TRU Bullseye's maybe?

So, you think we're doing a Death of Jean DeWolff wave...without a Jean DeWolff figure?

I picked the wrong time to stop collecting Minimates.

Danny and his site are the whole reason I got into Minimates. I was poking around on eBay looking for Spider-Man Legos, when I found these weird Minimate things. I got to wondering if there were any other ones and starting browsing the web. Minimates Central was at the top of the list, and I got to looking around and... ...my wallet has never forgiven me. I shudder to think what the offer for MMHQ will be, assuming JP didn't gamble it away in a drunken bet again.

I'd be surprised if it didn't manage to tie in with Spider-Island in some way. Lots of Spider-Men running around and lots of enemies updated with Spider-Man powers. Chuck must be in heaven. And since it all loosely ties in with stuff like the Clone Saga, we could even shoehorn Kaine, Scarlet Spider, and others in some sort of accompanying sets.

I'm sure Kang will get his due. And then I'm sure they will proceed to beat us to death with him, leading to the question of why we're getting yet another Kang when they could do (insert name here).

I'm just glad he left out the after-chat chat, where we learned some disturbing things about some of the board members here.

Welcome to our humble home. You'll never find a nicer bunch of... GET OUT, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!

They all look so terrible.

There's an Avengers movie coming up, so I'm sure that the Cap, Thor, and Iron Man entries would get used to a lesser extent as well.

It might just be to keep something that appeals to kids on the shelf. Kids love firemen and policemen, so if you always keep them in the assortment, then they fly off the shelves. Works for Spider-Man too. :biggrin:

I have LA Noire and MK. Haven't had much of a chance to play LAN, but I've enjoyed playing around in MK. My cousin has LAN and he seems to have enjoyed it thus far. I'm probably not the best person to offer gaming advice, am I?

I'm juggling about eleventy billion games right now. Too many that I've barely started or just haven't finished, so I'm trying to whittle that list down some. Doesn't help with all the Steam sales, where some game that you might see yourself playing one day is suddenly available for a limited time at $5. The list of games I have on Steam that I haven't even installed is staggering. Oh, and I'm playing Duke Nukem Forever. While it isn't great, I'm still having some fun.

I've been enjoying the new Mortal Kombat. I'm terrible at MvC, but I can hold my own in MK.

I feel conflicted. I wanted to buy mine back, but got outbid at the last minute. On the one hand, I didn't get my custom back, but on the other, it raised more money for charity. Oh well, its for a good cause, so I can suffer the loss. :biggrin:

This should be interesting.

I think it works the way it is. Like you said, even if its cumbersome, its only for one round. As for having the ladies fight, not everyone can fight their rival in the first round. We'll just have to make sure they meet up in the finals. :biggrin: So, in the end, no worries. You're doing a great job. Appreciate you putting in all this work to put it together.

I would vote, but its not letting me. Also, some of the character profile links are not working correctly. Sarah Jayne, Dr Irwin B Miceon, and Sasu the Assassin are directed towards the wrong character profile, and Reptile is going to the bracket site that you're running this through.

Now it feels like a fighting game! Don't suppose there's enough time for some one to whip up a pallet swap character? :biggrin:

I had to go back and read the bios for all the fighters before I could make my choices. I wish we could have had more shared backstories, as we have a lot of great stories and it seems like some of the character stories could have been resolved in the tournament.

order it from AFX? No, no, the worst way. I'm not sure what that is, but it probably involves ponies. Or some sort of trebuchet riding poodle.

I've mostly been failing at Terraria lately. I have been making some progress though. I finally beat the Eye of Cthulhu, who for some reason took to attacking me nightly. Burned through all my shurikens and a good chunk of my health potions, but he is dead (for now).

I don't really see why they would have any say in the matter. I guess they are distributing it. Dunno. They do tend to end up with the excess of exclusives, so maybe they figure if you aren't selling enough of their product, they'd be more likely to be stuck with a few thousand sets that need to be moved. But yeah, if you have the money to buy the product outright, I don't see what the issue is. They aren't stuck with anything, so why should they care if you end up using the box sets as building material for an addition on your house.

Are we talking Diamond or Diamond Select?

I imagine you'd have to get together a few thousand dollars to cover all your production costs and there is likely a minimum run you'd have to make, meaning you can't just make 50 sets for the 50 people who chipped in. On top of that, there's likely some restrictions on what you can and cannot choose as far as an exclusive goes, what with future line plans to consider and the possibility that Marvel may have put certain stipulations regarding certain characters and universes.
