Hahaha, awesome. My brother and I use to have a bunch, and I recover them from the basement from time to time. As soon as I saw your pictures of them, I immediately recognized the packaging and remember seeing it in stores. Took me back.

I thought about getting some sealed action figures when I noticed they were fairly cheap, but, eh.

I bought some of those back in the summer,
apparently theyve been around since the beginning of the year, i bought Bebop, Rocksteady, and Splinter, they were beomg sold at $2-$5 a peice, but I missed Donatello
I also bought what looks like an april from the 80's or 90's (non-25 anniversary) April from a flea market not too long ago too, in fact still in its box

He actually had the technodrome with all he turtle bones and skulls along the base. He regretted selling once we started talking about it, but there's still a chance of completing your collection for pretty cheap.
Thanks but I was going for getting them in the boxes. . . unless that's what you meant.

Yeah I just realized they've been around for a while. I went to two targets today because I heard they were one of the stores selling them, but they didn't have a single ninja turtles toy, much less these classic ones. I'll have to go up to toys r us. Where did you get them for $2-$5 a piece?

Ah, collecting action figures. It's been a while since I did that, and the line I had been buying was bought out by a second company and went to crap, so I pretty much gave it up. I was buying the Marvel Legends figure, and there's really only one more I need to pick up. It's too bad he generally goes for $60 or higher...oh well.
