After a 20 long years, I have returned... - Page 2

Hey there, everyone! Jonaas here! As my thread title stated, I was a huge TMNT fan when I was a kid (Original cartoon, Original toys, and Archie Comics series). My interest waned when I turned 10 or 11 and I fell off. After sponsoring my nephew's interest in the 2003 series and toys, the birth of my son Jack last September and the release of the Classic Collection has prompted my full-blown return to the Turtles.

I've since purchased Jack all of the Nick series' basic figures, every vehicle but the Ninja Stealth bike, and the Secret Sewer Lair playset. I realize that my son is far too young to play with these toys, but he DOES sit in his Bumbo and watch intently as his father creates whole play scenarios with his future toys (I plan of giving him weaponless Battle Shell turtles to chew on sometime next year).

Also, Jack and I have JUST started watching the Nick series. I ****ing LOVE the show and Jack literally sits in my lap and stares at the screen for the duration of a 22-minute episode. I know, I know...it took a while for us to start watching, but the irony is that I spent the afternoon at the hospital before Jack was born playing Sewer Run on Nick.com.

So once again, I have returned...and I've brought a friend along with me!
