  1. I haven't tried Galactus yet & MacGuyvers skimp on the fries....personally I prefer Burger-King.
  2. I'm still gettin' high on the ol' 'Forum maintenance' ....but it's early A BHM drunk post....sounds like a German sports car :biggrin:
  3. I am quite confident that if a certain minority of the board members here are using 100% of their brains then we have not been invaded by Skrulls but perhaps slugs
  4. The Martian Manhunter is a character that I was completely unaware of until I collected 'mates,so when I noticed a batch of Martian Manhunter comics on Ebay I duly snapped them up. 'The others among us' is a Mini-Series of 8 from 2006-7 & was quite enjoyable though not stunning. The main characters names however appeared to have come straight from a Manchester United Yearbook......J'onn is trying to protect Alex Ferguson from Rio Ferdinand & Giggs!! I guess that'll mean 'llareggub' to those of you Stateside but Mr.A.J.Lieberman ,the writer must be a Red's fan.
  5. It's St.Patrick's Day this coming Monday. St.Patrick is most famous for ridding Ireland of snakes! To this day Ireland & New Zealand are the only countries in the world that do not have snakes. It is not known for sure whether or not St.Patrick actually visited NZ but we are sure what his words were as he drove the snakes out of Ireland.......... ''Are you boys OK in the back of the car''
  6. That's cool, I'm not picking a fight. I'm just calling it as I see it! Here's another one for you guys to ponder... James Bond Vs Jack Bauer ( to stop this being a Marvel vs DC fest) T. Easy. James Bond would win . How? Bond would wait 24 hours & then Jack Bauer would be shagged out :biggrin: Mind you ,by then Bond would probably be shagged out as well
  7. No problems man , no worries at all ,relax ,chill, just look at those colours ....Weird scenes in the gold mine
  8. His name is RONDAM... still don't get it? Wait a minute... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... no, still don't get it? Oh oh oh oh... Got it!! His name is RANDOM! What do i win? A weekend in Manchester
  9. Please somebody give him Aztek......please ..p l e a s e
  10. Put all your money on Batman.......however..... if Cap wasn't dead .....
  11. The character in the picture is.....I'll help a little....R*ND*M.
  12. Welcome! Minimates are an addiction , Kubricks are a curse.
  13. The 3 best ways of conquering Earth is by regular turning, careful use of manure & the profligeration of worms. I am Lex Luthor!
  14. I actually started to put Skrull as a gender choice, but remembered that its supposed to be secret... We can choose our gender? I'm free!
  15. Hmmmm in that case they might as well go the whole way and do Buttheadsmate mini's T. They would be awesome :biggrin: Think of the accessories.....zimmer frame,slippers,Catherine Zeta-Jones
  16. Rad,I,for one,am pleased with the return of the simian.
  17. Is that 6 guns as in 6 in number or six-guns as in revolvers? For the record Kubrick weapons generally don't fit Kubricks ! Seriously.
  18. 1945 Berlin .......''Mein gott und himmel, Speer ! You mean that the whole bunker is made from verdamt LEGO !'' ''Jawohl mein fuhrer,we bought it off ebay'' '' D-day ?'' Somehow a Lego recreation of WW11 ,to me at least ,seems hilarious enough to rival 'Dad's Army' & 'Alo Alo'. Oh my God! Dad's Army Minimates.......I am in need :biggrin:
  19. Actually Gillbob your reply (esp.) is probably the most concise . Variants were probably a good marketing idea when they were introduced ,the era before many of us bought on-line. I could be wrong(it happened once )but I would imagine ,now ,most of us here buy each wave including the variant as they are offered by the on-line retailer . I'll be controversial & ask 'if not why not?'. My first concern is for 'Minimate Fans TNG' , if US LCS can't/won't stock chase sets we'll have a generation of short-changed collectors to add(subtract?) from those lost from Europe. My second concern is that we are being shepherded to on-line ,not a place known for it's democracy.Collecting is all about the chase ,that's fine if you can afford it,but I rue the day when only the well-heeled can collect......ask a Kubrick completist who's best hope of a set+chases is to buy 4-8 cases of 12 blind boxes.
  20. Always been a Marvel-man but I thought the DC Series 'as an entirity' was superb. There are individually better 'mates in different genres but so far out of the 56 ,yes, 56 characters(soon to be 64) there aren't many sad items. I repeat I'm a Marvel fan,a Marvel Minimate fan but can that honestly be said about the Marvel Line? Of course I wouldn't buy a 'DC- Non' because DC 'mates 'll be back....it is written
  21. When I first started my addiction (from scratch) I concentrated on the variants first.This was generally(with expensive exceptions) a success,long term. In the UK ,it's not the variants that are the'problem' it's the exclusives that FU up. Exclusive AFX,Tower,TRU,Wal-Mart, FYE,Suncoast & heaven forbid Target are necessary 'evils' & IF you live in the States ,accessible & good fun, but it is almost a disease to be a completist in the UK However strangely enough although I've whinged about this many times....I love the chase,metaphorically & literally. It may sound naff but if I hadn't have had a little(quite a lot actually) help from my friends here my 'disease' might have crushed me. Thankyou
  22. I confine my purchases of Minimates, out of necessity,to online shops & ebay.I have never bought a 'mate in a shop :o Bearing this in mind would someone explain to me how it works in a LCS when the 'mates hit the shelves? I assume the variants are priced higher (how much?) & isn't it human nature to grab them first? I genuinely don't know the score about this so....tell me please.
