Ebay Alert: Hydro Skimmer and Blitz Cycle Loose/Complete

First off, in the interest of fairness, I should disclose that this is my auction.

Up on ebay at this very moment is an auction for BOTH the Next Mutation Blitz Cycle and Hydro Skimmer Figure/Vehicle sets. Both of these pieces are in PERFECT loose/complete condition, and will probably be the last time you see them on ebay for quite awhile.

If you are reading this blog, chances are that I don’t need to tell you that these are bar-none the two rarest vintage TMNT figures/vehicles out there.

Click the pic to go right to the auction. Good luck!

Further Proof That Stan Sakai Is One of the Coolest Guys On the Planet!

Hey gang,

You may remember several months ago, when I picked this up from my local comic shop.

100_2446

It is a limited edition cold cast Usagi statue put out by Dark Horse. When I bought the statue from my LCS they said, “You know, Stan Sakai comes by this shop sometimes. Infact, he was in here yesterday!”

I thought that was pretty cool, and hoped that I might run into him some day. Running into comic folk outside of conventions is always way cooler.

So a few weeks go by, and it is Free Comic Book Day 09. After visiting with Kevin at Golden Apple, i drove down to my LCS to drop off some signed copies of the FCBD Turtles book that I wanted to suprise the folks that work there with.

Wouldn’t you know, the first thing they said to me was, “You JUST missed Stan!” I was pretty disappointed 🙁

As you know, we at GGM follow Stan’s Live Journal blog pretty regularly, so after checking to see if it was ok with my LCS, I decided to ask Stan via his live journal if I could leave my statue there for him to sign:

I’ve been meaning to ask you Stan…It turns out that you and I frequent the same LCS (I will refrain from the name incase you have crazy stalkers or something, but it is the one next to Zankou 😉 )

Anyway, every time I go in there they tell me “oh man, you just missed Stan!”

I’ve wanted to get you to sign the Usagi and Spot Statue I bought there, so i was wondering if i left it there for you, would you mind signing it next time you go in?

Thanks!

Stephan!

To which he replied on the very same night:

No problem about signing anything. Just leave it with the folks at the store, and let me know it’s there. You can tell me by posting it here in my Live Journal. I don’t get to that store often, but I’ll make it a point to go.

Well dang! What a cool dude! So I ran down to my LCS and dropped the statue off. Flash forward about a week to today when I decided to go in for the newest edition of Tales. When I walk in, the two behind the counter look at me funny and say, “Do you have Stan-Dar? He was here earlier today, and he signed your statue.”

Check it out!

So, needless to say, Stan Sakai is the coolest guy ever. He went out of his way just to sign something for a fan he has never met. Stan, if you’re reading this, thank you SO MUCH! You’re awesome!

I'm Sorry and Thank You!

Hey gang,
Work has been kicking my ass the last couple week, so I wanted to A) apologize for being so sparse in my posts, and B) Thank the other GGM writers for carrying the ball in my absence. As some of you know, I work in the game industry, and next week’s convention — e3 — has been keeping me on my toes. So rest assured, I will be back to my normal loud and obnoxious self once all this industry madness passes. Thanks for understanding!

P.S. This is the best “Sad Turtle” picture I could find.

Hello, my name is Jester and I'm a Turtleholic.

Well, there’s really not much else to say. I love the Turtles. Maybe not as much as our tattooed host, but they’ve been a part of my life since as long as I can remember. My collection is small, mainly because I sold it when I was 12 or so before a family move to Italia-land. Worst. Day. Ever.

My “collection” as it were mainly amounts to the 2k3 toys, a few 90’s figs here and there and some obscure stuff like the unopened production box of TMNT cereal and the Anti-Turtle expose’ “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Exposed” which is good for a laugh. Did you know that April O’Neil is oversexualized and lead boys to have negative views of women in their adult lives…
