Is it me or would the Hulk figures be just a smidge better with hands similar to those on The Thing?

Tony Stark

It was discussed in the Minimate Display Pieces thread.

Reideen, please remember that this is a customs section and as this is a custom, how would it not qualify? Just because it's minimate-centric does not mean it's minimates exclusively. I've seen ML customs here. I hope you don't mind me refuting your point. Please don't ban me. Which is exactly why I didn't lock the thread down. When someone is spamming the board with multiple threads and spamming old threads with links to their site, a 'friendly reminder' is sometimes necessary.

You also know this is a minimate-centric message board, right?

I'm not saying you're wrong Karmazov - I just want people to understand the law as it is currently written does not include that interpretation. Sorry if I offended.

Unfortunately, that'll be up to Ebay to determine. Totally subjective and way too difficult to establish a definition for. (Also extremely difficult to police, but again, this is the government we're talking about.) Right now Jcastick, it doesn't appear to have any impact on trading. Only where money is exchanging hands for the items, which is why I would suggest including the 'contraband' as an extra bonus or 'FREE with purchase of X' if the law stands. On a side note, I'm pretty sure we've just seen the next excuse for Shocker Toys not bringing product to market for 2009.... That's only an opinion of counsel Karmazov. It isn't part of the law as it is currently written. From the TIA's FAQ's about the CPSIA This law applies not only to children's toys, but clothing, baby seats, strollers, etc. Millions of people will be affected by this legislation. Here's an excellent link detailing some of the efforts being made to eliminate/modify this law. National Bankruptcy Day Yes. That is the real name of the site.

Which is exactly why I don't expect it to go into effect. (Is there another 'e' word I could've used in that sentence?) If it does, it will be short lived - especially in today's economic climate.

I don't think they're out yet Groundhog. Symbiote Studios seems like good folks, I know a couple of people who do some work for them. When I get home tonight, I'll ask around a bit for you. Back to Muggs.... I haven't seen a single new Mugg in my area since I found Galactus, Silver Surfer and Torch. Now, I don't go out every week hunting, but everywhere I look, they've still got Cap, Ghost Rider and Hulk on the shelves. >

Just reading the law, as it is proposed, and some of the scuttlebutt on various sites, yes. Home crafters would no longer be able to sell home made items, garage sales, ebay, etc would all be things of the past - unless the seller is willing (or able) to pay to have the item certified. IIRC, that cost can run up to $4000 PER ITEM. This would kill home businesses across the nation. Not only that, but it would impact the Goodwill and Salvation Army centers' ability to resell used items - again, effectively ending many potential jobs for people who need them the most much of the time. (Not to mention taking away their abilty to buy 2nd hand goods and clothing.) I see this as a knee-jerk reaction to the lead in toys scare. Gov't representatives drafted legislation without considering the scope of what they proposed. Imagine that. I don't see it going forward as currently drafted. If it does go forward, the other option would be to 'give' the items away for a small donation or include the items with sale of something that is already a 'certified' product. I didn't see anything in the legislation that talks about this and it could be a way around the rules temporarily while an amendment is put together or the damn thing is repealed entirely. Trying to define what is a 'collectible' vs 'toy' and what is being sold to a 'collector' vs 'child' is going to be too difficult to accomplish by the deadline before the law goes into effect. Either it needs to be killed entirely or people need to look at alternative - creative - ways to sell their goods.

One word. GWAR.

Yes you are. And you're still a douchebag. (What?!? Somebody had to say it. And it's my birthday so nyah. No offense Chaz.)

I got mine yesterday from Skull Buster. He made me a custom Reideen 'mate! Notice the similarities - the SOC: The custom from Skull Buster can be seen on my new flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34086695@N05/ (only because I'm playing with my blackberry storm rather than taking the pics with a real camera) Thanks again SB!!

McDurg - your SS contacted me. They said your gift shipped out a couple of weeks ago. Their tracking slip indicates it was delivered. Would you mind following up with your post office and getting back with me?

I'd buy one like the one shown in the auction. Now that you've pointed these out, I'm afraid I'm going to start looking for one for myself. Damn you Dino.

I know I am. I've only picked up Cylons (for the most part) from the Battlestar line. Admittedly, I've bought them by the case but they're the only ones I've focused on.

I went through and saved all the little sisters, so I got the ending. Great game. I remember being completely overwhelmed the first time I took on a Big Daddy, but it was a great feeling of accomplishment when I finally put the big bastard down. I've been saving them all so far. I figured there would be different endings depending on which I chose to do.

I'm working my way thru Mortal Kombat vs DC - not bad. Pretty much what you'd expect if you've played a MK game ever. I also started Bioshock and put in about 8 hours today on it. I couldn't put it down. Fantastic game IMO.

Congrats Neo!

That would be me. Glad you like them. (That Pegasus Six was tough to track down!)

Now that you're back, something I've always wanted to know, what does the PL mean?

That is true - if anyone hasn't gotten something by now, please keep this in mind. Give it a few more days due to the weather along with the normal holiday mail delays.

Hope you have a great day Rad!

Probably sometime next week. Hopefully by then everyone will have received something and would have had a chance to guess at their sender. Unless you all want me to post it sooner.... Just lmk.
