Just had to loop back here as a Nall (from Lunar) plush and poster came up for sale recently and it ended at a whopping $1425. Craziest price I have seen on it so far (the poster is also in big demand too), but it has also been awhile since one was listed. If you guys do an updated collectibles episode you've got a new thing to talk about besides the Elephant card.

 

I'm sorry, what the?

If he ever gets over the fear feel free to hit me up if you need any info regarding the Japanese GBA set.

I need all the info on the Japanese set.

Just finished the last episode, lol I knew going in it was almost 4 hours long but your optimism of it being a short episode near the start was kind of hilarious.

I'm also surprised you didn't mention collectible video game vinyl, lots of different pressing between official and bootleg stuff.

Did you want it to be 6 hours long?  I don't actually think I knew about the  FF8 cards, probably because I don;t like it and ignore it. X-Men I got the Cable card not so long ago to complete my set and felt pretty good about that

Me listening to @DefaultGen on ep238 giving the hard truth that no one will appreciate the GBA library as much as us hardcore GBA fans:

We need that GBA episode ASAP so people can find out how underrated the system is.

Tyler knows we have to do one, but he is afraid

I'm just shocked that so many things that I thought were true staple collector's items are just not as rare as they should be.

Bucky O'Hare is a GLARING example of a game that does not deserve its high price. DuckTales 2 as well.

All of our lists are bad, got it

Did you even watch the video? Raph used his Sai to break Leo's fuckin' swords in half. But yea I guess it is a dumb weapon compared to.... a wooden stick? Silly. The only weapon that gives the Sai a run for it's money is Mikey's Nunchaku.

Also Raphael's character flaws (inability to control anger/aggression, or him always throwing rock as you put it) are what make him the most interesting ie: best character. I mean if like the Incredible Hulk but don't like Raphael idk what to tell you I guess.

I also find the Hulk boring if that helps. it's good we disagree, they clearly made the Turtles to appeal to different types of people. Nothing wrong with rooting for your favorite.

Purple and Orange are not usual favorite colors for a lot of boys.

I feel attacked, literally my two favorite colors

Side question, when are you doing a so you want to collect GBA? Can’t wait for that one. I don’t collect US stuff but it’s always interesting to hear what’s going on the US side of things vs Japanese for a set.

The GC one was great. It was interesting to hear that the expensive GC games for the US are some of the cheapest and easiest to find for the Japanese set. 

It's on the docket, but we don't have an official timeline. It probably isn't the next one though. GBA is tough because not only because it is a big set but because a lot still isn't known.

Raph is the best. True TMNT fans know. From a video game POV I'd understand why you might not think he's the best. But in the OG comics, the first movie, etc, he rules. Yes he has character flaws like his anger and attitude issues. But yet when it is time to, he always delivers. Plus, Raph busts the most schools of criminal scum with the vigilante Casey Jones. 

I love the turtles as an ensemble, and they compliment each other well. Leo is a great leader, Donnie is awesome in general, and Mikey is a goof but can fucking go in battle (he won some pretty big battles throughout the various iterations of tmnt), but Raph is still the best. 

Raph has the dumbest weapons, and Raph's personality is like throwing Rock every time in rock paper scissors

@Johnny @DefaultGen fuck Donatello. Raph IS the best turtle!

The world is a better place when we all dont agree

 Been listening since Episode 10 when I was 15 in the final days of middle school (actively a year later around late 2016), still listening now at 21 and starting my masters degree in a couple months

 

Holy Cow, somehow I missed this sentence. First, congrats on school and going after your Masters. Second...I have no idea how we appeal to anyone, let alone a 15 year-old, that is amazing.

Thank you for spending 25% of your life with us

I use to listen but the show got a bit to nit picky and …. Out of my league, for me….idk maybe I’m just being a hater. 

We aren't for everyone. I don't think that's being a hater.

For a podcast with just about 200 episodes and a run time of 2hrs each on avg, we have to get into the weeds. 
 

that said you know what what you like, and I appreciate that you gave us a chance.

Thanks for making such an entertaining podcast! Makes my day whenever there's a new one to listen to, no matter what mood I'm in it always cheers me up- especially Tyler's Michael Jackson impression a few episodes ago. That will never not be funny. Been listening since Episode 10 when I was 15 in the final days of middle school (actively a year later around late 2016), still listening now at 21 and starting my masters degree in a couple months (as a scale for time). Even after all these years I still eagerly await new episodes. I hope it picks up more traction in the coming year! 

 

Thank you for sharing your time with us

Well mended thanks (massive infection in my gallbladder, it decided to rupture), and yeah I don't really want a soundboard on my desk, I just wish sometime I had more tools to tease Tyler.

Please forgive my super timely reply

I’m just here to see what other old NA members will show up
