Smile TMNT Volume 4 #20 and #26

I am desperately trying to complete my Mirage TMNT volume 4 collection. Specifically, I am looking for 20, 25, 26, 29, and 30. However, at the moment I am most concerned with acquiring 29 and 30. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I now have #29 #25 and #30. Still need 20, 26.

What?!?
You get a post about issue 29 the same day? I've been looking for that issue forever... Sigh

Also, congrats on finding one!

Got me #29 off a forum member and #30 off an eBay listing that came up last night. $40 each. Not necessarily "steals," but I remember reading somewhere within the last couple of months that's roughly the going rate for these unsigned. Could be higher or lower now, idk. But considering how long I've been waiting for these books to appear, I'm satisfied!

I'm also looking to buy #29. And #28 (my local comic shop stopped buying the series right as it was ending). I found a copy of #29 on Ebay, but it's around $200 and I don't have that kind of money. Yet. One day.

Does anyone have a copy of the digital comic of #29? I haven't even read the story, and I understand that it used to be available online for free.

As a token of goodwill to any fellow Turtle fans who can help me out: I'll give you a tip for tracking down issues that you may be missing. You can buy a lot of the books directly from Mirage. According to the website, they even have copies of #30 for $15. I hope that helps.

Quite some time ago I bought a lot of books I needed from them and this issue was not available - it said sold out. I just went thru the site to purchase so fingers crossed they still have some! Last time I placed an order they had to refund me for a few books they no longer had

If you are still looking for Issue 28 then I have some ebay offers for you.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TMNT-Teenage...item4aca64ed32

Hope this helps you out. #29 is so incredible hard to find. Guess the only one harder to find is 26.

i bought 29 and 30 when they first came out. they had a full page sketch by peter laird on the inside cover, then i brought them to NYCC and had him and the Mirage crew sign the covers. ive moved so many times both issues are missing. i know they're somewhere, i just havent found them yet, which makes me super sad.

The prices for these books (#25 - #30 are very hard to find) will definitely not get lower. Especially after the new movie coming out next year.

I think they will eventually get lower several years down the road when TMNT fandom dies down. Especially if IDW decides to reprint volume 4 in a collection, making the stories more readily available. Nevertheless, this is why I was scrambling last fall to complete the run in anticipation of rising prices due to the popularity of the show bringing in new collectors. When I found it last fall, I picked up my copy of #26 for $5.

I'm a little confused. According to the forum guidelines, I'm allowed to reply to threads here; I just can't start them:

Maybe there is something I am missing- I wasn't trying to cause problems; I really thought I was following the rules.

Well hopefully you have better luck this time around.

For the record, my order came in last Thursday. They sent every book I ordered, including #30. I was hyper excited .

I just had a thought: I wonder if Mirage held on to some "investment" copies, anticipating that they would raise in value? Even at $15 ($5 over cover price), what they are charging is an awesome deal.

Replying to skirt 20 posts/1 week is shady....

That and thread-jacking is bad forum etiquette.

You resurrected a year old thread to try to solicit buying something because you couldn't start your own thread.

So did I. I just did a search for other people looking for the same thing. And I DID offer advice for other people looking for stuff: I could have saved a few folks here (including the OP) $15 or more had I found this place a year ago.

Regardless. It won't happen again.
