After opening them up, I decided to dig all my old cards out and reorganize them, getting what I've got into some nice binders and holy shit do I have a lot of cards:
That's everything sorted by set (not pictured is a full storage tub of Holodeck Adventures commons and uncommons from a misguided ebay auction years ago). I do know I will never have a complete collection as prices have skyrocketed for some of the sets. While some remain cheap, others are up to $1,500 a box. Looking at it all, if I had to guess, I'd say out of the 4,100 cards made, I'm missing probably about 200 of them, but I'll know for sure once I start organizing the individual sets.

I'm only like 4 cards short of an entire retail set. I think it's just a foil from Blaze of Glory, then the UR from Motion Pictures, and one or two alternate border cards from the same set. The TMP cards are crazy expensive.
I'm also missing the All Good Things boutique set, bit I've kind of resigned myself to never having it.

Same. I just can't see myself paying that kind of money for what those cards are. The Enterprise Collection's at least more grounded in price by comparison.

Granted, it's just plain old Falcon, but still looks a thousand times better than Hasbro's figure; and it's worth the price, especially considering you have to get the entire wave in order to build the wings to complete the figure.

The S.H.Figuarts Falcon looks great, but the Hot Toys Captain America (Sam Wilson) easily steals the show. And I know, both are entirely different type of figures, but still.
I don't collect Hot Toys, but between this one and Venompool the temptation is slowly pulling me in.

Finally picked up the best Kevin Nash action figure! lol
Despite what seemed like a number of Walmarts supposedly getting crap tons of the NECA Super Shredder Shadow Master variant, I hadn't seen one show up in any Walmart around me the whole time. Until today! There was one left on the shelf, it's a fairly cheap figure at 30 bucks for its size, and it looks fantastic. I think this version is better than the other, because in the movie, Super Shredder looks way darker compared to a bright purple suit that I guess he actually had. Overall a real good figure, not the greatest poseability wise, but all of the painting and details look so good. the paint on of his eyes is a tad off unfortunately, didn't notice it till I got home, maybe why it was the last one left, but it doesn't bother me that much since you can't notice it unless it's right up to your face.
Just need to get a movie Leonardo and I'm good with these figures.

Nice! He's one of my favorites for sure. I got the Genghis and Rasputin cartoon frogs today, myself. Just need to eventually get the damned display case I want.
There's an Ultimate version of TMNT 2 Shredder coming at some point in the future, too.
