  1. Welcome aboard Limited Edition, our first bespoke UK Minimate supplier with a banner! As a fanatical 'proof reader' I would suggest you add an 'R' after 'You' .....one stop UK Minimate Shop
  2. Live & Let Die.......Paul Mc.Cartney & Wings......Heather Mills...(is an).....Iron Cow?
  3. I've just seen those for the first time in 'Licenses Past' & you're right they're pretty cute.
  4. Supes/Darkside ,C3 pack $4.99 +$6.00 is an excellent price but your Target Prof.X set takes some beating @ $2
  5. Whilst I could give you lots of logical reasons why they wouldn't have replacement stock on hand I am inclined to agree with you that it's frustrating that they don't. I wonder if in this instance it's because many people had many problems with this particular set & they've sent them out as replacements already
  6. Now Corndog is a different 'kettle o'fish' he was one of the driving forces at Palisades before it folded. Before I collected 'Mates I accumulated all the Palz figures & a lot of prototypes from each of the X-Files ,Die-Hard & Buffy Series' which I bought mainly from Corndog. To follow up on my earlier comment ,collecting Palz prototypes left me 'Broke &...... bandy-legged'
  7. I believe you either need to be rich or 'bandy-legged' :biggrin:
  8. For A Few Dollars More. This box is bloody brilliant ,mine arrived yesterday & one or two of my friends(not fans) actually commented that they 'wouldn't mind some of them' when they inadvertently saw them . Not an 'earth-shattering' comment you might think ....you don't know these guys! The detail on the characters are incredible with a whole range of weapons included.I was sceptical about this set but this particular set takes the'little buggers' to another level,whilst simplicity works with some 'mates ,the detail on these is spot on.
  9. I've always been a Marvel fan but the DC Series' are superb. Being a completist I originally bought a single set of each Series but I'm just waiting on a delivery of er....um....some more....& they are not that easy to get hold of. I'm not saying it's hard but they (as a series) are becoming rarer ,rapidly. I don't believe this the end at all - gut feeling .
  10. ah, i've never had a problem with ebay US, and there are a few sellers dedicated to minimates, which means combined postage is excellent ('the minimate shop'.. is £2.50 for loose figs, not matter ow many you buy). i've never bought minimates from UK ebay, there's never anything you can't pick up from forbidden planet or play.com That is one hell of a collection & you've only been collecting since Nov.07 ? Incredible. You mention Forbidden Planet which I used to love as a company. Today on the FP Web-site they list 92 'mates items,sounds good but only 9 of these items are available,26 are pre-orders & the rest are 'currently unavailable'......I guess you cleaned them out Like yourself,I found that US ebay the only way to go. Stunning collection.
  11. Would you consider giving the 'Multiverse' website a small credit on your forthcoming packaging ? I believe this would be extremely advantageous to yourselves with regard to 'first-time' buyers who may be unaware of the diversity of the Minimate range,where else would they find out? If you are receptive to the idea perhaps you could utilise the redundant area on the packaging which was specific to sales in Europe!
  12. I'm paying big $$ for photos.... I paid big ££ for the bikini!
  13. Awwww, thanks fellahs! Truth be told, though, I don't know if you would have seen it regardless? I was going through some major burnout during my contribution to the DC line (and please remember, it was a team effort with a lot of people involved) I only handled the Ambush Bug, Clayface, Flash and Grodd from the latest wave, and only did the Sinestro/Salakk from the next batch. Aside from the Cybermen and CyberController from Doctor Who (and the probably never-to-be-released Kelloggs stuff), that's it for me. At least for awhile. I've spent the past year refocusing on my portrait painting, which has been a bigger passion of mine for awhile now. The figures were a BLAST to work on, though, and there are a lot of talented people who contributed to the line. Hopefully if the next wave DOES see the light of day, it'll live up to the standards that have been set before. I'm hoping we'll see another 100+ DC Minimates, personally! And, who knows? I'd love to continue helping out with the line, so never say never. Keep the fingers crossed. And I'll be right there with ya, hoping for more DC Mates! Matt aka Iron-Cow I love this forum but let's be honest,we can go days on end with threads of pure conjecture & others of pure crap(including some,if not all of mine)& then you get one like this that is just so....enlightening. Dr.Who 'mates suddenly become reality,DC 'mates might be less than dead & the guy isn't complaining about 'Ambush Bug'...oh no!... he f**king 'handled it Read that line again & rejoice.....'Aside from the Cybermen & CyberController.....that's it for me'....
  14. Not that wierd,I got 4,all at 2 minute intervals.
  15. E-Spectrum in your trays now. Silence of the Lambs pre-orders being taken now , June 15 release.
  16. I think that those people here who ultimately will be doing the 'donkey-work'* & being 'the dog's-body'* in organising Charitymates should have the final word/veto on which charity is supported. I think the theme is pretty much cast in stone but should not influence the choice of charity .That's my 'five eggs worth'* *poor puns intended
  17. vbpanizzi is a great guy & his grail is my grail ,ADV Soapmate ....along with Shopko Spidey. I have been known to beg
