  1. My LCS has had almost every single exclusive in their store at one time or another.
  2. wow, still nothing? My store opens at 11:30 (Pacific Time). I'm giddy.
  3. Honestly, the ONLY Ultimate mates I would want are: Ultimate Cap & Ultimate WW2 Cap and Ultimate Iron Man & Ultimate Thor That's IT.
  4. Considering that the big event for the ultimate universe is coming up, "Ultimatum," there may be some coming out, not that I want any taking away from my regular mates... then again, Ultimatum has been described as "the beginning of the end," so... the Ultimate universe may not be around anymore soon.
  5. Hmm, I guess this affects me more since I consider myself a super hero Minimates fan (Marvel and DC only), not a minimate fan in general. I don't pick up the 24, rocky, or bttf stuff.
  6. Hmm that may be part of it for me too. Before, not only was I waiting on new stuff to come out, but I had a bunch of old stuff to track down. As it stands, I only need like to 4 or 5 more mates to complete my ENTIRE marvel collection... so I'm left in waiting mode. Also I think part of the problem is AA not encouraging or fostering a community. I mean, seriously, so the last three months or so I've been checking the AA website a couple times a week and all I see is that cyclon mini bust on the front page. Something new! Something exciting!
  7. The difference with DC is that at least they are consistantly coming out. The rate at which we get announcements, physical releases, and previews is a really quick cycle. With Marvel it's like "Here's everything!" then nothing for six months...
  8. I was thinking about it, and do you guys think we're in a slump when it comes to Marvel Mates? I mean, sure, we just got a really cool defenders set, have the SM3 sets coming out and the following two "Fan favorite" waves. But even with all that... aren't we just kind of in a wait and see mode? There's nothing new happening, nothing exciting... any mates for the next five months have already been announced, and I honestly can't remember the last time the Art Asylum was updated with ANYTHING, let alone new Marvel stuff. I find myself not excited by Minimates on a day to day basis, but rather opening up jpgs of the upcoming waves to look at the pics of stuff that won't be out for months. I dunno, maybe I'm not making sense... but the lack of any new substantial threads in this specific forum kind of back up what I'm saying. There's nothing interesting to talk about really because there aren't any immediate surprises left.
  9. Um. Can't you just put prof x's head on the chameleon body and have blue suit prof x? Just saying.
  10. I don't think this will sell poorly, I think there are enough things to attract people to it. The very cool sandman minimate is one, as well as a pretty cool venom, a new black spider man, and a detailed movie version of spider-man. Not to mention Goblin II. The two girls are very 'eh' as are 'civilian' petter and eddie, but oh well. This COULD have been one series, but we know their milking it. I just want this to come out so we can move on to my Archangel and Smart Hulk waves already!
  11. They don't look all that different to me...
  12. Can we get pics of the Cap/Iron Man/Hulk minimates that were packaged with the DVDs for comparison?
  13. Hmm, maybe it would be good to package them WITH a prominent character of that army? Such as... Captain Marvel, Kree General, and 3 Kree soldiers and Super Skrull, Skrull General, and 3 Skrull soldiers
  14. Hmm. I guess the idea popped into my head when I finally got my Nick Fury minimate, and I started switching out his head with other random characters, making "random" shield agents... I'd also love Skrull and Kree armies. I actually think that may have more of a possibility of happening considering the up coming events.
  15. AA's doing a pretty good job of releasing fan favorite characters now as Mates, but what about the generic 'army members' of the Marvel universe? AIM, Hydra, Shield Agents, etc... would you guys like this? Also, how would you like these distributed? Would they just be one of the figures in a two-pack, or should there be a whole seperate box set, say for $20, that comes with five or six figures that have pretty much the same bodies but with different heads, different gender indicators, different ranks, etc... I think this could be a cool idea.
  16. I'm such a scatter brain. I must have ordered this thing twice from two different places... I just got a second defender's box in the mail
  17. The Salaak one has me achin' to do a Goro or Kintaro custom. Already have a Sonya Blade...
  18. Is there a way to know exactly which color Namor's skin is? That costume is 99% perfect, but I'd really like to paint the black part of the wing accessories skin tone.
  19. I figured a cool exclusive like him wouldn't want to be confined to the almighty tub of minimates...
  20. As cliche as it sounds, I'd like an "Astral Form" Dr. Strange in one of the main waves.
  21. In the end I decided NOT to get a second Aquaman... and just stole his trident and gave it to Namor I never liked Aquaman much anyway... Still, I really wish Dr. Strange came with a Wand of Watoomb accessory or sculpted 'cantation' hands.
  22. I really hope so. While Silver Centurian and Classic Silver Iron Man are pretty cool, the standard 'regular' Iron Man is very basic... we need an Adi Granov-esque minimate
