Just getting into the comics and all this TMNT stuff. Help me!

Hey everyone, I recently came upon this forum because I got into the comics recently(after having seen some of the original show), and i joined after a couple of weeks of lurking, and the community here seems pretty great. Now, as for what comics I currently own,

I have issues 5-11 of the original series
the 7 issues of the original tales of the tmnt,
the new series, and the comic of the second movie.

I've got a few questions for those of you who are experienced in the TMNT comics, and those are

A) The turtles are my first comic, (and probably only one that I could manage) ever. I like having the single issues, because maybe one day i'll be able to say I have every single issue. (I know it's silly, but collectors mentality makes me want to have each issue as opposed to collections.) What's the best way to get theses issues? Will people here be able to help me out? As for my local scene it's pretty dead. There is one comic book shop within my area that has old stuff, (TMNT is considered old apparently), and I've kind of already picked them over.
(And yes I see there is a thread that kind of answers this, but I'm also kind of asking how I can maximize my bang for my buck?)

B) What are the best series in general? Are there any that are considered bad, or that shouldn't be read?

C)What order should I read all these different series? Is there a "best" way?

Thanks in advance for the help guys!
