Sometimes Twitter gives good ideas with ninjas

May 1, 2009 Kyle Buis

I put a post on my Twitter feed looking for requests and by golly I’m going to hold to it. From our own A-D Interactive Department, Robert LaHue was looking for something about Ninjas and here it is.

The 25th anniversary edition of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is coming to a store near you in August.

Yes, you can own the magic of the original three movies along with the 2007 TMNT for the low, low price of $39.92 (a very Wal-Mart sounding price), or if you want the full, magical, overpriced fury of Blu-Ray, there’s the more-than-twice-as-expensive edition just for you.

If I’m going to pay $85 for four movies, I better have the right to order it without Vanilla Ice.
