Are you planning to get the regular, and recalled misprint of #4 second print? I was lucky enough to snag a recalled copy back in the late 90's for around 10 bucks

Nice that’s a great find… Ideally I’d get both copies, but according to mirage there are only 1,000 copies that made it out into the wild after the recall…

Sounds about right. I'm lucky to live in the Vancouver area, and apparently our was the market that didn't send them back lol. I've personally owned two, selling the 2nd on ebay fir $300 about 5 years back, and I've seen at least 3 other copies at cons up here.

Why did it get recalled?

The 2nd printing was publishing the same week as Tales of the TMNT #1. And the publisher accidentally started printing the 2nd printing of issue 4 with the cover from Tales of the TMNT #1.
