TMNT & Chill is back in the usual HQ spot with an “on to the next” mindset—freshly recovered from Comic Book Day and focused on getting orders moving again. In this episode, the host walks through shipping recovery, what’s being listed next, and a detailed comic inventory discussion centered on Jetpack/Journeys, including foil copies and exclusive-style listings.
TMNT & Chill returns to HQ (Comic Book Day recovery mode)
The host settles back into the regular TMNT & Chill setup in their HQ area, with Sasha the mascot showing up as part of the usual vibe. They explain that the trip and the Comic Book Day stretch left them feeling rough—mentioning losing their voice and needing time to recover.
Despite that, the goal is simple: run normal inventory again and keep the momentum going after a busy weekend. They also note they’re catching up on work that built up during the events and drive back.
A specific upcoming listing detail is mentioned: a 40th anniversary reproduction figure set aside for a friend (not for sale), while the host prepares to continue listing other TMNT-related items.
Shipping recovery update: orders back on track
A major portion of the catch-up is shipping. The host shares that weekend orders are on the way, describing a process of getting everything packed and ready as quickly as they could.
One shipment was sent a day late specifically to help ensure safe delivery, and they also describe the overall return drive being long (about 15 hours). After getting back, the host says they needed time to catch up before packing and listing inventory.
Once packages were taken to the post office, they describe feeling a weight lifted—indicating they could finally shift back into a more normal shipping pace.
Jetpack and Journeys comics: foil copies, covers, and deal talk
The livestream transitions into an inventory-focused comic chat, with particular attention on Jetpack and Journeys content. The host discusses how the foil copies and cover-related inventory are being handled and mentions that the foil arrives later than some other releases.
Key inventory points discussed include:
- The host confirms they have foil copies for every issue of Journeys.
- They reference early inventory coverage (starting around issue 5B) and then later gaps (skipping ahead to 9A).
- They also mention additional TMNT-related listings, including a Last Ronin exclusive for number four.
- Another item referenced is a Saturday Morning Adventures retailer incentive cover.
The host encourages viewers to check condition details in the auction tab, noting that this is where the turtle-related items are listed and where condition information should be found.
They also talk through bundling and pricing negotiations for sets—sharing example bundle pricing structure and encouraging viewers to use available coupons or request price adjustments when applicable.
Buy It Now orders, coupons, and Saturday show logistics
After the inventory discussion, the episode shifts to how orders are handled—especially Buy It Now purchases. The host indicates next steps for getting items out promptly, including shipping items out the next morning.
They also reference:
- How “Saturday show” logistics factor into what viewers can expect (bonuses tied to items that shipped for the Saturday show).
- Coordination around inventory checks and order details.
- Coupon handling for at least one specific item mentioned during the order-management discussion.
The episode makes it clear that Buy It Now isn’t just “queued”—it’s actively reviewed, shipped, and tied into channel support mechanics like show bonuses.
Event recap: signing requests, limited giveaways, and comic condition checks
Comic collecting is front-and-center in this episode’s recap segment. The host explains that Comic Book Day and surrounding events included signing requests and that it became challenging to manage multiple requests within a short window.
They also recap a limited giveaway moment, described as capped at 25 books, and mention lessons learned about handling repeat requests—specifically reflecting on the experience of getting one thing signed repeatedly.
Beyond event logistics, the episode includes a detailed look at comic condition checking. The host describes comparing copies under lighting to spot issues such as spine ticks and evaluating which version is the best option.
They also reference how they plan to handle and organize panel footage later, splitting it into categories (including IDW, Mirage, and Last Ronin segments).
Rewards-club reveal and what viewers can expect next
The host mentions an inventory reveal tied to a rewards club—specifically that gold-and-above members will get first access when new merchandise is listed. This is positioned as an upcoming transparency step after the Comic Book Day recovery period.
Next up: Splinter Cell Paint stream and the broader TMNT show schedule
The episode closes with what’s next on the channel. The host discusses planning a Twitch stream called “Splinter Cell Paint,” scheduled for next Monday, as part of a continuing TMNT-focused content run.
They also clarify the broader show schedule:
- Mondays for comics
- Tuesdays more for toys
- Saturdays a mix of both
The host frames this as how things will run going forward, especially after this shorter broadcast due to not feeling well.
Conclusion
This TMNT & Chill update is a practical catch-up: Comic Book Day recovery, a shipping recovery report, and a focused dive into Jetpack/Journeys comic inventory—especially foil copies—along with Buy It Now order handling and condition-check guidance. With “Splinter Cell Paint” on the horizon and the usual weekly schedule returning, viewers know exactly what to watch for next.
