Mystery Man Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I’m just wondering why there never seems to be any news about new Minimates anymore. I make sure me feel like it’s 2006 again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 So...it sounds like Gamestops won't be around much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I was just reading about their predicament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Probably just in time for DST to announce they are the new home for comic minimates and a bunch of other stuff. There are definitely too many Gamestops and they'd be better off closing some. Not good when the biggest buyer goes out of business, the next biggest buyer is a drug store, most comic shops dropped minimates due to sales decreasing from TRU overlap and now Gamestop troubles. Hopefully, DST was able to get into Target or starts embracing online/direct to consumer sales. There's really no other good avenues left.

MisterPL Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 GameStop isn't the only chain that's struggled due to downloading. FYE has had to diversify quite a bit to stay in the business and now they're the number one retailer for Funko Pop figures. GameStop has probably been watching that model and wants to mirror its success. With a lot of luck they could become the number one retailer for Minimates!

MrClean Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Unless the future of comic waves or displaced TRU waves resides in a big box retailer like Walmart or Target, with comparable shelf space to TRU, then I’d rather not have to chase down minimates at a small place such as Gamestop or Hot Topic with barely 1-2 pegs worth of space allotted. Walgreens has hit their wall and has become frustrating enough for most of us. I really don’t want feel that at multiple places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to manage and FYE many years ago (almost 20 at this point; man am I old now) and they are almost recognizable. Granted the music industry completely collapsed after I got out, but now those stores are basically pop culture merchandisers with a little bit of music in the back.

I worked at Wall to Wall Sound and Video one summer when I got out of college and, yeah, it's changed quite a bit since those days. It's funny that FYE has quite an inventory of vinyl, both in music and in collectible figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Any of those would be stellar, especially Earth’s Mightiest and Under Siege. I’d love wave 77 to be classic Avengers themed. Edited October 3, 2018 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 My heart wants it to be some kind of general, classic Marvel Universe wave with some weirdos mixed in with the standards (I'm holding out for a Spider-Man/Boomerang pack), but my head tells me it'll probably be a Dark Phoenix wave to tie in with the movie; Something with a Cyke, Dark Phoenix, Xavier, Lliandra, Gladiator, and Wolverine. Fingers crossed for heart over head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 @funkguerilla I was with you until you said Gladiator. Now I hope your head is right. Tell your heart that I apologize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Don't speak ill of Kallark. It might be hard to tie into a movie that keeps getting delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Oh, I don’t speak ill of Kallark. Funkguerrilla’s head said that we’d be getting a Dark Phoenix wave, which I’d be in favor of if it means we get the Gladiator. Heck, I’d even take a Melvin Potter Gladiator.

funkguerilla Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 A Melvin Potter Gladiator, now you're talking! I'll pass on the message @Freaqualizer, but I warn you my heart can really hold a grudge. It still gets riled about the untimely cancelation of Slingers.

Freaqualizer Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I really would like more Daredevil folks. Ikari, the Owl, Melvin Potter, Blindspot, Typhoid Mary, Mister Fear, Muse. More Daredevil, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 A Dark Phoenix Saga would also be a great choice in my opinion, even if the movie’s in some kind of limbo. I’d say Dark Phoenix and White Queen are two of the most needed redos in the line, and it’d be good to see some of the bigger Shi’Ar characters.

NerdyTrev Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 For a Dark Phoenix assortment I'd want to see Dark Phoenix / Cyclops Fang Wolverine / Gladiator Sebastian Shaw / Emma Frost Professor X / Lilandra BaM: Shadowcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 That’s about what I’d want to see too, but I’d replace Professor X with a new classic Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that's what I get for reading too fast. Just looking out for the guy, his confidence is so fragile. Now you've got me thinking about my most wanted pack: Gladiator/Gladiator. Whatever the theme ends up being I hope the wave is out well before the current (as of today anyway) June 7th release date for Dark Phoenix.
