The deadline will be extended until Sunday night at midnight, (10/23 at 12:00 am EDT). The reason is because I have to have two separate mods to help with the picking of the winners, and people are usually busy on the weekend. So, you have one extra day to mull it over and we will announce the winners on Monday now. Thanks!

If anyone could pick up a set with that helmet for me, or has a Maestro with that helmet/weapons, I would be happy to buy/trade for it.

I'm all for an articulated Rocket. He's the most action-oriented member of the team, so it will be nice to be able to pose him in different ways. Here's hoping we see a comic version as well.

Thanks everyone! DST was especially kind to go ahead and show the Mojo/Spiral/Silver Samurai figures ahead of my birthday. I mean, those were intended to be birthday presents, right?

***12/21 UPDATE*** The deadline will be extended until Sunday night at midnight, (10/23 at 12:00 am EDT). The reason is because I have to have two separate mods to help with the picking of the winners, and people are usually busy on the weekend. So, you have one extra day to mull it over and we will announce the winners on Monday now. Thanks!*** Greetings to all ghouls, ghosts, and goblins! It is time once again for the MMMV Turns 10 Giveaway. It's October so that means we are going to have a season appropriate round of giveaways this month. Here's how it will work: There are four different giveaway packages and each one has a candy associated with it. For instance, one of the candy choices is a Snickers Pumpkin. If you want to be entered in the drawing for the Snickers Pumpkin giveaway package, just post "Snickers Pumpkin", and then you will be entered into that drawing. The only hard part will be choosing which giveaway package to enter for! MMMV members are eligible to enter. You will have 10 days to post which package you want to try for, (DEADLINE IS 10/22 at midnight, EDT). You can only enter for one of the drawings! Once the deadline has passed, we will have a drawing for each of the four giveaways. Special note to all non-U.S. participants: I will cover the cost of loose shipping, but if you win and want to keep the packaged figures in the package for shipping, then you will be responsible for half of the shipping costs. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them asap. And now, here are the four Halloween Giveaway packages to choose from: #1 - The Twix Ghost Package This package is full of zombie goodness as well as an "I Love This Town" Ghostbusters Box Set. In addition to the box set, the winner will get a Jay & Silent Bob Zombies 2 pack, three Walking Dead TRU exclusive sets, and a bag of assorted TWD zombie parts to spruce up your horde! #2 - The Snickers Pumpkin Package This set is for all of the throwback horror fans of Universal Monsters! The winner will get a Creature From the Black Lagoon Box set, three TRU exclusive black & white sets, and a handful of other loose UM figures from various sets, including Dracula and Frankenstein. #3 - The Reese's Pumpkin Package This package is for a complete loose set of the original Marvel Zombies heroes packs, (the box set plus two exclusive two packs), as well as a Marvel Zombies Villains Series 2 Box Set. Brrrrraaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnnssssssss! #4 - The Peeps Ghosts Package So maybe you aren't into zombies and monsters. No worries, we have you covered! This package includes four Walgreens exclusive Marvel sets, (including the Nighthawk and Power Princess sets from the new wave), as well as four sealed Alice Through the Looking Glass figures from the Hot Topic blind bag series! So choose wisely before reaching into the MMMV candy bowl and we will be back on the 23rd to announce the winners. Good luck to all!

Looks fantastic! That display case is an absolute work of art. I've been on the fence about picking up some vehicles form other lines, but seeing the blackbird with minimates has made me change my mind. Congrats to the PMK!

Nice work, Gmonk!

I can't even describe how happy this wave makes me.

I'm either a day late or 364 days early in wishing you both a Happy Birthday!

Wow, out-f'ing-standing work!

Are promos no longer going to be something that DST does or are we just in a drought?

That's how you do a Wolverine wave.Maybe switch out Daken for Albert/Elise Dee, but yeah. Nice wave.

I'm interested to see what, if any, exclusives will be at NYCC. It seems like we've been seeing fewer exclusives and no promos at cons as of late. Also, didn't DSTChuck mention that we will get something different than the zombie box set that we've seen the last few years? Maybe we will find that out soon as well.

Everyone is eligible to enter, even past participants/winners.

September Giveaway Time! We are going to revisit a giveaway from the past which means more Mystery Crates! Here's how it works: There are 2 Mystery Crates to give away. One is Sci-Fi and one is Miscellaneous. All you have to do is post which one you would like to be entered for. Just post Sci-Fi or Misc and you'll be entered into the drawing for that crate. You can only enter for one crate. You have 10 days to post, (deadline is midnight on 9/29, EDT). This giveaway is open to all MMMV members. Our regular rules of randomness will be applied where any and all randomness is required. Good luck to all!

That's an absolute nightmare.

I've got a W4 Blind Bag Baxter complete with mousers to trade for a W5 Blind Bag Space April, if anyone is interested.

I ultimately decided to chuck all of the boxes/packing materials. The amount of space I freed up doing so was great. I haven't really noticed very much of of an uptick in resale value for loose figures with the packages and/or repacked figures. Even if there are a couple of instances where you might get a little more from having the packaging included, you would, as PL mentioned, save a ton shipping figures loose and without packaging. It will cost less, be easier, and you won't have to worry about people not reading the auction closely and mistaking a repackaged product for a new one. Another big part would be for loose collectors. I actually like buying loose figures because you know if the figure is complete and unbroken. There's always a chance with older figures that you open up a package and find an expensive figure with a broken joint or bad paint scratch. I remember opening up my X-Factor Angel and being kind of nervous when I did a joint check on the knees. If your buyer is a loose collector, and there seem to be more loose than mib collectors with Minimates, I would think that you'll be more than fine with just selling the figure.

Hey yb, I just tried to send you a pm but it looks like your messenger is disabled.

The votes are in and we have a winner. Congrats goes to: bzorio! Thanks for an awesome contest and to everyone that participated. And thank you to the voters as well. Everyone that submitted a vote was entered into a random drawing for a Luke's Toy Store gift certificate. And the winner of the drawing was MisterPL. Congrats to you as well! Thanks again everyone. And make sure to check back in a few days to find the September thread...

You're going to make a set of Hobo Avengers, aren't you?

We have our participants. Thank you to everyone that took time to enter! Voting will now open. A quick reminder of the voting details: If you are a participant, you cannot vote for your own entry. The 10 point minus system will be used to calculate the results. Points awarded will be as follows: 1st will get 10pts, 2nd will get 9pts, 3rd will get 8pts. Tie-breakers will be decided by the number of 1st place votes, and then by a panel of Mods if there is a further tie. During the voting period, please send all ballots by PM to me, with the subject line of AUGUST VOTING. And to make it worth your while to cast a vote, there will be a prize given to one random person that submits a vote. Voting starts now and will run for one week. The deadline will be 9/6 at midnight. Good luck to all!
