Nervous Rex Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We'll guys in case you forgot, I used to hold a top secret clearance. I'd be more than happy to dust off my old surveillance tricks and security tactics I don't think I'll be able to squeeze back into my uniform though.

Nessex Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 how do you guys find this stuff. I once came close to buying a paint sample from the DSS line - but the seller backed out at the last minute and decided not to sell to me. He did that on a couple of occasions actually. I almost bought a couple of proto's from early in the Marvel line too. Was pretty disappointed actually What sorcery was used to acquire this stunning specimen?

buttheadsmate Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Having just been outed as the 'Gordon Gecko' of the Minimate world I've decided to take the gloves off . I took these photos this morning as I prepared a journey for one of the gang.... "I know what you're thinking punks You're thinking did he a have a case of six or only five ?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement ......................." -bolivartrasksmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Well it was the original Minimates armybuilder... Has anyone ever posted pics of a multiple-Sentinel X-Men display? That'd be pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'll admit that I have been tempted to do a multiple display but the practicalities of doing such a picture put me off . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wasn't I around when that case started it's journey east across North America and then the Atlantic? Seems like it's working its way around the globe the long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 No that particular case was bought in the UK......you're thinking about the 2 Sentinels I brought to SDCC in 2010 from the UK & passed on to Storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I can't get enough of this thread. I absolutely love the pictures. I have been on a huge minimate kick the last few weeks....not really sure why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I wish I could track down some of those unproduced LOTR Minimates. I was so excited to get them and really love the line. That was the first line where I really staked out TRU locations to get them. Its a shame they didn't do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) As you may know I live in the UK & my necessary method of shipping much of what I buy from TRU.com is via co-operative & generous friends here .......I buy from TRU.com ,ship the items to a friend's US address & eventually he will ship on all the various items to me in the UK when his wife wants her spare bedroom back This 'operation' involves a fair amount of patience because in many instances I don't receive some items for many months ....let me add that this isn't a gripe ,Hell no,it's just the way it has to be . What I eventually receive in one big package often surprises me because I have often forgotten what was coming !!!! Bearing that all in mind I today received a magnificent boxful of loot which included one batch of items from TRU.com that is only suitable for this thread & may well turn stomachs especially if you are a Walking Dead Minimate fan . I ordered these items in January 2013 & for the record I did not order what eventually arrived . You'll possibly feel that I should be pleased......I am..... but just let me say that this scenario has happened before & I have been on the end of some complete debacles when it comes to mix-ups from TRU.com ...........the Wave 2 Michonne/zombie pack mountain comes to mind ........a picture of that one would have you roll along in the aisles with laughter Picture to come in my next post.........you're warned. edit,sp.

MisterPL Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 As someone who just drove up and down the east coast, from Pennsylvania to Florida and back, stopping in as many TRU stores as he could along the way to find the elusive Walking Dead Series 5, I have a serious sense of dread now. Thanks for the warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
