Hm, ive got quite a few watchers so far. Oh and to those of you saying "too expensive" I would like to know compared to what?

Price them loose on MyTeeFineStuff with all accessories.. even if 1 person bids and they go for 70 dollars and I pick up the 10 dollar shipping you wont find these ANYWHERE for 60 dollars.. let alone in this condition/as a set/with weapons and such. Now I do agree, for plastic toys 70-100 dollars is high, but that is honestly NOT overpriced compared to their current ebay values infact i think i was being quite fair.

You don't have to buy them, but don't chime in with ridiculous "your asking too much" posts. Now, I can't afford this posts those are fine.. but don't try to tell me I'm asking too much because it simply is not the case.

First of all, myteefinestuff is the worst possible referance in the universe. They hike up the prices so far beyond that which they're actually worth, & for what their 'rarity' deems.

Second of all, movie star turtles (even with weapons) turn up alot more then you seem to think. As for 'current ebay values', when it comes to TMNT collectibles, almost everyone on ebay has a horrible idea of worth. If you see it listed, its likely too high of a price. The 'deals' or rather listings with what they're really worth, go quickly. I for one managed to get each of my turtles for around 7$ a peice, complete. Its not a matter of seller ignorance either, they know enough to keep figures complete & list them as such... they know what they're doing.

Third of all, freedom of speech... We can chime in on it as we please. This is a TMNT forum, we know our sh!t. You're the one who (as it seems-take no offense) joined to sell off your toys as opposed to sharing your love of the fandom.

"You're asking too much".

The price seems fair. I mean, it's 10 figures at $70 which puts them at $7 a piece. I think even $10 each is still within range as they are rare. I'd pay $15 a piece if they were unopened and in original packaging. The set looks tempting, but then I'd be wasting money on just having toys to pose and look at. I have a bunch of WWE figures on a shelf and only a handful are worth keeping now. Still, I payed a lot for them over the course of each purchase.

Also, I'm surprised that those toys are in such great condition. Having brothers made it difficult for me to preserve my older toys. I do currently own a bunch of the 2K3 TMNT figures and have them displayed on my wall in their original, unopened packaging.

Well I guess opinions are like ass holes then.

At any rate, I am including 10 figures + 4 additional figures for at minimum 70 dollars with 60 of that being actual cash in my pocket. Your definition of fair or overpriced matters not to me because it is my OPINION that I am offering a great deal to any collector/enthusiast.

As to your accusations that I joined your forum simply to peddle my wares, they are completely unfounded. This is the only thread I have EVER made for selling a toy.. and just because I have a low post count does not question my fandom it simply means I don't have as much time to muse over the turtles as yourself.

Take it with a grain of salt, after all it is just my opinion.

I'd buy 'em... but I have too many purchases on the go as it is. I hope to get the 4 movie turtles someday. IMO, 70 bucks isn't too expensive compared to some of the figure lots I've seen lately.

Good luck man... I'd never want to part with those!
