hellpop Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I was browsing around Amazon and I saw these sets; I can't quite tell but I bet they would scale well with GI Joe Minimates: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/327359CB-F3FF-4A7D-85CB-199A0821240D?ingress=2&visitId=c6ed2041-5a65-44a3-8bcf-400056e8d833&ref_=ast_bln Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it looks to me like a mix of 12" scale and probably 3.75" scale figures and accessories. All of which will likely be too big for minimates. You never know though. I find some oversize stuff still looks pretty good. Playmobil horses for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were priced well enough that it won't hurt too bad if some stuff doesn't scale well. Interested to see how they work out for you.

Chigarillo Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 How do larger Lego sets scale with mates? My father (a huge Lego Stars Wars collector) showed me a leaked picture that Lego may finally be putting out a Lego X-Mansion in 2024... It looked a little small and i know sets can vary. The Lego Rivendell set actually scales really well with Minimates, but the Blackbird and Milano are too small. Is it usually a case of vehicles being too small but sets scaling decent enough?

Trekker 42 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Nah man usually nothing scales. The X-Mansion is likely to be directed specifically toward minifigs and therefore Minimates will look really damn huge. Rivendell was this big premium set that was definitively an exception. And even then you can’t really use the original LOTR line in there because of the 2.5inch scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 That's kind of what I figured. I just threw a couple Marvel mates in the Rivendell set and they didn't look off. Never seen the Avengers tower or Dr Strange sets out of the box and built though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 i use lego and mega blox w/ my minimates. its never perfect but its better than nothing and some of them i'm able to move or add parts to make it look decent. the megabloks castle greyskull or snake mountain work particularly well as does a lot of the halo stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 If you have the same colour bricks you can add one row of bricks per floor or whatever for a better fit. I have a building made from a bunch of Mega Bloks sets and I did exactly that. Obviously that won't work for every set. But it's a good option in some cases.

Chigarillo Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Lol. If the rumors of this set are true, I may buy two just to have the extra blocks... Wanted this set for a very long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
