TOY HUNTER Returns April 10th. SEASON TWO STARTS WITH A BANG!

[B-Lister]

It would be remarkable if two turned up in short order, but I have my doubts. Maybe Jordan or Mark will turn up to shed some light on it.

[Iron Mego]

It didn't look like the the same one- from the quick glimpse on the show it looked like the one Huckabone got had a little hole in the paper in front. The one that just came up for auction did not- there's pictures of it on the front page still. Maybe I'm wrong about the hole, but who knows!

The one on the front page has a hole in it.

[mvanis]

Hmm yeah you are right, it looked much bigger on the show, but could have just been the angle or something. Definitely overlooked the clasp coming through the one n the front page though

Loved the Magnum set, have had a couple of those, very tough piece! Should have bought up all those Turtles I passed on in the early nineties

I remember staring at that Magnum set at Howard's back in the early 80s. I kind of wanted it, but with only one figure and a car, what was I going to do with it? If they had done a whole line, I'd probably have bitten on it. As it stands, it's a wonder my Mom didn't buy it. She loved her some Magnum!

The Turtles...yeah, me too. I was telling my wife "I collected the wrong lines back then". I got tubs, and TUBS of 90s Batman stuff that's barely worth original retail. Not that I collect for profit/investment, but I could be selling those Turtles to score some even nicer vintage stuff. Sigh.

What is beginning to fascinate me is the failed lines from the 80's that seem to have a following. Specifically the Over the Top action figure line. Both the movie and it's toys were an epic fail. Plus it didn't help that the toys were pretty cheaply made back then. But the movie has found a seeming wave of good will from people. My own boss, who is a big movie geek, does not care for Stallone one bit. But he DOES likes this movie....odd. So perhaps the toy line is benefiting from this new found love. Fascinating how attitudes can fluctuate so wildly from one generation to the next. I'm now beginning to reevaluate what I considered to be throw away stuff in my collection. I don't have tons of 80's stuff since I was a 70's kid. But I have enough of some things, it may be worth giving it look. Good show!

So true. But instead of Batman stuff,I've got Star Trek.

Not all Turtles are created equal, the $300 figure was a very rare and under produced toy. Most of the line can be had on the cheap.

[toys2cool]

Dam he was in Miami? Post next time you'll be here, i'll sell you some cool stuff man

[TMANSTOYS]

Don't watch the show. I really don't care.

[toyman]

Tman I'm sorry but that's very rude. If your not interested don't comment at all and move on.

[TMANSTOYS]

I have said before why I don't like this show. Brings to much of the spotlight on all the toys. Which drives prices up for everyday collectors. I already here "i saw it on ebay for ........" way to much.

[toyman]

It may do it but I think that is also helping get the larger companies noticing this size of figures and is helping get more of them made.

[toys2cool]

Yea it's cool not to like the show..But to just click on the thread to say so is rude bro...Just move on and don't bother checking it out

[cjefferys]

Heh, it's funny seeing Mark becoming Jordan's arch-nemesis. Fun episode!

[TMANSTOYS]

I'll try better next time to be nice. Sorry guys. I put this show in the same catagory as pickers, storage wars. Staged !!! Was that mean to say ??
