*Powder* · 03-22-2014, 02:12 PM

No problem, I just wish I knew when it was going to be. & thanks a lot!

Just out of curiosity, when vol 3 is re-released will it increase the value of the original comics. I noticed another member sold a set last week for around $200. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to the value of comics.

*MrPliggins* · 03-22-2014, 11:00 PM

I would guess that if anything, it would lessen their value. I think part of the reason people are paying a lot now for volume 3 is that it isn't really available anywhere else.

looking at the tpb's, whats the difference between the "TMNT classics" and the "tales of the TMNT"? maybe thats a dumb question but im genuinely confused.

Tales of the TMNT collects issues of the Tales of the TMNT series.

TMNT Classics collects issue of the main TMNT series not done by Eastman or Laird (their issues are collected in the Ultimate Collection and The Works collections).

Hello. I have never read a TMNT comic book in full before, except for the very first issue. I don't have any intention of collecting each individual comic to read.

I just want to know the best way to get compilations of all the Mirage comics (Volume 1, 2, 4, and Tales of the TMNT Volume 1, 2). Black and white or color, whichever is available. I understand some people are saying that the IDW hardcover reprints of Volume 1 have some issues, but do those issues detract in any way from the comics for newcomers like me?

Also, are there any collections of the Dreamwave comics from 2003 in print? I could only find Volume 1 on Amazon.

twopinacoladas · 03-23-2014, 10:49 PM

Dreamwave had a collection of at least the first 1-4 comics or so. The IDW hard covers are a good way to go in my opinion some of the issues appear kind of light and Vol 4 I believe there are 2-3 issues that do not have shading but for the most part if you want the main canon Mirage Vol 1 stuff its a good route to go. You will miss some stuff but they are presented and bounded nicely just a few issues that have major problems. Although had you not known there was shading missing you might not have noticed any how but they do look a little more like coloring book pages.

The colored First Publishing books 1-4 would also be good they are not black and white but they would be a good option.

I just remembered as I have them and checked they are in stock on Mirage's website for sale and they are considerably cheaper than othe options books II III IV and V are only $7 each.

You could go to ebay for the early vol 1 issues and maybe find the remaining issues for a good price, Vol 4 is on Mirage's site some issues are sold out, likely same with Tales. There is a compilation book that was released with Tales Vol 1, IDW may have released one as well. It will cost a bit to find and collect individual issues of Vol 4 and Tales vol 2 but I think they released some of those in collections as well.

Keeping an eye on ebay and being patient you may be able to get a good deal although I don't know if they are harder to come by with the popularity of the new show... it took me years to collect just about everything.

spookycookies · 03-23-2014, 10:50 PM

So about IDW Utroms, in Utrom Empire they harvested Dinosaur DNA and talked about Krang's father Quanin... flash forward to much much later relative to our timeline. My question is do Utrom's live an extremely long life because of Ooze or does time flow differently in Dimension X to Earth?

Thanks! I will probably wait until all Mirage volumes are properly released.

There is also a Dreamwave vol. 2 collection titled Out of the Shadows with the synopsis and some art from the 8th (non-published) issue that was planned but never came to fruition. Included is the Amazon link to it.

azrael · 03-24-2014, 08:53 AM

Where is the download link for issue 31 vol 4? I found peters blog but I was looking for the cover that Andrew "fixed"

dkram230 · 04-02-2014, 03:57 PM

So I dropped out of collecting TMNT comics for about 4-5 months and am now in the process of trying to catch up and snatch what I missed. All the releases seems as expected for value and rarity except for the RI TMNT/X-Files which sells around $40-$50 and the RI Utrom Empire #1 which is going for over $100!

The X-files high(ish) price is a minor inconvenience but what is up with that Utrom Empire #1 RI?! There have been 1:25 variants before and they don't generally spike like that! And in looking at eBay history it seemed to do so rather quickly- like within 2 weeks.

rich · 04-02-2014, 04:06 PM

Retailer Incentive (RI) copies (regardless of ratio...1:10, 1:25, etc.) are all based on sales from single retailer orders. For a new title (which this is), retailers had to take a larger risk than normal and buy 25 copies of the issue to just get one copy of the incentive. Then, they also have 25 copies of the regular cover they need to offload as well (on a title that may or may not sell well). So, only larger retailers typically will take this risk and, even then, they won't typically order more than 25 copies. That leaves fewer copies available.

It's basically just supply and demand. In this case, more demand than supply = higher prices. Trying to predict when this will occur is very hard.

Bossanova · 04-02-2014, 08:27 PM

i just got issue 32, does raph kill one of the assassins in the barn, all 4 are knocked out but one has x's for eyes, and then when fleeing there are only three of them. just curious is all

At least 4 printings for that issue. I have 1st, 3rd, and 4th printings for #11 in my collection. Not sure if a 5th printing exists for #11 but I can confirm 5th printings do exist for most issues between #1-9.
