~Oh, well, if you want to take into account *supporting* the TMNT Empire-- lol! I once made a joke that the only way I was going to ever break even on the amount of cash I've spent on Ninja Turtles was by marrying Kevin or Peter. Or both of 'em.
Yeah, I've watched the cartoon from Day One (though I will admit, my first encounter was more like a six a.m. plea to my kids to PULLEEEZZE turn the volume down on that!)
Since then the cost of breakfast cereal, hundreds(?--seems like it) of action figures, vehicles, comic books, story books, tapes (anyone remember those?) icecream bars, toy weapons, cards, videos, posters, plushies, snack thingies, candy, valentines day cards, costumes, video games, and movies should have made me a stock holder of some importance...heh...
Then there came *my* trips to the SanD Con, time invested in writing fanfics, creating my web site.....Ye gods....I don't wanna add all this up....
Now I'm depressed.
