I did, with one hundred percent accuracy thus far. It isn't very hard. If you can finvd them, you should be fine. Some tips: -Spider-Man, Silk, and Iron Man all feel similar. For Silk, make sure the figure has hair. For Iron Man, make sure the alternate head has hair. For Spider-Man, make sure the figure has neither. -Wolverine is pretty easy to distinguish by her sculpted boots, which no other figure has. -Spider-Gwen is similar, as she's the only figure with hair strands in the front. -Old Man Logan feels sort of like Iron Man or Spider-Man, but his short hair and lack of an alternate head set him apart. -Venom is by far the easiest because of how big he is. You should be able to tell just by holding the bag. -I don't think I've come across Deadpool yet, but I imagine it should be fairly simple to indentify her shoulder pads.

MisterPL Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I was comparing my two Miles 'mates last night and noticed the NOW figure is taller. He's got a different crotch piece with hip pegs placed lower than others. It gives him a bit more height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Minimates are pretty easy to feel up compared to Legos. Wait, did I just say that? I need new hobbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can if you really have time to try and figure it out. Â If you have a shop owner that yells at you when you try it then it's impossible.

Heinous Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Idk if we're only taking about Minimates, but my buddy went to a tru and they kept the minifigure Legos behind the counter and just handed you how ever many you want. What an idiotic thing to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to two. Â What sucks is that I could buy them to help out people on here but I'm not buying them if I have no idea who I'm getting. Â So...they're still there months later and then they end up not getting any new stuff in. Â Helluva business plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) It turns out my girlfriend is a great distraction when you need to feel the bags and don't want to get yelled at. I've found two Silks so far.  They were both in the #10 spot.  You can tell it's her by feeling for the edge of the hair on top of her her head and making sure there's no hair hanging over her shoulders in front (like Gwens). I'm keeping one for myself.  If anyone needs Silk but has duplicates of some of the others from this wave, pm me. Edited December 25, 2016 by MisterMiracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Why not just offer up the extra to the next member in line for cost plus shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I'd definitely be down to take it at cost + shipping! edit: my PayPal is also ready at a moments notice!

Chigarillo Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Are tese being carried at TRU or only specialty? I can venture out to a couple of TRUs to look for Silks (have no interest in one for me) but the comic shop in Rochester doesn't carry mates that I've ever seen.

Because I know there are people on here that bought a box and split them up and might need Silk and also need to get rid of some duplicates so I can murder multiple birds while conserving stones.  I'm kinda interested in some of the other ones after seeing the loose pictures. 6 hours ago, Chigarillo said: Are tese being carried at TRU or only specialty?

MisterMiracle Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 So...Menagerie SOLD 14 Silks at $24.99 and then the last one 1 at $29.99.  Remember when I suggested that nobody on here buy them so the price drops? The exact opposite happened.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still pretty scummy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a part of that But I can see why someone might go through him. What if you wait and never find one and can't get anyone to help you out. It's cheaper than $80 next year.

youbastards Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Well, assuming he bought 15 cases (looks like he might be getting them direct from Diamond now), that's still 255 Minimates that he needs to try and recoup the cost on aside from the 1 per cases. I bought a Silk from him for $25. Â I've also been selling the Hot Topic blind bag exclusives for $25-$30. Â I used to condemn Menagerie, but when it comes to Blind Bags, we're all getting ^&#$ed anyway, so might as well play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Not to be a dick but I really hope DST loses a tonnnn of money on these so that they'll NEVER try it again. I'll help em make their money back by buying vehicles though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
