TBT! Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Lol also slated for September release.... so nothing for a year then everything in one month?? I wouldn't be surprised if these get pushed back til next year. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I actually hope so because only thing worse than no mates out there is a glut that retailers can't shift and make them avoid future releases.... like all the local retailers here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm wondering what they mean by "Set of 4"? Are they including the vehicles in this? Aren't Speed and X the only figures that were listed in Previews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm wondering what they mean by "Set of 4"? Are they including the vehicles in this? Aren't Speed and X the only figures that were listed in Previews? I'm guessing the set of four are ... *Speed Racer *Racer X *Trixie *Captain Terror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 $16.99 seems like an awfully low price for 4 minimates with vehicles. Maybe they're counting each piece (the figure and the vehicle) separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That's what I'm wondering. I'm pretty sure that the Previews listing said that only Speed and X were coming out now... I could be wrong, though. I'm definately too lazy to try to find the last issue to check my facts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujis Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 I am thinking of ordering a case of these so if anybody wants a set let me know. I already preordered a set but I might need another to try customizing these vehicles. Batmobile anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'd assumed the plans were for 1*4 pack of minimates, all four figures, 2* Car and driver sets... A bit like they are doing with the BSG ships... I guess in time we will see.... T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 let me know TBT. I heard they were tentative for July still don't think they'll be released till much later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 I am unfamiliar with preordering but is the product not arriving as advertised fairly common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well it really depends on the product and how they are solicited. Some items do come on the date as advertised. Others are sometimes available to see how much interested and wait till they get x number of orderes before they are produced and get released.

Shanester Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I am waiting to see some product at SDCC before I order. I am trying to stick with a few select lines and this should be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 same as shane, Although I 'm not a speed racer fan, it's aminimate addiction thing but these are the closest to 'hmmm should/shouldn't I' that I have come with minimates. I know I'll buy them but how many depends on what I see T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Although I 'm not a speed racer fan, it's aminimate addiction thing but these are the closest to 'hmmm should/shouldn't I' that I have come with minimates. I know I'll buy them but how many depends on what I see I laugh at your silly pretensions that you might even consider not buying minimates. Hah! I'm all over this line -- I think the styling is great for block figures (Marvel has been getting too detailed of late). AND I want to send a message that vehicles are a Good Thing (and other accessories). I know, it makes the purchase point higher, etcetera, but it's nice to have some blocky, scaled objects for our little plastic fixes to play with.

That's why I'm so excited for this and the BSG line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Don't order these from BBTS. AFX has the set available for preorder for $13.99 and you can help keep Ady out of the poor house. If you want 'em click one of the AFX banners hovering near the top... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
