HooliganJae Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have a Rob Zombie Minimates that was messed up at factory, and instead of having "Superbeast", it contains Iron Maiden "Eddie". It is still in the factory shrink wrap, and was purchased in the early 2000s. Is there any site where I could see the possible value?

elhonez Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think, generally speaking, factory mess-ups are more of a curiosity than a value generator. Even in major lines with retail presence and broader interest, something like "so-and-so upside-down on card" is almost too rare to be valuable, if that makes sense. A variant or mistake would have to be widespread enough for there to be awareness about it to drive interest and create demand. (I also recognize that this is just academic, and "HooliganJae" with his single post was likely just probing around to see if he had inadvertently won the lottery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 As a completist (= nutjob needing help) I have accumulated several 'alternatively' packaged production minimates . The first that come to mind are those ' Ultimate Avengers 2 DVD pack-ins ' , totally worthless to everybody except nutters like me . I do however love the fact that the actual minimates 'packed-in' are subtly different to their mainstream counterparts . Ivan's Database categorises many other oddities , I spent years chasing the French language Canadian Multilingual packages ...I have them all & if you ask me to find them & show you them ...it would take weeks but I have them . Lord of the Rings (French) ? Yep. I could go on . Packaging mess-ups ? They're mess-ups & should have been consigned to the bin ........I'm an ex-packaging printer BTW.
