Mystery Man Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If this is true, I can get the drop on all those Green Lantern bodies a week earlier for my Corps! HEE HEE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 My LCBS said when he placed the orders, Series 1 wasn't scheduled to come in until April... Who to believe!? Who to believe!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I was just in my local shop today and he still had them on the books for the 28th. I'm kind of hoping it's still that, even though I am jonesing for them to get here already. My big fear is that it's going to be one wave after the other and I'm not going to be able to keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
you_will_forget Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I hope they aren't - I don't get paid 'til the 28th. Mind you, those lovely people at Forbidden Planet want me to pay the massive overcharge cost, so I'm sure they'll keep them a week for me. Maybe. *starts worrying* Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I suspected they'd be moved up to coincide with NY Comic Con. Good call DC. Get 'em out there with as much hype and fanfare as possible! Keep this line going! Also, I wonder if this press release includes minimates: February 6, 2007 - DC Comics has released this teaser announcement, promising more details at the upcoming American International Toy Fair: DC COMICS ANNOUNCES NEW STRATEGY TO LICENSE AND DISTRIBUTE POP CULTURE CHARACTERS DC Comics announced plans today to license and distribute collectibles based on the world's greatest pop culture characters and stories under a new brand name, DC Unlimited. The first series of DC Unlimited products will be unveiled at New York's American International Toy Fair, and will be distributed to all retail outlets, including mass market and specialty channels. I know it says 'collectibles' but that could include a lot of different product.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'm gonna see if my LCS is willing to accept a direct deposit from my paycheck every pay period. I'll just quit my gym membership since I'm buff enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'll just quit my gym membership since I'm buff enough as it is. I'm going with the "not eating" method myself. I figure I've acquired enough reserves over the past fifteen years to last a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I hope this true. Oh man! Which ever week it is it will not come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 So... is there a possibility that these 'mates will arrive one week earlier on the West Coast, or is that a DST thing? If so, I could have DC miniMates in my hands in a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I could have DC miniMates in my hands in a week! Maybe. If they ship like all other DCD product, they'll hit all stores at the same time. If they're shipping like past mates waves, the west coast will get them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I hope these do well. As far as I know there is only one shop in the state of Utah that plans on carrying them. That's the smallest distribution of any minimate product to date in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ok. After a bit of research (mostly at the DC forums), this: February 6, 2007 - DC Comics has released this teaser announcement, promising more details at the upcoming American International Toy Fair: DC COMICS ANNOUNCES NEW STRATEGY TO LICENSE AND DISTRIBUTE POP CULTURE CHARACTERS DC Comics announced plans today to license and distribute collectibles based on the world's greatest pop culture characters and stories under a new brand name, DC Unlimited. The first series of DC Unlimited products will be unveiled at New York's American International Toy Fair, and will be distributed to all retail outlets, including mass market and specialty channels. apparently means 'other properties' such as World of Warcraft. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 while picking up the Dark Tower comic yesterday I asked my LCS about which date they were coming. he was pretty sure it was the 21!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I decided to order a case. Then I can have several that-style Green Lantern bodies to put different heads on to go with my John Stewart version GL bodies. Does anybody know how many sets come in each box? And what the case breakdown is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 For the marvel sets it was 3 of each and 1 variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
