Hot Topic sells a ton of pop culture collectables, nowadays. I'm not surprised minimates are there now. HT gets exclusive POPS and probably more stuff that I dont know about. I would assume that most of the toy/collectable stuff they sell in there is spur of the moment purchases. TNBC isnt a mainstream Minimates line (compared to Marvel, Walking Dead, TMNT...) and they dont fit in much at a LCS. So I say it would work for the crowd they are marketing to.

I have zero of those sets.

Good to know. I was a bit worried for a second there!

um...so did you get my last package?

I have one krang and shipped 3 out to other members I have 5 of the cases. I use them for all my promos.

Happy Birthday!

Hey Everybody! If you paid for the goblins then they have shipped! I put them in the mail yesterday. If you don't receive them in a week to 10 days, let me know, I have tracking numbers.

I really want to know what Dales RV looks like with minimates. I have the Governers Room. and I wasnt thrilled with the scale. however the prison Cell looks pretty good.

by popular demand.....Glowing Goblin Army. Original: Enhanced:

Hey guys, I have the goblins in hand as of today and received addresses from everyone. I'm going to start putting everything together hopefully today. I planned on shipping in standard envelopes with some bubble wrap, then wrap the envelope in packing tape. if this is not suitable for anyone let me know.

thanks guys!

ah. yeah that makes sense.

As would I. But maybe not laid out on that hotel comforter. The glow might reveal things we don't want to see. lol

Here is an update! I'm working on gathering addresses to get shipping quotes. Once I get that, then I will send everyone my paypal address for payment. then ship out sometime next week. Thanks for your patience. and for those interested, I myself did not go to GenCon. I had a friend get these for me, us. ...and 52 total GITD Goblins going into the hands of multiversers!

For all those who inquired, GITD Goblins have been acquired. I sent a pm for addresses so I can get shipping quotes. lmk!

Wha?! I'm taking that as, Officially released chromed minimates. Why didnt we see these at SDCC?? nevertheless, cant wait to get them. are they are going to be sold at TRU and comic store? or Just TRU exclusives?

I get that, but the Hershel comment. His alternate head wasn't supposed to be hidden, and the likeness is spot on.

I dont understand.

If anyone can help. I'm looking for Series 7 Rick x 2 (Walgreens Exclusive) and series 7 Hershel (Target Exclusive) thanks!

if anyone wants these, lemme know asap! I'm going to get a bunch to help members out. So if you're interested, send me a pm. Cost + shipping. I am probably going tonight. Ok, thats a wrap. getting ready to leave work and probably wont check email much. so no more orders please.

I received my SEALS minimates yesterday!

what he said. Thanks!

I for one understand your frustrations. I got into MOTUC about 2 years after launch. I searched and searched and I currently have every figure produced. some I did have to buy on the aftermarket. and yes I have paid up to $100 for a single figure. I havnt had any real bad issues with Digital River, but I have heard more horror stories then I should have about a distributor associated with a major toy manufacturer. that one is on Mattel. its their fault for using them as a service. As far as Mattycollector goes....having gone though a long period with Scott Neitlich and now with Brandon Sopinksy (?) I will say it does seem like under the Scott reign that selling/marketing tactics now appear to be not very good. Now they say that their keyword is "transparency". they so far have seem to do a decent job of being upfront with us customers. I have a feeling that some things with subs and what not will be the same, but I also think that a lot will change to be made right the way it should be. MOTUC is on the more expensive side of collectables, especially compared to minimates. partially because you cant buy them in stores and no matter what you have shipping included, no way around that. the only major problem I'm finding now...is I dont have enough space to put all the items from the MOTUC line and aside from the classics...now, in conjunction with Super7, you really have to pick and choose what you want to collect from the MOTU world. I also have all the MOTU giants. and at roughly $100 a pop, thats a killer. and now Thundercats (my all time favorite line). I'm going to need to sell a kidney. maybe both of them and in conjunction with everything else I collect and want to collect. IT really makes me as a collector have to make every purchase a meaningful one. no more impulse buys or buy just because its a cool toy....I need to win the lottery. then again, I often think, with everything I collect and all these new properties marked as "Adult collector lines" do I really need all this stuff just to sit on a shelf...?...makes me want to not collect toys anymore.

I got a reply from Jeff. He said any remaining minimates will be sold at a lukal, I mean local retailer to the Multiverse.
