Two questions..... 1) Can the Lego Batcave still be found retail for around this price? I know we have some Marshalls stores around here, but I don't think I've ever been in one. Guess I'll have to check it out. 2) How do the other LEGO Batman sets compare to the C3 Minimates figs as far as scale goes? Will a Minimates Batman figure fit into the various Lego vehicles or are they too big for the vehicles? --Rick Well damn, I spent all that time getting into these and they cancel the goddamn line. What a fing waste. I really love these little guys too.

Sweet news! I was never a fan of the classic WHO, but I'm loving the new series (as well as Torchwood). --Rick

I don't think any other models were made for the other bridges.....?? Guess we'll have to make 'em from scratch.

Just got through drooling over the new Star Trek pics, now the thought of Star Wars and Indiana Jones.... WOW!!

Ok... must go wipe the drool off my mouth now!! :biggrin: Wow, I hope this line continues for a very long time! --Rick

Wow... I really hope we see some SW 'mates!! I used to collect the Kenner/Hasbro SW figures and had EVERY figure, ship, and playset made right up until the Phantom Menace. The new trilogy killed my desire to collect them. I would definitely collect Original Trilogy minimates though!!

That sounded like a pretty cool and fair idea, so here's a picture of what you described. Very nice!!

I just snagged that one! Bought 2 model kits to do a complete bridge set (all the way around). Bought the first one on a modeler's website for $10 (plus $8 shipping). They only had 1 kit available. Then bought the second one on Ebay (mentioned above). Now I need to order a light kit as I plan on doing custom lights on the panel displays. Man, I'm looking forward to this project!! Thanks for giving us the great pics and the idea to do this!!! --Rick After picking up the 2 Bridge models, I found (and bought) these BACKLIT PANELS for the bridge. Now I just have to find a good light kit. Here's some pics from the auction:

Wow... This is perfect for the minimates. I just bought one online after seeing these pics. Will post some pics of my own once I get to build it! Thanks! --Rick

Will these be available through all retailers or are they some kind of exclusive? I typically order most of my sets from BigBadToystore. Should they be available at that site or do I need to look elsewhere to order? Thanks Rick

I want a SHI minimate!

Wow.. I'm really surprised by that. I'm very familiar with Lonestar (through their website). I've purchased a lot of back issues from them at really good prices. I don't know anything about their local shops, but their online shop is pretty good. Also, I believe one of my favorite artists frequents their shops. Any of you familiar with Josh Howard? He created Dead@17. I'm a really big fan of his work. I know he lives somewhere in TX, so I guess that's why he does signings at those stores.

I'm all for supporting local comic shops, but unfortunately in my area there's one comic store that bought out almost every other comic store in the area and closed those other shops. They are now pretty much a monopoly in my area and are major jerks. They have a nice store, offer 10% discounts to subscribers, and have a nice selection of toys and comics. The problem I have with them is this: The guys that run the place hit EVERY ToysRUs, Walmart, and Target and buy out every rare toy, chase figure, etc, and then sell them in their store for majorly jacked-up prices! That pisses me off to no end! I refuse to do business with that store. I now order my comics through scifigenre.com online. I get a 30% disount on all comics, plus they are bagged and boarded for free. I get them shipped once a month and shipping is very reasonable. I'll never deal with the local comic shop again. As for toys, I eventually find most of what I'm looking for on store shelves, or I order from reputable sites online. Rick

Welcome aboard!! I'm a newbie myself (just joined this weekend). I've been really impressed with the site and the members on here. Hope you enjoy it! Rick
