Greetings From North of the Wall... I mean Border

Hey all,

My name is Ian and this is my first official post on the Technodrome Forums.

I attended the Calgary Expo last year, where I met the original TMNT voice cast (Barry, Townsend, Rob and Cam) and after talking with them and getting their autos, I decided that I wanted to collect TMNT comic books. Specifically, Mirage's Volume 1. Not being an avid collector, I've been doing a lot of research and auction watching online before making any purchases. I have a couple of CGC rated books, but I am more interested in collecting raw books.

I grew up with TMNT and the nostalgic feeling I get from them is my current high. However, I've been bitten by the bug and have found myself collecting ALL of the Mirage volumes, as well as various other TMNT comics that are out there. I'm quickly realizing which books are the most elusive, but I'm enjoying the hunt none-the-less.

If you've got TMNT books for sale, I'll be eager to check'em out. But being based in Canada, I always have to take shipping costs into account with my purchases. I also have a handful of TMNT comics I plan on selling in the near future, so I'll be sure to let everyone know when they're available.

Looking forward to making some new friends here. Cheers everyone!

Welcome friend,
I was at the Calgary Expo too and got my 2012 annual and ultimate collection hardcover signed by Easman, which was the highlight of the con for me.
So what part of Canada do you hail from? I'm in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta (about 2hrs southwest of Calgary. You'll actually find a few of us manning the wall up here. It's just for show, but we've been here a long, long time..

I've always associated myself with Leo, so he's been my favourite since day one.

I live directly in Calgary (Originally from Ontario). Unfortunately I missed seeing Kevin last year, but as I mentioned, I was super pumped to meet the voice cast. Really hoping Kevin comes back next year, as I will have much more to choose from in terms of signings.

Someday, maybe. But there are just far too many of them for me to try and collect right now. Especially because of how many variants there are by IDW and various comic shops like Jetpack. I enjoy the artwork and nostalgic feeling I get from the original books.
