Hello boys and girls, I’m new on this forum and therefore the introduction.
I’m 31 years old, from Antwerp (Belgium) and I’ve been collecting action figures again for 11 years.
I got introduced to this site by a friend (madbubbler) and it’s been a year now since I started collecting TC.
Always wanted tc toys but never had and in a vintage toycollection TC can’t be left out. What an awesome line of toys
Also a fan of the new series and toys, but I hate how they’ve handled their business. The US boycot, the quality of the toys and the sudden death of the cartoon. What a mess they made in it doesn’t help the popularity.
My godchild watched the new ones on youtube and we had to wait more than a year to have the cartoon aired over here and toys hit toyshelves only a month ago. She tells here fellow classmates to watch it in hoping to get it popular.
The show has the potential to have a big revival and gain popularity but CN and bandai US screwed a lot up.
If I compare this with the new tmnt, nickelodeon and playmates handlle their franchise much bether. They release worldwide, cartoons are translated and aired 2 months after the US release and toys hit toyshelves also 2 months lather.
But I’m drifting off of the introduction topic. I have a lot to tell and a lot to learn about TC so chat yall lather

If you want to pay the highest taxes in the world you should come live here.
We’re lucky we got the best chocolate and beers in the world to even it out
Yeah, that’s Dutch. But Belgians speak French too right? Learnt it for 5 years. I’d still love to visit Holland as well. But, hey, screw taxes, I’d LOVE to eat chocolate, moules et frites and waffles for the rest of my life! No beer, please, I don’t drink.
And the invention of saxophones is attributed to La Belgique too eh? I’m a language-lover and one of my biggest ambitions is to learn as many languages while I can. Oh yeah, I’ve heard of this Flemish carnival where dancers wear headgear mad with ostrich feathers? And Antwerp is the diamond-making part of Belgium? Read all that in a book.
If you like languages you should live here, we speak four, plus our flemmish has a lot of dialects. Belgium lies between France, Holland, Germany and UK and was founded in 1830 as a buffer state between those countries.
Politics are a disaster here and we have the worldrecord of 500+ days without a governement.
Yes, Antwerp is the diamond city and our harbour is the biggest in Europe.
I could talk for hours about this so if you want to know something shoot!
In Sri-Lanka (Where I come from and was raised, though born in Italy and living in NZ), the politics are horrible too! And Antwerp is also the harbour where Tintin boarded the ship to the Congo!
