well ive been collecting for about 9 years now , this really didnt cost much ,i picked up most of the figures for about $1 to $2 . you dont have to look very close to see that they are not the greatest examples , im not too picky about condition, so i guess i just buy the leftovers that the mint collector just didnt want.i got weapons through ebay lots ,and i ask almost everyone i meet if they have any old action figures that they want to sell,you can build a fast and good collection by tossing someone $20 for a box of old toys ,oh and make a few $ too,i used to give any foot soldiers to an old friend, but now i just keep them . why not ? and yes usagi was my favorite as a kid and i seem to find him everywhere.i have had about a million sewer samurai leos ? was that the most heavily produced figure ? was the triceratron your favorite?also i am one of those tmnt fan/collectors that have quite a large collection of figures , advertising ,and merchandise , but i do not have a clue about the comics or art, so most of my money and efforts went to the toys,i was a fan of the toon and the movies , until the neca statues came out i never heard of the comic book, i remember thinking how stupid stupid it was that they all had raphs mask on ?
