to get them for me agian (like when I was a kid) when she went to the US for a trip (I live in Canada we got them quite a bit later then the US).
I also through out an old poster I wish I didnt shortly before the show started. The main reason I got rid of my TMNT stuff back then was I wanted the money and didnt think I would be interested in it any more "they are for kids after all"... big mistake I got rid of it all except my flippin leo and raph along with movie star(s) mikey and original don. |
the only thing I have left from my entire original TMNT collection is a missing piece from a TMNT board game I used to have :( .
I wish I still had all my Turtle figures and all that. Last month, I did buy a video cassette of the current TMNT cartoon of which included a free Donatello figure, though, so that is a re-start :) . And I have the NES version of that TMNT commodore 64 game my brother used to have :) . |
my mom donated all of my stuff when I grew out of them for awhile, trying to rebuild my collection now ;)
|
be thankful for eBay...i know I am....
|
Lost mine before we went to Italy...mom sold them in a yard sell to "lighten the load" :( I had soo much TMNT stuff too....
|
Well I only ever had Raph!But I know how some of you feel as my older brother gave away like all my Transformers to my nephew along with other stuff when I was a teenager.I was in shock when I went to my brothers for a BBQ to find my Optimus Prime in a Mr.Turtle swimming pool!
