Lobsterman Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Just stopped by Target and found two packs of Mates from the GSXM box set: Colossus and Nightcrawler Cyclops and Storm As well as Dark Phoenix and Prof X Didn't see any of the Wolvie/Iceman pairing, and I assume them putting Thunderbird back out there is doubtful. Looks like this is our "X3" wave... Anyway, a good chance to catch up on some rarer Mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Sweet molasses! Im stoked that we are getting these hard to find minis now... I can finally do some customs that Ive been longing to make, without spending a freaking fortune. but at the same time, Im a little bummed that I broke down and spent as much as I did to get the GSXM boxed set, when I could have waited a year or so and gotten them for so much cheaper. Except for Thunderbird. but alas. I am so totally heading off to Target tomorrow to score a buttload of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_CRIPPLER Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 My local Target still has the FF minimates. I want new ones too, even if they really aren't new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx78jj Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Holy son of a gun. I guess I'm gonna be going to Target for some minis. Kool baby. I always wanted another Nightcrawler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 This is great news! Only good things can come from having "rolling stock" at Target. Can one of the American members (possibly someone in the PACNW) pick me up one of each of the new Target 2-packs? Cappy? Donster? I'm Johnny-on-the-spot with the PayPal.

Resurrection Bob Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Somebody on TNI says he found the same sets, plus one with Ben Reilly and Sandman. Now, I'm happy (thrilled, really) about most of these, but two weeks ago I got the Sandman and Silver Sable set at a comic shop. If I'd have waited, I could have had Ben instead of Sable. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find an excuse to get it anyway and then find something to do with an extra Sandman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Superb, can one of you do the honors? I guess aside from Thunderbird fans, the GSXM set has just lost its worth for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The Wolvie/Iceman set still hasn't hit here yet. Heck, I still haven't seen the Fantastic Four sets or the rereleased Blade/Punisher, or the Wolvie/Spidey. My Target sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have always wanted extras of Colossus and Nightcrawler for customs. This is great news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Prof X with or without Cerebro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Good question. I honestly didn't notice. I have about three spare Profs already, so I just grabbed Colossus/Crawler and Storm/Cyke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xybot Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 WOW! That is awesome news ... I wonder if they will have the C3 feet? Now I can make that Ultimate Colossus custom ... WOOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opticon Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 argh, god I just spent like £18 on the boxset just for the Collossus and Nightcrawler o well, thats awesome news anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Colossus and Nightcrawler! Now that's a 2-pack worth selling, worth buying multiples of... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychopanda Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Wow, are these $6.95? If they are $5.95, then the figures would end up costing less than the original set! It's sorta cool, but I'm really tired of being burned by paying collector prices. I haven't even bought the Spider-Woman I'm missing, because, yeah, it looks like she will probably be re-released at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sorta cool, but I'm really tired of being burned by paying collector prices. I haven't even bought the Spider-Woman I'm missing, because, yeah, it looks like she will probably be re-released at some point. If you mean Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, then look no further than the New Avengers 4-pack, though she has a different facial expression, it seems. If you mean Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman/Arachne, then no, she'll never be rereleased due to her variant status. Odd choice limiting yourself from an entire character, especially since she's more prominent in Civil War than Jess. Anyone checking to see if the rereleased X-Men feature the latest in Minimate tech, from C3 feet to <> holes, etc? Also, anyone know if they have the same facial expressions, paint apps, etc? The original purchase won't look so bad if we discover some variations in the rereleased figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloneme Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Sweet!!!! I need some nightcrawlers! I'll be buying multiples of these for sure. This news pleases the Church of minimateology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 my local Target had nothing new the punks. I got my hopes all rilled up, only to be spat upon by the marketing giant okay, not really. But I was dissapointed. Oh well. They will become available to me at some point, in some way. Hooray for eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
