Hello from a lifelong TMNT fan!

nevermore · 05-21-2008, 04:24 PM

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

I have enjoyed browsing the site so far seeing all your collections.

I have been a TMNT fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching the shows and the movies as kid. More recently though my interest was reignited after I watched the complete cartoon series over the last few months. My friend had the episodes on DVD, so I was able to watch them, but the quality really sucked. Some of the episodes even had German(?) subtitles. Despite the poor quality, the cartoons brought back so many memories for me. I have yet to see the new TV show and the new movie from last year. Are those even worth watching? How do they match up to the original show?

I have never been a TMNT collector, but have always been big into baseball cards and the Yankees (my page). However, I still have my TMNT toy collection from when I was a kid, plus I have added a few more items over the years. First time was when I was at KB Toys getting a birthday gift for my brother and I saw that they had the original TMNT figures for 3/$10. Needless to say, I couldn't pass up on that deal, I bought the four Turtles with Splinter and Shredder at the time. That was all I could find, too bad they didn't have the rest of the original set. (I guess I will have to turn to eBay for those

) The second time was in 2003 at a flea market, a lady there was selling loose TMNT figures for three for a dollar. As an impulse buy, I bought $3-4 worth. I can't remember what they were since I can't find them at the moment.

After browsing the site and seeing the new stuff, I really like the design of the new NECA figures and the statues. I will have to pick those up eventually after I save up the cash. Right now though, I am looking to get April, Bebop, Rocksteady and Foot to finish the set of original figures. I have no idea what the going price is for the figures (sealed), so if someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Is there an online price guide for TMNT? Being a card collector for many years, I am also looking to pick up sealed boxes of the TMNT Topps Cards Series I & II for my collection.

Thanks for the read guys.

Welcome to the board! As for your figure and trading card needs Ebay is by far the best resource. You could also post a WTB (wanting to buy) post in the buy/sell/trade section of the forums and see if anyone can help you. You could probably pick up an original April with the blue stripe on Ebay fairly cheaply, she's quite common. Anyway, again, welcome to the board!
