Shogi

don't they just plug into the bottom of his feet? (I haven't gotten mine yet, so I don't know for sure)

So does this mean there are no exclusive figures at TRU? (or are the aliens going to be exclusive versions?)

I wonder if this is also true for animated versions?

I'm assuming there's a hole in the cape for the flight stand to poke through

Every day this week I'm reviewing an Alien(s) Minimate set. Today I'm starting with the Alien Box Set (I've been a little behind in making reviews ) Here's some pictures from all of the reviews (I'll add in the links to the individual reviews after each one has posted) Alien Box Set Review Drake & Battle Damaged Attacking Alien Sgt Apone & Warrior Alien Dietrich & Mary Rescue Mission Ripley & Hicks

Never would have thought of that. Thanks, MS! In my mailbox was a package I've been eagerly awaiting. It's the Turflytle that Shogi made for me!! Buzz buzz! Thanks, S!! YAY! Glad he made it though the mail unscathed

Pretty sure they're gonna be normal blister carded two packs like series 1 was

Seen it at a couple of Comic shops so far, just waiting on TRU now

This is basically why I wish individual parts were easier to search for on the Minimate Database (though I can imagine it'd take a ton of work to do that just to appease a few of us)

I picked up that one from Target last year (They apparently still have it on their site right now for the same price) http://www.target.com/p/diamond-select-star-trek-the-original-series-enterprise-minimate-vehicle/-/A-14846113#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=minimate

I may look into that, I wound up with the sweater piece and built the custom around that so that's why I used it. Also I needed something to do with all these Daredevils I got on clearance

Scarlet Spider! I've wanted one of these but with some sculpted pieces. I really only had to paint all the sculpted parts. I'd prefer to use a Scarlet Spider head or Ultimate Spider Woman head, but I don't have access to either of those right now, so Ultimate Spidey head will have to do Head - Ultimate Spidey Body - TRU Daredevil Gauntlets - Cap 2 Black Widow Hoodie - Rocky Belt - New X-Men Cyclops Ankle Pouches - MAX Underwater Rescue Knife sheaths (Cut and painted)

Glad you liked 'em man!

I had a slightly different experience with the Turtles. I saw them at K-Mart once (No idea if they were ever restocked as it was many months later that I was in the same store again and found one tossed on a shelf) I was lucky enough that the one time I found them at k-mart, they were all there. It doesn't help that I only have 2 K-Mart stores near me and both are a 30 minute one way drive to get to them As for TRU, I saw them at two different TRU's once each store. I missed Leo the first time, but was able to grab him the second time. It's helpful that there is one TRU in my town, one 30 minutes away and a 3rd about an hour away Then Comic stores, I have about 4 comic stores in a 30-40 minute radius from me and only one even got the Minimates in (Most don't even bother with Minimates anymore sadly) and the box they had was already picked through. If it wasn't for Luke's, I wouldn't have the Muta Raph figure

I think that was the case with one of the TRU's near me. Showed up on a Friday and one Ezekiel out of the whole case was gone, hit the TRU in the next town to grab another Ezekiel a few days later when they got their case, the very next day I show back up at the first TRU and now they have an Ezekiel, but have clearly not gotten a new case in. It all worked out though as the second TRU had the new TMNT Turflytle figure I'd been looking for. If I hadn't gone to the second TRU, I wouldn't have found it.

I've been partial to Able from SFxT because of the scars

Awesome as always! The Symbiote joke got me rolling and I loved the Luke's moments and the Ghoul call back at the end. I now have a headache from laughing so much

If it's from your Secret Santa, I'd say it's a few months late and ready to open

I would take this whole wave.....even in blind bags

Found them in a local store today as well, unfortunately some one had gotten there before me and bought one of the Ezekiel's so my friend has a set and I'm short by one, hopefully they get restocked as quickly as Marvel 19 did

I think I've only had to contact customer service three times. Nothing ever broken, just missing/wrong parts. Had two left (or right) arms once, a missing saw blade and I believe a missing belt on another figure

Maybe Flaming Alien got moved to TRU?

I like the Walking Dead and I missed the joke too. Seems a moot point as it sounds like you're getting a replacement part. in the meantime you could even use a regular black arm piece if you have any spares. At least it wasn't a specific part that couldn't be easily substituted

Good to know!

Got two of the sets (probably the repeats in the TRU wave) Drake/BD Alien and Hicks/Ripley. Looking at the Pulse Rifle/Flamethrower combo, I noticed it's reversed from what's seen in the film (MM Acc: Flamethrower on right, Pulse on left, Movie Flamethrower on left, Pulse on right) I'm curious if the accessory was based on some promo pics or something or if the designers just thought it looked better with the flamethrower on the right. Or maybe no one really noticed and figured it didn't matter?
