i am loving my life right now..i wish i could open the figs tho..oh well tomorrow i am heading to KB to buy myself another set to open!

WOw that old van is just so.....so...... :-? im speechless, to see them compared like that side-to-side.....

so retro. i dont know. but cute :P

i know that last pic is my favorite, just shows you how differnt this cartoon will be :D

So so? Bow to the might of the old VAN!!!!

so the old van is the same size as the new one eh? that's good. so now i don't really NEED to get it (although i might if the conditions are right)

now all i need is to find them :(

no it is bigger...about 3 inches longer and maybe 2 inches wider

i don't think the new figures would fit very well in the old

that sucks :(

but i guess as long as the top closes i'll be fine. :wink:

Wow, that does look sweet! I saw it for $20 at target, hmm just might have to get it now. Heh, I hadnt seen that old van and ages, but seeing it next to that new one, ack! Very primitive, heh. Though I will say from what Ive seen the old TMNT lair playset looks cooler than the new one.

One of these days I'll get up off my butt and get a job..

Woah, sweet find, BigThew! Where did your dad buy the armored car? I've looked everywhere for it, and I can't seem to find it. Btw, I like how you placed the original Turtle Van next to the new one. I can't believe how much detail the new stuff has.

one question . . . are the turtles shorter than shredder or are they the same size?

They're a little shorter.

foot are a little shorter than shred then turtles shorter than foot splinter is the midget of the group w/ a knife that come outa his walking stick :lol:

azure:...my dad found it at target, i am pretty sure all targets get the van, i was talking to some people in MO and they saw some at target

I definatly need to complete my set of TMNT figures.

how come you opened your vehicles and not your action figures :-?

I never understood the notion of not opening figures...theres ways of doing it so you can slip them back in without any noticeable damage to the packaging. Figures are meant to be displayed, not in a package. Especially at $8.50 a head, thats a lot of money if were talking doubles to be bought just to open a set. So yeah, theyre meant to be played with or displayed! hehe

i opened my vehicles because i just needed to open something :D

i am keeping 2 sets...one to open one to keep in the packages...

the reason i keep them in the package is because they look great displayed and completely untouched, i want some to be displayed while the rest are out of the package, and i got my for 6 bucks a peice, that is 12 bucks for two figures...basically the same price i would pay for the McFarlane figures i buy, so it is really no loss

It is quite funny, that even though all the Targets in my areas are clean sould out of 5" figures, they still have all the vehicles and RPG toys.

I got the Shell Cycle the other day, which is the only wehicle I'm going to get. But I have plans for this bike.. not only is it going to be taken out of box, it's also going to be repainted! No matter to me, cause I don't see it as being THAT valuable.

I do have a couple of the original release TMNT still MOC anyway... cause they are just too plain wierd to play with anyway (not to mention a little old!)

Man, the original van looks so cheap now that I look back on it.. :lol:
