Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Found looking through my collection today. Clearly not high grade, but not bad coming from the collection of a teenager who didn't completely understand how to read books without hurting the condition back in the 80's. The 2 is a 2nd, and the Fugitoid I bought the cheaper copy at the flea market where I found these... I didn't start picking up the book new until #8, when my pull box kicked in. Pretty sure that, despite buying them from a reseller, I'm the first person who actually opened any of these other than the Fugitoid. In retrospect, I wish I had paid the $15 for the 3rd printing of #1 instead of the $4 for the 4th... but I was tight on cash in those days.

Icculus308win Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Racerboy (another TMNT aficionado on the Registry) contacted me through the Registry, sent a nice note. I tried replying, but got this below upon replying. Am I ignored/blocked by him?😂 Does he go by something else on the Boards?

Turtle Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It's been too long since the last post in this thread, so I figured I'd share a set of prints I picked up from Ben Bishop in 2018...either Baltimore or NYCC...I don't remember.

That was his name that is so awesome, I hadn't thought about that in years! Memories Wish I had got the TMNT Arcade through Arcade1up, I think that was one of the first bosses, many a night at CiCi's pizza as a kid pumpin' them quarters! cgcsketcherz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya but ... it's $349-399, a tad on the high side, sure it's 4 players, but so far the most I've had to play is 2.... Kind of hard to just the price on nostalgia alone and all, when that could be a comic slab or something... They had it on sale around Black Friday, but we'll see. Silly enough I bought the Final Fight cabinet, but now wonder if I have room for another talk about sabotage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly enough I bought the Final Fight cabinet, but now wonder if I have room for another talk about sabotage! I have it in my "lair" (My turtle room). It's pretty sweet. Hard to justify the $350/$400, but it's a ton of fun to play the original arcade versions on a cabinet. I still have all the original NES/SNES versions as well (even my original DOS copy, you know, the one that is literally impossible to beat without cheating).

I've said it before, the nes tmnt1 I've kept since a kid, I'll keep it forever The arcade! It's tough cause nostalgia is big! I said several times as a kid that I wanted the arcade game at home. Sadly 1 of those friends as a kid passed on, the other lost touch, but my brother and I enjoyed it! I'll end up with it just waiting till a sale or a better sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that's how I snagged the Final Fight Cabinet for $175, also came with 1944 Loop Master and Ghost 'n Goblins and something called "Strider?" but the TMNT just came out last fall, the lowest they've had it so far is $350..... I'm sure that pre-order may have been cheaper, ANYONE ANYTIME BE SURE TO UPDATE THIS THRILL IF YOU SEE IT FOR $300 OR UNDER.... After you snag one for yourself of course cgcsketcherz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memories Wish I had got the TMNT Arcade through Arcade1up, I think that was one of the first bosses, many a night at CiCi's pizza as a kid pumpin' them quarters! In the original arcade game, he's in human form as a boss in the sewer level where he flies around a tosses Mousers at you. In the NES version, he's at the end of the parking lot level in fly form. This one was WAY easier than the original arcade version, which has Bebop and Rocksteady AT THE SAME TIME! In Turtles in Time (also on the Arcade 1up machine), the fly version of Baxter Stockman is the boss of stage 1. You should DEFINTELY get the machine. It plays really well and even when it's not in use, it looks terrific. If you've got a TMNT room, this would be a great addition.

Of course, I have 4 frames lined up in my office and a Jennika print would not fit anyway....or it would push Donnie out, which is NOT happening. jaybuck43 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
