Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #300 didn’t just mark an issue milestone—it sparked a community “rip or ship” blind bag stream focused on opening packs, hunting foil blanks, and swapping duplicates live.
This recap breaks down what happened during the stream, the key pricing details discussed for foil blanks and bundles, and the notable pulls and variant mentions collectors were excited about.
TMNT #300 “Rip or Ship” livestream: blind bags and foil blanks
The hosts celebrated the 300th issue by opening TMNT #300 blind bags and foil blanks in a live format. Viewers were encouraged to follow along with each reveal and participate through chat and trading.
A major theme of the stream was the “rip or ship” conversation—whether to open (rip) sealed items or keep them (ship). As the opening continued, collectors compared results and discussed which pulls were worth swapping or keeping sealed.
Foil blank pricing and bundle deals ($10 / $18)
Pricing came up repeatedly, especially for foil blanks and bundle options:
- Foil blanks were offered for $10.
- A bundle option combined a foil blank + a blind bag for $18.
In the stream, the hosts also described the appearance of the blank: a fully black blank with foil lettering. They discussed continuing to “run” the foil hunting inventory via these pricing options during the live session.
Notable TMNT #300 pulls and variant moments
While opening blind bags, the stream featured several named characters and variant-style pulls that collectors tracked closely.
Eastman layered and Freddy Williams swaps
The hosts and viewers mentioned Eastman layered items during the swap conversation, including a moment where one collector received Freddy Williams after a trade.
They also continued opening more packs afterward, checking results and moving through the stack while participants traded what they had for what they wanted.
Frank Miller variant (noted as 1-in-300)
One of the headline reveals discussed during the stream was a black-and-white Frank Miller variant. It was described as a “one in 300” figure.
The hosts reacted strongly to the reveal, and the discussion included whether further “Miller” color variants might appear later in the stack.
1-in-1000 exclusive / “hardest book to pull”
The stream also referenced a difficult-to-pull book/exclusive described as a one-in-1000 variant. This was brought up as an example of a chase that collectors were hoping to land during the blind bag openings.
How swapping worked on the stream
A large part of the livestream energy came from community swapping and trading duplicates while openings continued.
The hosts showed and exchanged items directly with viewers, and the group sometimes discussed what the swap should be next. The “rip or ship” crowd dynamic also showed up in the choices: some viewers wanted to open and hunt, while others were more focused on trading for specific pulls.
As the store closing time approached, trading intensified—everyone swapping with everyone—while the hosts attempted to keep track of exchanges in real time.
Store closing countdown, sealed vs. loose talk, and show wrap-up
Midway through the stream, the hosts mentioned that the store had only a little over 10 minutes remaining. They continued briefly as items were shown off, and they asked chat whether collectors were more interested in “rip” (opening) or sealed items.
The session wrapped with a final blind bag pull and thanks to viewers, along with announcements for what would happen next.
Community links and what to watch next
At the end of the stream, the hosts directed viewers to community resources for ongoing updates and future activity:
- lookingfortnt.com (mentioned as a place to check in)
- A Discord server for staying connected and participating in giveaways
They also noted that weekly giveaways would restart the following week, and they invited viewers to return Thursday for a live Jetpack comic show.
