Shiny colors get my attention, but the black is classic!

For me it's the STO , the blue wave dial just does it for me . But nothing wrong with any of the turtles, & on the look out for a vintage 6309 7040

Is the Ninja still available?

Have a feeling it’s sold out.

Yes, the Ninja Turtle is sold out, but it can be acquired on various websites as new or used.

I did not know that there was a green turtle until I looked it up after reading Frogman’s post.

Apparently, it is a limited edition. They probably were “snapped” up fast!

I guess it makes sense that there is a green turtle and that Frogman would like green.

Haha! cheers.

Yeah they have skyrocketed in price now, going from anywhere from $700-1.5k,

I was lucky enough to find one used but cost me twice the amount of a standard.

Usually dont go for limited editions because they are a rip off but had to have the green one.

If you look hard you can still find them for around $700 used.
