  1. They already deleted the edit. Gotta love Wiki-shit. Here's what I wrote: Unfortunately Digger's legacy as the creator of Minimates has been forever tarnished. While promoting his Agent 88 kickstarter he appealed to the Minimate community with Minimate rewards in exchange for contributing to the kickstarter. He went as far to open a dialog on the Minimate Multiverse, the most prominent Minimate website on the net, to encourage members to give him money in exchange for exclusive Minimates. Shortly after the kickstarter campaign was completed and successful, Digger ceased communicating with the members. With the kickstarter ending August 2012, the rewards were supposed to be fulfilled March 2013. As of February 2014 they have not been sent out and Digger has not responded to multiple communications. In fact Diamond Select has yet to hear from Digger as well in regards to producing the Minimates. There is an impending lawsuit from the kickstarter backers to try and recover their money, as they were fraudulently deceived by Digger.
  2. Unfortunately guys Kickstarter only acts as a middleman. They don't touch the cash besides what's paid to them as their final fee. Our best recourse at this point would be to round everyone up who paid for the Mates and have someone file a small claims case against him in his home state.
  3. Top notch work! I'm glad those babies are mine! ALL MINE! MUAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHHHAA..*cough*
  4. Would love to see the HQ get made as well. http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=176&itemid=21800
  5. Sadly the TRU in the mall I work at, seems to not be stocking them anymore for quite some time. The last thing I saw was the Phoenix 4 pack. But they've never had walking dead at all. But this is in Canada and we are the land of the few. I've said it before in posts, TRU is a very badly managed company. They literally tell their employees to put toys "where they fit" and their stock system is a mess. I'm in retail, and if a price changes, it changes company wide. Not in certain locations. Very odd way of doing business.
  6. While my first two orders with Luke were far from smooth, every order since has been good. It's nice to have a good resource for a small community like this!
  7. I admit I got swept up in the furor of this when it started. IT's not the money that I'm out that bothers me, it's what a lot of the comments earlier stated: He came, he took, and he disappeared. We are almost a year past the original delivery date for getting our Minimates, and I doubt they are ever coming. While most big websites won't give a crap about a small Kickstarter project not fulfilling it's rewards, it might be a good idea to start making noise about it. In the end we may be out our money, but it could do some serious damage to Digger's ability to ever get funding from somewhere else again.
  8. It takes a strong man and an even stronger father/husband to admit to their shortcomings. Hopefully you get everything sorted out!
  9. As someone who works in entertainment retail I can almost guarantee that Thief of Thieves came as a package with the Walking Dead mates. Companies do this all the time. For example in order to get either more copies or a price break on a certain release, you have to take a certain amount of a lesser dvd. It's a balancing act for sure. So DST probably had to make a few concessions to get the Walking Dead license.
  10. Same as Mini_Myte, found WD and Fan Poll here in Calgary today.

  12. Hmm I ordered the Kitt as well as two packs of Wave 14. I got a shipping notice for both of those, but the other walking dead mates that were on that order haven't shipped, but they also haven't cancelled the order. TRU has to be the most disorganized company ever.
  13. We got these new Movie Scene things at work today. I figured they might make nice backdrops for mates. I set one up and took a few pictures. Sorry for the bad quality, it's my phone.
  14. Needed a big zombie to play with the little zombies:
  15. My newest zombie wanted to meet his little buddies:
  16. Congrats Digger! Happy to be a part of this and can't wait to see the end results!
  17. I happen to be missing a Dead Six from my BSG collection. If you wanted to sell one I'd be more than happy to buy one!
  18. I do dirty dirty things. It was nice to meet you at SDCC btw!
  19. Probably just an optical illusion.
  20. Also be aware that most (Pickle may disagree) TRU stores have ZERO merchandising cohesion. You may find a Minimate price sticker with the marvel toys, but the minimates themselves may be on a shelf somewhere else. Not to mention go find the clearance section for action figures, often times there are a ton of mates there as well. You literally need to look throughout the action figure sections before you give up.
