Cappy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Dang, I totally forgot about the mail-away head deal. I, however, actually received a head, not a blank. *sniff* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I love this thread! Thanks for sharing all the photos! What an amazing collection. To wander into your minimate hut and to go through and look at everything would be like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 1339874224[/url]' post='232635']I'm glad a buddy pointed me to this thread! This is so fun peeking into the secret stashes and stories people have. So yeah, I'm sure this got us all going into our closets again. I'm jealous of several of your pics, Rob. Particularly the Spidey Max and Symbiote Spideys. Torment me with the Torment Spideys and I'll start making fun of your age again! And Rob, did you ever see this before? I still have the letter and square envelope DST sent me on the Venom tongue promotion. The first time I felt that DST honestly cared and they still do to this day. Wait, is the yellow blank considered rare? I've had one in my collection for a while. I either got it in a bin at a toy show or a flea market, for a quarter I think. Not bagged, just loose.

WookieFodder Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 i think we all know the purpose for having so many minimates is that when they eventually come to life, the biggest army has the best shot at world domination. That's why customs/customizers are so important, they're the wild cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ... I have official packaged items that do not appear on the Database ...all of which are C3. ... Yeah, I've heard there are French versions in addition to the Spanish C3 stuff but I can't recall seeing photos. I occasionally wonder how many markets those sets made it into. Same with the LOTR. I've accepted that the MMDB will never be complete. Now I just aim for comprehensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why customs/customizers are so important, they're the wild cards. Sorry, but my troop building sickness habits far outweigh any customizers. I might not have the variety that Rob has, but my troops can probably give him a good run for his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Modern including Stealth, Downloaded, Tyllium, etc, or just plain old Cylons? Very jealous, that's impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I bet TM2 loaded up when they went on clearance at FYE, am I right? They were selling those 5 packs for $5 a piece at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right you are, although by the time I was done I was getting them for $1.25 a 5 pack. I wasted so much gas driving all over the city. Should have gone further. So much fun. :biggrin: Towards the end I would walk in and ask the manager how much they'd take for me to take the Minimate stock off theirhands. Some more pics. I know I've got a few more bags somewhere in my closet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Very nicely done Sam! It just makes me glad I'm getting closer to a place where I can start showing some pics of my collection like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wish I had the room to display them. Really i just have them in ziploc bags at the bottom of this massive box with GI Joes. So many GI Joes. What am I gona do with all these Joes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm still waiting for a challenger of my Cylon army. Your pictures of those Cylons are just unbeatable Dino ,the picture of the 'shinies' ,beautiful . I can show pictures of packets & cases all day long but those 'in the flesh' pics are what collecting Minimates is all about . Despite my buying habits I have rarely army built...erm.. army builders. Cylons are a different kettlofish & i had a small army before I'd even seen an episode of BSG I'm pretty sure that, even if I unloaded all my Wave 25 packs, Groundhog's AIM army would easily surpass it in numbers....pictures pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Not all of my troops are that largely built, especially after selling some off last year (though I was able to trade back for most of them). Also, I have quite a few on special assignment up in the Canadian tundra. However, the ones I'm most thrilled about should be arriving in the mail within a week or so. All I can say is that I was especially challenged by the quote a demi-god made recently. Soon, one of my Minimates can say with all honesty, 'I have an army'.

hellpop Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Er, if anyone is looking for Cylons, I've had a few on my trade list for awhile.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
