Mirymate Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Why call it an October set if you aren't goingto actually release it in October?!?!? The love / hate relationship with TRU continues, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) This is probably a result of globalisation ......Germany for example holds the Oktoberfest (Beer Festival) in September . The Germans however are a tad forgetful ......... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15503097 This box-set looks more & more like something I could get quite excited about.

Mystery Man Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) It's called the "Marvel Minimates October Fan Poll Action Figure Box Set" on the TRU.com website. Wouldn't it be cool if there were one of those going up EVERY MONTH?!! "April showers bring Kang flowers"!

Nessex Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 This is just peachy! A Box set with FOUR new freaking characters in it. Pardon my asterisks, but i am so f***ing stoked to be seeing a box-set with all new characters. Can't wait to see them in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (and still no Hearlds... if there proves out to only be a 1/2 hour window on these yesterday morning for online purchases, pissed is not going to begin to cover it... but that's a rant for another thread.) And this would be that thread. But I'll spare the rant until it becomes neccessary. I expect that more will become available soonish... but I could be wrong.

Mirymate Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 "Braxton Hicks" indeed. And just like when my wife would have them during her pregnacies, these leave me briefly excited but ultimately prove to be nothing. At least these don't require a trip to the hospital, complete with long waits, then ultimately sent home after a few hours disappointed. Still cranky though.

karamazov80 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 A co-worker of mine said that when she was going into labor, her husband said, "oh don't worry honey, it's just a Braxton Hicks contraction." She said not to say that to a pregnant woman. Just FYI guys. Apparently it's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 For the record it was 'my better half' who came up with the term "Braxton Hicks" when I was discussing Minimates/TRU.com with her last night .....I had never heard of it ,why would I? BTW ......What can you say to a pregnant woman that they don't think is bad ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Nothing. But that's not to say you should say nothing because that's probably worse than anything, so you've got to say something. In the words of the great philosopher, "Keep your distance but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance... I don't know... fly casual."

"No honey, the muumuu does not make you look fat" "You are even more beautiful now than on our wedding day" and the one that will defuse the rollercoaster of emotions she's dealing with: "Have a seat and I'll rub your feet and get you something to eat" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I also can't wait to get a box set with all new characters in it! My struggle lately has been that it is difficult to buy a box set that is 1/2 or 3/4 different versions of already made characters so I am glad to get a set that I will have no hesitations to buy it!

Gillbob316 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm gonna nitpick the fact that Galactus isn't technically a new character... I mean... I've had a minimate Galactus sitting on my shelf for a few years now... he just doesn't move much, and he's alot bigger and harder than most minimates.

Mirymate Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I never found your user name more appropriate than right now, YB. See how easy it fits into this sentence...

youbastards Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Pix!!! Box - Front Box - Back Nova [Her flame hair has a little peg that can be removed from the hair, so she can be displayed either standing or in flight!] Terrax Morg [The surprise of the set!] Galactus! Overall, I am very pleased with this set, and plan on picking up extras when they become available. They are all great 'mates. The Silver Surfer is really cool, but has trouble staying in place on Galactus. They did a great job representing the Minimate form in the tiny Surfer, it is really easy to tell that it is supposed to be a Minimate. Also, Nova without her hair is going to make a really easy Madame Masque QC face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Awesome pics yb. If only my computer hadn't crashed I'm sure I'd have found these when you did. Congrats to you, now I'm off to go beat my son again for crashing the computer. And does the surfer have any markings on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks a heap for the helpful pics! You read my mind about the Madame Masque QC! I'm thrilled that they didn't go with the slip-on-mask for her. Does Galactus have any kind of tampo underneath his chest cover? Whee, these look fantastic!

karamazov80 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks for the pics! Terrax looks like a real winner to me. I think I'll get extras just to have a couple of those awesome mini Silver Surfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Ho-Ly... Those look absolutely AWESOME!! Can Not Wait to get me a set of them! But.. you need swap those axes, YB. Terrax gets the weird half cresent techno one. Morg gets the double sided battle axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
