#TMNT is generational! The original run of action figures went so long that many of us "grew up" before it even ended!

My new book is an Unofficial Guide to the legacy of this original toy line

Pre-orders are open through August 17th! Secure yours now

My heart goes out to Jeremy and his family during this very hard time. But damn - what an incredible perspective out of such a travesty. Something that I think hits close to home for all of us collectors.

I have so much respect for Jeremy.

[Jeremy Padawer @JeremyCom]

Dear Friends,
I’ve collected stuff my entire life. All of that is gone. I am at peace with it. My family is safe. Pets are safe. I pray for my neighbors in the Pacific Palisades.

Because I’ve been rich, poor and everything in between in my life, I’m very pragmatic and realistic. We are insured. The loss is unimaginable, but the financial impact, assuming the insurance companies do their part, will be negligible.

Let me share my lifelong collecting dream with you. A dream that’s now lost. I thought I would be an old man surrounded by amazing things at a named auction celebrating all the rare, cool, one of a kind things I collected during my entire lifetime. Some items incredibly valuable, others less valuable, but all in celebration of the things that made up my interests, passions and career. A celebration of a life spent making and collecting things, curating things and shaping culture. I’m going to mourn that auction. It won’t ever happen.

I don’t need it to happen either. I’ve been incredibly blessed with other dreams that more than make up for the loss of this one. That collecting dream… I’ve set on a ship to sail into the deepest, bluest sea... Also, that dream was trivial and it’s ok to have some trivial dreams.

I’ve had other dreams come true that are far more substantive that includes wife, kids, family, friends, pets, experiences, colleagues and business in a category that I absolutely adore - toys and collectibles. ❤️

Now to the part I realize after about 18 hours of thinking through this… is NOT trivial.

Our community. Our kid’s school. Our neighbors. Our neighborhood. Our grocery store. Our library. Our playgrounds. Our places of worship or spirituality. Our friend’s homes and things - things out of my power to insure or protect as it’s out of my control. The feelings of others. The lost dreams of others. The young people doing everything right who lost everything and can’t see their dream right now; The old people whose dream was realized and lost. This really breaks me up… an entire community temporarily gone. And, I pray that loss of life is minimal.

I pray for the safety and security of those who lost important things, trivial things, dreams achieved and future dreams big and small.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not lost on me that I have had the freedom to dream and that not everyone shares that freedom.

Anyway, I now know what I’d take from my house if I had 15 minutes…. Nothing. As it turns out.

I thought we’d be back today.

So, back to the bigger points…

1) Dream your dream.
2) Get insurance.
3) Don’t wait for old age to celebrate something really cool.
4) Dream more than one dream.

And…

5) People matter way more than stuff.

I appreciate everyone who has reached out.

And yes that collectible is gone too. The one you thought was cool. It’s ok. 💔
