I just don't understand what has happened with these WG waves .

Zach is absolutely right & I am wrong....it happens I have just re-read some old PMs from around that (Muppet S3) time & they confirm what Zach has said . I always buy custom cases when I can but I struggled with these.

Me too. Superb custom.

Those customs are all marvellous but there is one in particular that is sensational .

I read some of my posts 'afterwards' & occasionally cringe . That one was brutal . Here's what I should've said .......... Muppets minimates Series 3 had a chase pack , Newsman & Pepe , one per case . That pack is & was , IMHO, one of the most elusive retail Minimate packs on ebay ever . The wave is also one of the most elusive LCS Minimate waves ever . This has been the scenario since they were first released almost 2 years ago , they have never been prolific on ebay & it transpired that some on-line suppliers were initially caught out by its scarcity . I bought my Series 3...er.... requirements.... from 3 different suppliers which is unique because for years I generally use one , this was out of necessity . The good news is that the Zoot/Lips pack isn't quite as rare as the Pepe pack . Good luck with your hunt elhonez & I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Custom cases for Muppets series 3 were available . You have found the only place that have these for sale.

Anybody want to give a few of us a quick/simple tutorial on this matter ?

I have a hard copy which I constantly refer to ,it's invaluable . There are several items that he doesn't seem to list ....perhaps it's because their (Japanese) names are unfathomable .

2 of these GTA box sets arrived today & on first inspection they are pretty little items. It's never wise to compare kubricks with minimates so I shan't be doing that without saying that kubricks are almost an entirely different beast & most importantly bigger than 'mates. That said I'll also say that I am no gamer & I have very little concept of who these characters are, they are unknown to me . What I want to say is that these 'civilian' type characters are packaged superbly , I was once the guy that printed this type of stuff & it is just superb . Medicom have (almost) done away with hairpieces ,each character either has a moulded head with hair or has a hat /mask & it works ...it works well . Each character has an accessory & I'm guessing that these would be 'obvious' to anybody who 'games' . Medicom have always nailed their characters with small /simple hand held accessories which ultimately are almost a part of the character ........I'm thinking 'Lost' kubricks where each character had that accessory that you associated him/her with on the TV show.

There most certainly have been previous 4 GTA sets &, for a while, the last incarnation (San Andreas) was extremely hard to get hold of . You'll note that these new sets are ,confusingly, set IV (4) ,set V(5) & ...er...set V(5) 'Heist Edition' . Information on kubricks is always sparse but this list is invaluable http://www.zachd.com/kubricks/kubricks.html .

Just out of the blue I realised that ( after several years) there are some new kubrick releases https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60546/New-Grand-Theft-Auto-Kubrick-Sets-Coming-September-14 I'm wondering whether these are just a 'one-off' but it would seem (to me) unlikely that Medicom would just produce a few box sets & then just put the line back into hibernation ?

Thanks Matt .

Thanks Zach that's very kind of you to offer but I'll be actually up to speed with everything very soon God bless my fellow MMMV members.

When is this ? LMK & maybe I'll buy you both a drink .

RIP Mr. Lee . Thank you for everything that you gave to me .
