The Scarlet Spider

If we can't buy them I'll be pretty pissed. I've been wanting guillotine for a while... 

this may be the straw that breaks my minimate back.

I agree entirely . 

Is there one good reason why Walgreens don't sell Minimates online ?  

Because that'd be too easy on the consumer and cost them a little bit of money to organize. They'd rather keep the status quo than try to actually sell stuff. And here I've gone my whole life thinking that's what a store is supposed to do.

What about X-Men? TRU isn't a bookstore/comicshop.

For one Disney already owns Marvel and we still have been getting X-Men. We've got been getting a ton of X-Men mates lately. I was just saying for me keeping a huge retailer that we know gets us more minimates and one or two branches of the marvel tree I'm going with what gets us more minimates as a whole. 

I also included the comics thing because It kind of fit since I don't miss F4 in the current landscape of comics all that much due to the quality of the comics nowadays. As well as the fact that I'm not looking for any of those newer characters as mates. If we never get a wolverine-hulk or blonderine from the new weapon X or X-Men comics I'd be just fine (Even though I know we'd probably get those 2 mates that before we get a Harry Osbourne or another Blade mate ) I mean we still barely have any mates of X-23 it feels like. Maybe 3?

I know collecting is not meant to be 100% easy, but this kind of decision really takes the fun out of collecting for me.

Imo it should be easy. If you're trying to throw your money at a company why the hell would they be like "nah we don't want it, we'd rather have bad distribution". 

Minimates and Walgreens are starting to get this way and it honestly makes me want to quit. I'm trying to spend easily $1000 a year on DST shouldn't they want to get as much product to me as easily as possible to maximize my purchases?

They show up on the receipt as Marvel Movies Minimates, if that helps. If this ends up like the animated line, the Black Panther mates may be part of the same 'assortment.'

The two exclusive sets have barcode numbers of: 69978882412 and 69978882411

Which ones are the exclusives? Do you know the Valkyrie set #?

Anyone have the item number or something for Thor ragnarok? Or are all the minimates the same at Walgreens? Wasted an hour driving to 3 different stores for them to all have nada. Stuff like this makes me want to quit collecting. Buying something should not be this difficult. 

If anyone has these at cost or I'd even pay a couple dollars over cost for these mainly Valkyrie.

And restrict the appearance of any X-Men of Fantastic 4 merchandise, then forbid the appearance of characters from those franchises in any general Marvel products/games/books sold via TRU. 
Got it.

If it means I have to track down greatest hits F4 mates in exchange for getting at least 25-33% more minimates because TRU survives I'll gladly take that trade off. It's not like there's an abundance of new good books at marvel in general the only ones I pickup are ASM and Ben Reilly so I don't even feel like I'm missing out on F4 comics either. 

@TENIME_art damn that's a good qc

I'm only looking for hela, gladiator hulk and skurge/Grandmaster if anyone can help out. I know some people might end up with doubles of hulk and hela due to the box set

If you're not wanting Valkyrie I'll split a pack with you after I split one with buff. 

If anyone finds extras I'd much appreciate it, mainly looking for Valkyrie set to split with buff. My PayPal is ready.

Is Ghost the villain for Ant Man 2? I fear for how he'll look. For some reason the MCU doesn't think villains wear costumes. Only superheroes are silly enough to wear them......I'm looking at you Batroc. 

Ghost is going to be a woman in antman. 

I think a dark Avengers wave would be awesome. I need a ghost minimate and ares is rare enough to warrant a redo and dark gargan spidey could anchor the wave. 

Id gladly buy a comic ghost in that wave and then another movie ghost when antman 2 comes out

Galactus boots, which I believe have been used on others as well.

Thanks! They look great!

Top heavy Skurge just bugged me so I painted him some boots. Hela needed a sword and collar paint as well. Much happier with them after modifications. 

Also, with a little paint the DC Ares axe works very well for a comic Skurge.

 

The boots come with or where are they from? 

Eh I wish the banner was in the waves instead of the wiseau mate. Leaving a space open for Valkyrie to be in the box set too. I'd probably have bought multiples.

Honestly, give me that connected bat cave playset that's big enough to hold that thing and I'd be 100x more interested. The big robot is cool but playsets are more my thing. 

What mates would I want to see before this line ends? Every marvel character ever in all of their incarnations/designs starting now. So do all of them again  

(I don't want it to ever end!)

@TENIME_art if I ever have the spare cash to get some MAX like that I'll hit you up with one of those cops at cost+shipping if you're interested.

Luke has the 4-pack for the less than the cost of two 2-packs: http://www.lukestoystore.com/Elite-Heroes-Minimates-4-pack_p_2406.html

Snap I'll check it out the next time I have spare cash! Thanks man! 

Do any of you guys use imaginext stuff with your minimates? I saw a badass Luthor Robot Suit on Facebook and was wondering if there was any other cool stuff worth picking up. 

Same @TENIME_art. I'd try to get the boxsets but they're just so expensive I can't justify trying to army build them 

Man if these could just move their arms at the shoulder up or down in addition to the head I'd probably get em. They look great and I'm on the fence. 

Jeez the likenesses are great but really? No accessories for the skurge or Thor two pack? (besides mjolner which should be a given but I'm sure there was debate on even including that)

edit: Valkyrie has some good accessories tho

I'd have preferred a Valkyrie in her alternate costume to so many Loki figures.

That dress is like something from the fifth element, which while I enjoy that movie, I just can't see Valkyrie wearing something like that it looks silly.
