[@rolandkatsuragi]

You know you've hit it big as a brand when there's an exclusive catalogue with all the merchandise

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Oh yeaj ☺️☺️

[@Chill59190]

To be honest.... I never really paid attention to the whole Pizza Points thing because I was the kid that ripped the packages open just to get to the toys lol. The only clubs I joined was the Burger King kids club and Fox Kids club for the magazines 😂😂😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Me too just ripping everything breaking the boxes 😅

[@handznet]

I did not paid attention because in my country they were useless 🥲

[@TheJoePiper]

That metallic Leo/Don... that’s a Grail item for sure! 🙌

[@BooshmanLee]

They don't appear to be particularly uncommon.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Yeah they’re not too tough to find 🙌

[@TheJoePiper]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Nice 🙌 it’s awesome when there’s enough around to enjoy ⭐️

[@KootenaiKing]

I've seen the Leo, didn't know there was a Donnu.

[@Mr.Boglin]

I'm 41, and this is literally the *FIRST* im seeing of the Pure Black Super Shredder Variant figure! i want one now!! i always loved the playmates Super Shredder anyway, but that one looks even cooler! "i mean, of course. Black makes everything look cooler. especially NINJA's!"

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Couldn’t agree more buddy 😁

[@huntercatalcazar3728]

TMNT is magnectic to collect dude!!
Great video as always! 👍

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks 🤘🍕

[@maxamillion2140]

how amazing would it have been if pizza points just got you free pizza, like i would have been super psyched.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

They could have made a deal with domino’s or pizza hut 🤩🤘

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

I still have my 5th anniversary Leonardo collector’s addition

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 🤘

[@Silverpsycho78]

I always saved my pizza points, but never got anything with them. They’re all still in a bag I’ve saved over the years.

[@cliffjumper1984]

When I seen that tmnt calculator....you know what was playing in my head "you can count on us" 😅😅🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Haha 🤣

[@CartoonTriper]

the "tubular tabulator" would be fitting if will have Donatello in it

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Indeed 🤩

[@AlejandroRojas-mj5ml]

Awesome video ive always been curious what the pizza points could get you.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching 🤩

[@midwest82000]

I didn't know the Boyardee Shredder was available through the fan club too. Weirdly enough I won one in a raffle last week! I never thought I'd see that figure in person.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome win dude! 🤩

[@OmegaOrdained]

Love it ! PIZZA POINTS!😎👍

[@robd1329]

I got Muckman through the points! I actually got a few figures by taking all the points off the figures on shelves.lol

[@OmegaOrdained]

@@robd1329 I never used the points. I wanted too but I loved the card art. Same with the flag points from gi joe. I should have used them,since I don't have any of the packaging now lol😎👍

[@alexanderthegangreviews5141]

I remember the pizza point promotion. My dad would never let me or brother send in for stuff cause he said it was a waste of time.

[@theslickrips5904]

I always got the “it’s a scam” rant lol

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

🥲 shame but yeah you weren’t getting a lot of value for the points tough

[@xokayb7l2]

Had to share. My son is an adorable 4 year old and every garage sale some one gives him a toy. A few months back someone gives him turtle bowls. I know thet a tmnt but after research from 1990 that sell in the 25-30 range each. She gave him 5.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

That’s awesome 🤩 college fund!

[@GeothermalDuck]

4:36 third one down on the far right looks like a bong 🤣
Cowabunga dudes!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

🤣🤣🤣

[@theflyingninja1]

Anyone else in the UK who will always refer to them as Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles? 😅

[@BudBoyProductions]

Another awesome video dude! I miss my old Turtles Toys. One of my grails is the TMNT movie figures by Neca. I never saved up for the mail aways, but I had a lot of toys anyway.

[@drewfife6331]

I still have all 4 of the fan club headbands mint. I don’t wear them and they have never been washed. They look amazing

[@robd1329]

I got 2 Muckman figures

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome you have those bandana’s 🤩

[@TheMKluver]

Dam! I had all the tmnt fan club stuff. I remember them like it was yesterday.. I miss my childhood playing with my tmnt toys

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome you had all that 🤩

[@VoaThiagao]

I have such a nice memory of the line. I lived in Brazil and I was about 6yo, there was this store that sold imported stuff and there it was, Leonardo. I couldnt buy it but my brother and I together could. What a blast it was playing with him and his armadillo, pizza, etc. I couldnt speak English so I thought pizza points could be traded by real pizza, that would come by mail but my parents convinced me it would only work in the US. Until Today I thought of pizza by mail until your explanation of the pizza points, thanks but sorry they come by mail :P Have fun!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy 🤓

[@MastersOfGermany]

I remember here in Germany there was a "Masters of the Universe" Kids Fan Club. It calls the "Masters Abenteuer Club" which means "Masters Adventures Club" and you get an Member Card and a Large blue Organizer Book with lot of extras. It was Awesone

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

That’s awesome always wondered if motu had a fan club

[@artbytheanomaly6010]

Great memories and old school merch! Love the golden Leo too

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Golden leo 🔥

[@LambosOnly]

I had the metallic Leo and got it in the store at KB Toys. Still have it too.

[@robd1329]

Looks valuable now

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 🤘

[@frankh4277]

I wish I had half of the TMNT toys that I owned as a child. But as a teenager I had the dumbass thought of toys were for 6 to 10 year old kids and tossed everything into the garbage. After blowing them up with fireworks or melting them together with other action figures. Classic TMNT cartoons are by far the one cartoon I have never been tired of.

[@oxwah]

I had the opposite experience as a teen- hanging onto these toys longer than I was "supposed to". Then my mom donated most of them anyway.

