2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

The final two  arrived yesterday ,Donatello and Raphael.Many of you who have followed my whiny,vintage needs,posts can finally breath a sigh of relief.You don't have to hear me bitching about how much I need a set of vintage ninja turtles anymore.And even If It wasn't annoying you,It was annoying the crap out of me.So much so that I took matters into my own hands,sold off a couple of figures and went to eBay to go on a  TMNT cyber hunt,even If It meant cutting the cost by buying them  without any weapons.I knew It wasn't going to be easy and that I was going to have to make sacrifices because complete ninja turtles on eBay nowadays are ridiculously expensive.I wanted mine to come with,at least, their web gear/belts.Leo came with his web gear and so did Mikey ,along with one nun chuck and a couple of extra weapons.Leo was about 13 bucks shipped and Michelangelo  $7.Donatello and Raphael came together ,$ 9.99 for the pair for the pair.Donatello came weaponless w/web gear and

Flashback to the mid 80's! After receiving some last minute birthday cash,I was In deep need of an action figure fix.Being a kid,finding a way to get to the store was half the battle.I would have to wait for my dad to get home (my mom didn't have her own car) or take the gamble and walk to the nearest  Convenient mini mart and hope  they had even a semblance of what I was In the market for.Good news -My brother happened to have the car that day!Bad news - He didn't feel like driving very far,so Convenient It was going to be :(
