(Kickstarter) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness by Palladium Books

 Sometimes you stare into the fire, other times you fall into it.  Let's start one of those experiments, shall we?

In a month where all the cool properties seemed to be getting crowdfunding, Palladium Books takes the cake with a remastered, full-color edition of their 1985 classic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness, with the full licensure from Nickelodeon and the blessings of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. 



The old man in me that yelling at clouds winces at the $50 price tag.   But if the dear reader remembers that TMNT was a $9.95 for a thin, black & white book, and this is a remastered, full color, 256-page edition, with added material, taking inflation into consideration, it's not too bad.  

I believe I'll take the nearly year-long journey to fulfillment with the main book, as well as the remastered Transdimensional Adventures, for $100 total (S&H not included).  From years of experience (and a healthy memory of their Robotech debacle, which I did NOT participate it,  pledging for the core books will make you happier in the end, than all the exotic special art covers, the dice, or the other accessories.
