Kevin Eastman on Storage Wars (A&E)

*The Fifth Turtle* · 04-13-2016, 09:23 PM

Title of the episode is "Middle-Aged Mutant Ninja Buyers." It was pretty good IMO.

Kevin Eastman: The man who can't find bottom.

*Powder* · 04-13-2016, 09:35 PM

Would've been good to know this at least half an hour ago...

Isn't Storage Wars on Netflix right now? I'm sure it would be updated "eventually".

There's something kind of funny about cans of Slurm being in the turtle van, but I'm not sure what?

Would have been better if they would have shown a little more of the gallery and his office.

I wonder what that's all about. My buddy at the comic book store made a joke about how filthy rich/baller Eastman and Laird were the other day, and after telling him how Peter kinda just rides his Segway and photographs Massachusetts wildlife, I didn't even know what to say about Eastman.

I'd like to believe he's not in any financial tight spot, but all these cheesy guest appearances and (I think) him selling off a large chunk of his turtle memorabilia, seems like an indicator of just that.

They don't make sense, either one of 'em.

Kevin's just, well, he has some Hasselhoff in him, maybe. I think missing out on the 60 mil payday cut deep. He's been soft shoeing for years.

Pete jusy wants to throw clay, like the money doesn't exist.

I didn't see this until after the fact. Regardless, in the age of technology that we currently live in, the episode can be found via websites, on demand, Netflix, Hulu, or a variety of other means. Just because it isn't viewed when it originally airs doesn't mean that it isn't worth informing the community of it.

They're two completely different people. Peter just seems to want a quiet life and Kev is out there promoting himself. Nothing wrong with either really.

Nope. They're both weird dudes. Anyone who loves pottery is a weird dude.

Now go ahead, defend the Millionaire potters, cause Millionaire potting needs some defending.

We don't really know how much Kevin got when he sold his half of the rights to Peter in 2000. Probably not... you know... 30 million, but probably still a fairly hefty payday. Another one when he sold Heavy Metal.

You seem to have issues.....a need to be outraged over nothing

Yeah, but he continues to go back to the well. He has made numerous risky/bad deals over the years, and his buyout in 2000 was at a low point for TMNT, so, I doubt he made much from Peter, (especially given the hostility).

I'm with 2The9's, something strange about his behavior.

(EDIT: Honestly, 6 revisions! Stupid ipad page refreshes... apologies.)

Jesus...this place sometimes.

Here:

I'm having a laugh kids...

People are funny is all; he spent 30 years amassing a fortune from TMNT, to turn around and spend his twilight years occupied by a hobby last popular in the movie Ghost.

It's like taking decades to build a bridge to an incredible island, only to then spend the rest of your life on the mainland

I had a few amazon credits for music/video so I bought the episode and it was awful. I don't watch any reality tv, so forgive me if this is old news but all the "characters" are sofa king annoying and stupid. So much forced humor and drama.

Anyways, after utilizing the 10 second skip function I muscled through it and some idiot with a grating accent found a still in box 88 Splinter and E&L's TMNT #'s 1-4.

He took them to Eastman's studio and it turns out #1 was a third printing, but the other 3 were left unidentified (you could tell #3 and #4 were first printing though). Eastman appraised them at about $750 (seemed low), then went on to sign them, increasing their value.

Well, it seems fitting to me that the Turtles were created by weird people.

I watched the ep as well.

Call me crazy, looked like the turtle merch was planted.
The account team repping Eastman is funny. They clearly have a very low opinion of his fans. Next he'll be on Ancient Aliens and Hoarders.

~~mrmaczaps~~ · 04-16-2016, 08:53 PM

Watched this today when it was on again... they really glossed over any real info on the comics. Barely showing anything about what the guy had. The price quote of $750 seemed high as well...

And did anyone else catch Kevin saying it was Peter's idea for the cartoon to change the bandana colors?

It was most def planted.

My friend, who created fighting robots for robot wars, was hit up.

They "found" some robotic stuff in a locker and brought it to him to "evaluate"

It was HIS stuff that was in the locker. They asked him for his stuff to put in a locker then brought him in as the expert. It happens ALOT.
