I bought the set from the TRU ebay store and got a immediate refund. I finally got the set from toysrus.com. I got it in today and of course the package was crushed. My last 2 minimate purchases from them have arrived damaged. Anyone here have the same problem with the TRU shipping? Will they resend you a new one?
-
YOU. No, please question my delivery dates. If Minimates show up early, everybody wins. For the most part. In true nerd form, I gave Zach a hobo Jem doll as a gift. The pic was printed in Toyfare issue 85 page 8. PS.. I'm sorry for the necklace it was a phase. Kisses, jason

Yes, shipping dates are sometimes late -- since I've been here, I have not seen them go earlier than what we have indicated on the blog, but I've only been here since May, so I'll defer to you guys on that. But I can't even imagine how you would have gotten Minimates before they were listed in Previews, unless they were offered somewhere else first. Diamond's retailer site says "shipped 12/28." I knew many retailers get their items on Tuesdays, but I had no idea they got them this early. I guess they sent shipments out early for the holidays. I met Zach at a Wizard World Texas in 2003 (or maybe 2004). He is a man of his word! You better believe his delivery dates. But he sucks at video trivia. I beat him at classic rock video trivia in the bar. Good times! I think he has a restraining order against me now. Come back to me Zach!

I found all of wave 12 (Civil War Cap/Arnim, Armored Thor/Beta Ray Bill, 1st app Thor/Balder and Cap/Crossbones) at the Toy R US at 249 and FM 1960 in Houston. I was there around 1:00pm and they loads of 'em. I still can't find the Galactus Box Set. I'm not even sure if it's still out. I might have to run to ebay on this one but I was hoping to save on the shipping. Edit: Let me know if anyone needs theses and you have stuff on my trade list. Let's trade!

I think this is the right area to post this...if not please advise. Anyway, I'm having a signature problem. Can someone please help me? At the bottom in the signature area I have my links to my "trades and want to buy section". For some strange reason my codes are all jacked up and you get a error. So...my question is. Can someone please remind me (or send me the link) to the correct area so I can type in the code to fix my codes. I know it start with <a href="http:// or something like like. Basically, I need help fixing my code. Thank you in advance. Old Man Jason

This box is coming along..
-
I know your pain! I started in 2000 slowly re-buying them on ebay and in my local comic shops. This is what I have so far.
-
I agree. But I want 'em both. I like my original box but would love to have a fresh perfect one. I think the Alien displays pretty awesome in the box. Go Go 1979!
-
I'm working on a reproduction box for my 1979 alien figure. This is kind of a test run. Here is my original box. I flattened the box and scanned it. The image is 31" X 34" and cost $50.00 just to print it. I wish I would have waited and corrected all the flaws on the original scan. The 2nd box I make I'll correct all the tears and bends. Like I said this is a test run. If all goes well I'm going to repair my Jumbo Shogun Warrior boxes. I welcome all tips, questions and comments. jason

Hey Superjayd49, It's not really a big prized possession on mine. Send me a pm if you wanna trade something for it. Easy, Jason
-
I got it. Got any 2003 blanks?
-
Haha! Nice.
-
It's funny cos I have none of the other figures. I'm not into them. My brother won a Muppets prototype. I think it was a rat or something like that. I need to get that off of him. Do you know what kind of valve this Pit Witch has?
-
I forgot I had this and thought I would show you guys. I won this prototype Army of Darkness Pit Witch at Wizard World Texas. It was in 2002 or maybe 2003 I can't remember. Anyway, I was walking by the Palisades booth and bought one ticket. I got lucky and they called my ticket number and gave me the figure and the card describing the auctioned item. Check it out!

No Captain America is safe in my house
jason4444 replied to jason4444's topic in Custom Creations & Artwork!
Yeah! You are right. I have been casting them face down so I get a true flat surface on the front. But I could easily cast them face up and position the arm out. -

Hey Bob, No problem. I had someone tell me that I used too much catalyst that's why some look clear and some have moar bubbles/rough areas. I like 'em all. I was going for the frozen ice look so it's win win. The first mate I did was the white one. I wanted to see if it would work and how it looked. I really like how the 3rd Cap turned out of in the pic above. The face area is very clear. This was the only one I cast different. I'm new to this and a lot of this was trial and error. The biggest and really only problem I had was at first I put the mate in and poured the resin and waited for it to dry. Well after a few minutes the figure would start to float up. So I was checking it about every 5 minutes and pushing the mate down until the resin started to harden. This was crazy important cos I didn't want the mate to harden with him half way out. One mate took me about an hour just checking on it. Anyway, on that last mate I did (3rd from the left). I poured half the resin in, dropped the mate in and waited for it to dry. Then I poured the other half of the resin in. Maybe this is common sense to most ppl but I didn't know. I just got lucky on the face area being clear. The last thing I did was very lightly sand down the mates. A few of them needed the edges trimmed with a hobby knife. All in all very simple and anyone can do it. Oh yeah, I hot glued the shields on the back so they would stay in place. If anyone wants I can take a pic of the resin I used and the tools needed.
