MiniFiend UK Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Always glad to hear someone having some good luck on finding figures. Although it sad to hear of downsizing. As for trading in CD's you can always forget to delete the MP3's you made of the CD's for use on your Ipod etc. when you part with them People can be forgetful sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 That is an incredibly screamin sweet deal! I recently traded here on the forum to get mine and it felt so good to get that elusive minimate for my collection and I can only imagine how awesome it felt to get yours for such a steal.

karamazov80 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 He is an essential JLA member, and a great figure. A fellow member helped me out with getting mine, too, and now he (with alien head) is definitely up there with my favorite Minimates. Congrats on the find!

bilbofett Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Nice. Congrats to you. It sucks that people getting into minimates late missed out on some great C3 stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel72 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I am very happy for you. I actually lost out twice with MM. I bought the javelin for a decent price of Ebay only to find no minimates included. The small print stated that they weren't included but I was so happy to see "Buy It Now" for $25 that I didn't read the whole auction. When I finally got one for a decent price, he did not come with the boot tops. Oh well, I still have Jonn so I guess I'm okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I can't find him for under $60 or $100 for the set...can't find Man-Bat for under $40, either... Finally got The Riddler for about $8!! It's not the same, I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got The Riddler for about $8!! It's not the same, I know... You may want to watch for "factory rejects" on eBay sold from sellers like "kelenm" (sp?). One guy out of Florida and a couple out of China/Hong Kong sell those from time to time, where you can get Man-Bat, Riddler, Manhunter, Flash, Kingpin with Reed Richards head and white, "shocked" hair, Jean Gray w/Logan hair, etc. for a half-way decent price, though you might get 2 left arms or something, and some paint issues.

hellpop Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Four bucks?! Gah! Good for you, man. Clearly your LCBS didn't know what he had (and where might he be, BTW...?). I love getting finds like that. He's probably the last "rare" figure that I still need. I'm not in that big a hurry, because I don't really think he's all that great, though he does look much better if you take the headpiece off.

Tad Ghostal Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Congrats on the great score, Lou! It's days like that what keep this hobby fun! (Lord knows there's enough aspects to it that make you wonder why collect at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Congrats!!!! This is the one minimate grail I've been looking for forever, but can never get for a reasonable price! Maybe one day.................? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shup Dude Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Psh... my comic store never has Minimates or anything I want, really. Plus it's miles away. The last time I was there, they had one Minimate box left. The Civil War one. I was gonna get it, but they overpriced it way too much. It was $60. I asked why it was that much, and the guy said, "I don't know, I don't make the prices." I left, and... that's about it. Never went back, because it seems like they overprice too many things.

maxcarnage Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I hate it when stores do that $hit. I mean i can understand charging a little more for con exclusives. but $60! really! you could get a few waves for that price. unreal.

Shup Dude Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I know, right? I thought it made to sense. And it was ridiculous. Also, I went back to that comic store yesterday, and they said some kid bought it along with over $200 worth of comics. Wow. But hey, they got a new shipment of Minimate 2-packs for 7 bucks each, and some packs are 8-9 bucks. Ugh... I just wish we went there before I already bought those sets. >:{ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I finally got a Martian Manhunter today!!! I snagged it off of e-bay for $33 bucks (came with the Flash & Javelin set unopened) so not too bad. I also got the Riddler & his plane unopened along with it also. Now I am down to looking for the set with Man-Bat and the set with the small Batmobile with Robin. Anyways had to share my rant about getting my grail!!!

Nice find, considering that set has gone for $200+ in the past. Shoot me a PM I might be able to set you up with that Cycle/ Manbat set. T.

MisterPL Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I sent this guy in England some 'mates as a trade for a Martian Manhunter. Still waiting for the package. Going on two years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shup Dude Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Ouch. That sucks MisterPL. What 'mates did you 'trade' him? Edited December 22, 2008 by Shup Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The Suncoast Cylons. Was really looking forward to adding J'onn to my collection. Oh well. Maybe it'll show up later. You know, like those letters sent from soldiers in WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtd20_2000 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I haven't been back to the DC page in awhile or I would have hit you up TBT!. I actually just won a Cycle/Man-bat set a few days ago on ebay so hopefully everything will go well with that purchase. Thanks for the offer though!

mtd20_2000 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I got the Bat Cycle with Man-Bat & Street Justice Batman today! Slowly but surely I am getting the last few c3 minimates I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Congrats on your find! Looks like the wave 2 C3 sets really are near-impossible to get a hold of these days. But wow, you won that set on Christmas and got them only now? *sigh* Couriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
