while most
of you come here because you played with turtles as a child and grew up with them , i come here so i can keep up on the latest info for my son, as i was done with toys when the turtles came out. but with my sons love of them, i came to love them too.

but , like in most kids lives , things (toys & hobbies ) come and go. and for my son , the turtles are no longer #1. he LOVED them for almost 4 years which is a really long time in kid time. but all good things must come to an end. he dont play with the toys ( and we managed to collect them all, 2k3 and on) anymore, doesnt watch the cartoon anymore, all interest is gone.

what brought this end to us? a few things. 1 . fast forward , enough said. 2. he was really into them for a LONG time. 3. this is the big one ........................ the TRANSFORMERS. yes the transformers are mostly responsible for the turtles demise in our house.
so one 80's icon brings down another 80's icon.
the turtles will be missed.
i think i'll still collect the dvds for him and MAYBE the new movie figs,just so the collection is complete.

the turtles join a short list of other favorites that have perished
the wiggles (thank god!)
thomas the tank engine ( damn those little trains are $$$$$$)
and now TMNT

the only thing he still loves and this has been since he is 1 1/2 is super MARIO. i guess as long as nintendo keeps krankin out games , he will love him. and besides who doesnt love their wii?

i will still check up on the guys, .,,sorry im all choked up , i got to go have a good cry now ..... no im only kidding , im going to find transformers now! see you at the toy section !

bye,
