Saturday TMNT & Chill is back with a collector-focused rundown of what to hunt right now—starting with today’s Turtle items in the auction tab. The hosts also share their preference for Club TMNT over classic, community deal updates from Jetpack, practical comic listing tips after moving, and a plot recap from The Last Ronin audio book.
Saturday TMNT popup: auction tab TMNT items and Club TMNT vs classic
The episode opens with the hosts directing viewers to the auction tab for the day’s “turtle stuff.” They keep the vibe moving with Saturday TMNT & Chill style browsing, then discuss how they approach collecting.
A key preference is clear: the host says they like Club TMNT, and they contrast that with classic options. If you’re deciding what format to prioritize, this part of the recap is essentially the “start here” guidance—check what’s available today in the auction tab, then decide whether to lean into Club TMNT or classic.
Upcoming schedule: TMNT 300 Tuesday, Monday TMNT & Chill, Thursday Jetack
The hosts also call out what to bookmark next, including a week that’s “busy but fun.” Their next lineup includes:
- Tuesday: the TMNT 300 show (they encourage viewers to bookmark it)
- Monday: regular TMNT & Chill
- Thursday: live from Jetack
- Saturday: another TMNT & Chill popup
They mention additional Tuesday show plans as well, including a blind bag thrifting ship show.
Saturday popup updates: new TMNT covers and Planet Racers trade finds at Jetpack
After the auction tab and format discussion, the episode shifts to what’s changing on the shelves.
New TMNT covers (coming soon)
The hosts note that upcoming TMNT covers won’t be the same as the previous ones. They’re expecting new covers instead, and they emphasize that these are not repeats of the last set.
Planet Racers trade at Jetpack (volumes 1 & 2 found)
A viewer shares a concrete community find: they picked up “a couple copies” of the Planet Racers trade from Jetpack. The important detail is availability by volume:
- Jetpack had volume one and volume two on the shelf.
- Volume three wasn’t available at that moment.
The plan is to check again during the Thursday Jetack show to see whether volume three appears.
If you’re hunting hard-to-find editions, this is one of the most actionable parts of the video: watch for re-stocks, and tie your search to the next scheduled Jetack live check-in.
Finding hard-to-get TMNT items: “little quests” and checking specific titles
The episode also covers how the hosts think about hunting—especially when items aren’t consistently in stock. They mention enjoying browsing and finding random items in stores, plus occasionally learning about more variants and inventory through connections tied to the studio.
They discuss planning checks around specific titles as part of building “little quests.” One example they bring up is “Paleo 8,” which they tie to the same publisher as “The Quests.” They also reference working toward an ongoing quiz experience for next week.
The practical takeaway: rather than only scanning broadly, the hosts aim to verify whether particular titles or issue runs are present—and to make a repeatable checklist for future store visits.
After moving: relisting fixes and how to inspect comics for mold
A substantial section becomes practical for collectors who also manage listings.
Settling back in and fixing inventory issues
The host explains that they haven’t played much because they’ve been busy, but they’ve now been settling after moving into a new apartment. They describe handling inventory problems and relisting books.
Their approach includes:
- fixing inventory issues
- relisting books that needed updating
- cleaning up older listings that hadn’t been listed in a while
Mold inspection guidance (including black spots)
The hosts also give specific guidance on inspecting comics—especially for mold concerns.
They frame it around finding an item that doesn’t have mold, and they highlight a warning sign: “black spots” and “black dots on edges.” Their advice is to be careful and avoid items showing those signs.
The key inspection focus described is:
- look for mold-related problems
- avoid comics with black spots/black dots on edges
- check the interior condition as part of deciding whether to keep or list an item
If you’re just getting back to listing after relocation, this segment is the checklist mindset: verify condition first, then relist.
Food + setup talk: buffet regret, tablet-on-rack idea, and The Last Ronin audio recap
Food note during TMNT & Chill
During the episode, there’s a brief “be careful” reminder tied to food choices. The host mentions ordering considerations and then describes regret after eating at a Chinese buffet, including how they ate multiple plates and then felt sick afterward.
The collector-relevant link is their earlier advice to avoid items with black spots—presented as a general “don’t ignore warning signs” theme during the segment.
Tablet setup idea: watch TMNT content on the comic rack
The hosts then shift to setup ideas. The host wants a “nice big tablet” mounted on top of the comic rack so they can watch TMNT-related content while working.
They also mention joking about being kept awake by music and briefly switching to other content discussion while preparing for show steps.
The Last Ronin audio book recap: infiltration, alarms, and stealth action
Finally, the episode includes a narrative recap of The Last Ronin audio book. The host describes it as a full story, noting edits intended to reduce B-plots and panel-related issues and to help avoid copyright-style concerns.
The recap highlights a major action sequence:
- The Ronin infiltrates a heavily secured tower.
- The entry involves using cables and a manhole cover.
- The intrusion triggers an alarm, and security ninjas begin chasing him.
As the action escalates, the host summarizes additional beats:
- The Ronin uses smoke pellets and rooftops to maneuver.
- He fights a guard robot, and the reveal is that the guard is a human mixed with robot parts.
- More guards arrive as he keeps moving through the interior spaces (including an embassy and an apartment building).
- Citywide orders come into play: “Oro Herodto” orders capture and execution after receiving reports of an intruder.
The recap also includes a later moment where the Ronin leaves a threatening message via camera feeds, attacks foot soldiers, and reaches two ninjas near his target.
Conclusion: what to do next if you’re hunting TMNT deals
If you’re following along with Saturday TMNT & Chill, the episode’s actionable plan is simple:
- Check today’s Turtle items in the auction tab.
- Decide whether you want to focus on Club TMNT or classic.
- Keep an eye on new TMNT covers coming up (they’re new, not the same as before).
- Track Jetpack finds—and re-check Thursday in case Planet Racers trade volume three shows up.
- When relisting after a move, inspect comics carefully for mold and avoid items with black spots/black dots on edges.
And if you want something more story-driven after the hunt, the video’s The Last Ronin audio book recap gives a clear walkthrough of the tower infiltration, stealth action, and the citywide capture order.
