Hey guys, what's up?

DjJumboSlice · 07-19-2013, 10:54 AM

I'm 29 years old and have been a TMNT fan since I received the original sewer playset for my 5th birthday.

I sold my original figures off sometime before college but have regretted it ever since.

A couple months ago I was diagnosed with mono and was bed ridden for a few weeks. This afforded me lots of time to read trough the original Eastman/Laird comic run and surf ebay for vintage figure auctions. I've purchased all the figures I had as a kid plus ones I always wanted but was never able to find. My collection is well over 40 figures now

. Just shows you that awesome things can come out of having unpleasant viruses.

I've also been picking up a few of the new Nick cartoon figures here and there.

I plan on growing my collection and was looking for a place to talk about awesome finds with other fans, so I thought I'd sign up for this site.

Look forward to talking with you guys.

Later.

-Matt

Welcome to the Technodrome forums! I hope you'll enjoy meeting and talking with fellow TMNT fans here! It sounds like you've got a good collection of TMNT items! I also hope you'll get better soon.

Hey!

Feel like I'm in the same boat as you; 29 now, became a fan at about 5 years old (Never had that awesome sewer playset though, only the Party Wagon. Do you still have that playset?)

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

I do not, unfortunately. I currently don't have that much space to properly display playsets, so I'm just going to focus on the figures for now. But if I see a decent deal on a Technodrome, I might change my mind...

Hi DjJumboSlice! I'm still working on re-collecting my old figures as well.

Nice. All have mine have been from ebay, except for a black Super Shredder I found on amazon.