[@ToonamiT0M]

I had completed forgotten I was part of the TMNT fan club. I remember having some of that merch.
Such a nostalgia trip.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome thanks for watching 🤘🤓

[@TXVGCollector82]

Great video Ed! You put a lot of work into these and the end video always delivers. I have a few of these items like the gold Leo, newsletters, Xmas catalog and membership card. Looks like there’s a lot more to find lol.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy oh those letters must be fun to look through now 🤩

[@prestonvogel1431]

I've still got the TMNT Christmas bulb. We hang it on the front of the tree every year to this very day.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 🤩

[@R-Lee-]

6:28 You could get the bandana in multiple colors, blue, orange, red or GREEN? No love for my favorite turtle Donatello, where's the purple?

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Purple as well

[@LaMostraVia]

When I was 4 or 5 my friend left his TechnoDrone outside so I snagged it. Kids mom called the police and they came to our house to get it lol my bad Cody

[@Theretrosaint]

Honestly, that was a brilliant video, thank you for these Ed.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching 🤩

[@ryanspengler4877]

I remember my grandmother cutting off and saving EVERY SINGLE proof of purchase/point tag from my collection, which consisted of the entire Real Ghostbusters, TMNT, GI Joe and Masters of the Universe toy lines, promising that they would be good for something eventually...and then never sending them in for anything at all, finally losing the three giant coffee cans she had spent years hoarding them in. I felt like a kid who had been lied to and swindled by an octogenarian, but I couldn't be too upset because she and my grandfather had spent years putting those collections together for me as they released, making phone calls, showing up to stores when they opened, having uncles in other states track down hard-to-find toys/vehicles/playsets/etc. I would be curious to know how many points each complete toy line would net you if you clipped them all. Would it be enough to buy one of every item offered? Knowing how many points I never got to cash in, as I had the UPC/PoP from every toy in those complete lines, would be an interesting bit of personal trivia. This was another great geek-out, Ed!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching buddy 🤓🙌

[@_The_Worst_]

I can't believe that I never did anything with my Pizza Points...🤦🏻 I could've had soooooo much awesome stuff...💯✔

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Yeah i wish i got serious about my pizza points back in the day as well 🥲

[@TummaDemoni]

My vintage stock is selling some of these and it just makes me say thank goodness it's called vintage stock for a reason they once sold the old mobile base

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

The golden age!

[@anthonyxavier6300]

Didn't know about that gold version Leonardo figure. They should of done it with the others as well.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

They did have a 5th anniversary target exclusive 4pack windowbox with all 4 turtles

[@mattmacdonald9629]

Love the show! Still have the mail away Christmas ornament I hang on the tree every year :)

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

That’s awesome 🙌

[@Liquidcadmus]

I wonder how much that golden leo goes for now,. it must be worth a fortune.
I remember getting a few special figures from GIJoe using their points. I had a couple of super soldiers which were point exclusives.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

He’s actually not such a big deal moneywise or demandwise 🤓

[@littlebilly5633]

Really, really enjoy these videos! Keep up the good work mate!!!👍👍

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks 🤓🍕

[@Acidonia150reborn]

The 2013 Muckman was advertised on card packs for a while in the 2013 series this explains why i never saw it in stores because that offer did not Exist in UK or Europe. Yet they was a few colour variants in 2 packs only sold in UK like the Black Body Pink armed 2013 Mutagen Man. Yet the last wave of 2013 figures was mostly recolours and I belive was never sold outside US.

[@xturtlenerdx4361]

Just found this channel. Couple of cool TMNT videos. Really dig them and sharing to the group I help run

[@JeffTheFutureJaros]

Never Pay Full Price for Late Pizza!!!!!

[@jessewilley531]

I was a Turtle Force member. And even they sent me stuff LONG after my membership lapsed. Like a new bandana every year for six years when I only paid once.

[@justinmohan7103]

I honestly never knew Pizza Points existed. I don't know why. I don't remember ever noticing it on the packaging when I was a kid. I don't remember anybody talking about it at school either. This was interesting and good. I can see Super7 doing the 5th anniversary Leonardo but I don't know if they would do him in chrome. The GITD Muckman is pretty cool. It would be cool to do a collection update. I would love to see how the Gameboy collection is coming along? Also, the NES collection :)

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Sup7 5th anniversary leo 🤩🤩🤩🤯yes!!

[@windsonma8209]

I Honestly don't think I have heard of Pizza Points Before nor of the TMNT Club, it's either it some how wasn't available in Canada or I just haven't paid much attention to it.

[@ericcook5745]

I've always wondered about these things I remember seeing them on my toys when I was a kid never knew nothing about them never really thought that's my parents about your body which I probably should have but I don't think they would have figured it out either but I wish I would have known about this this day and age with the knowledge I have now I would have totally took advantage of it but too little too late still it's kind of curious and cool to hear that they did this with a toy at one point they really should do stuff like this more often

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I was wondering about it so made a video on what I could find 🤓

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

I remember collecting them, however, I don’t believe I ever end up actually do anything with them

[@Toyeticmuseum]

That 5th Anniversary Leo was on shelves at discount type stores (anyone in Canada remember Saan stores?) where I lived for a long time ha I remember looking at it and thinking this is dumb I can’t even play with it so I bought a storage shell Donnie for like half price if I am not mistaken. I distinctly remember this because we had just moved to a new province, and the lady gave me too much change back and my mom made me go back and give it back haha

[@colt5189]

I had that gold Leonardo Playmates statute thing. I bought it because I had hoped you could remove his weapons as I wanted those weapons for my Leonardo figures. As those weapons are how they should have been on the original figure. Though it looked like they were either glued to his hand or molded to his hand and I didn't want to bother trying to cut the hand off the body and grinding down to the sword handle.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome!
