Hello fellow Dromers!

Just wanted to take a second to introduce myself here, my name is Nick and I'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

I am 33 and have been a TMNT fan since I first saw them on TV in 89 (delayed release where I lived in Alaska).

I recently came full circle to my turtle fandom when my 7 year old son came up to me a few weeks back and said "Dad! I just saw the coolest thing EVAR! it's these turtles that have like, swords and stuff and they kick this guy Shredders butt, It's totally awesome...nevermind, you wouldn't like it..."

So I proceeded to laugh and climb up in the attic (that revered home of so many treasures forgotten) and retrieve a lowly unmarked cardboard box...

It was the wrong one.
and another...
and another...
nothing.

Where had my beloved turtles gone?

Still haven't found them, but I have since bought all the figures in the new line (twice, gotta have one MOC, right?) and love playing one of my favorite things with my son.

Also I would be remiss to leave out that I decided to start reacquiiring my "lost turtle treasures" via Ebay and the forums here. Is it just me or did they multiply exponentially since I was a kid?

Thanks for having me here and I look forward to being an active part of the community.
-Nick

BTW Donatello is the best turtle, period. But Usagi was my favorite non turtle.
