Tigertail Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm hoping after this weekend the price will lower on the Red, but if people keep on buying at REDONKULOUS prices I'm afraid they are going to stay up. Does anyone remember if the Gator Battle Beast went for this high in price when it was 1st released ? I don't remember. Cause this is crazy. But I can understand somewhat that some people would have spent more money just attending and don't mind paying high prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awhhhh, you ARE new!! :biggrin: The Gold Alligator came out two years ago, and STILL goes for $40 +. Best bet is to go to a con (they always have extras in the bag, that's how i got my Red Dress Six.) and bring cookies, then talk to Chuck and give him said cookies. Price won't be going down much.

Ninja Mate Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Prices were the same for all the other battle beasts then they averaged out to about $30-$40. The silver still goes for lots higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have tin cans, if that matters. My aunt raises goats. Lots of babies and friends to play with whenever he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golds might be going for that right now, but it hasn't been consistent. A few months after it was released it was going for around $20-25, and one of the Silvers just sold for $30 this January. Cheaper ones do pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) This guy has two clear red Vorin's starting at $19.99 but I'm calling dibs on one! :biggrin: And here's two more listed with the comic as well. Not bad BIN prices - $60 & $65.01 (not sure why the different prices...) Edited April 15, 2012 by Fujis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigertail Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I see now the red is on eBay $55 BIN, so at least it's Going lower a bit. Way better than $125 or $75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 I've never been sure whether it's OK to link other forums' stuff but here is an excellent review of the Rams on Littlerubberguys...... http://www.littlerubberguys.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74927&st=110 I feel that the Lilrubberguys are beginning to warm to the Minimate concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Here's a quick picture showing the holes in the hooves are capable of fitting onto a Lego brick. If anything, the holes might be slightly too big as the Beast just sort of rests on the Lego brick. It still works, IMO. To a mod, any chance someone can change the subtitle on this thread to remove the "little rubbing guys" line? With the effort Zach was exerting to make sure people knew these aren't associated with the old line, we should probably do the same.

WarOnTheShore Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've never been sure whether it's OK to link other forums' stuff but here is an excellent review of the Rams on Littlerubberguys...... http://www.littlerubberguys.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74927&st=110 I feel that the Lilrubberguys are beginning to warm to the Minimate concept There will be plenty of guys at LRG that will always hate Mate Beasts. I can't blame them, necessarily. They've been collecting the same style figure for 25 years and it's all they know of the line. It's not a Marvel entity, for instance, where we've see a thousand toy variations on Wolverine. With the old Battle Beasts Line, there are no variances. There is an absolute beginning and end to the line. So I'm not surprised when people don't like them. Personally, I can't wait to see what DST does with them. I've been collecting Minimates for year's, and it's been wonderful to see them evolve. They're not just pure blocks anymore, but I think that's the perception most have.

DSTZach Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm thinking about opening this....is this a wise decision? It's worth opening, I think. Unless you need money real bad. Very nice of your local retailer to offer his to you. Hope he didn't charge you a mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not be selling it, but I do like my figures to be in their Sunday best. However, since advice came from Zach "The Mack"(???) himself, I will be playing with this immediately. Also, did these cost anything? Or were they hand outs? Going to feel bad if he actually bought me something there.

Everyone who attended the Diamond Comics Retailer Summit, which overlapped with C2E2, received a coupon book, and we manufactured a more plain version of the giveaway especially for those retailers, so they could see what we were working on.

Oh wow, thanks for the info man. Well, I did just repair the contacts on the electronics for a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Dragon Zord so he could sell it for $60 more than if it were broken, which is just about what it's going for on ebay...That's right, I'm a toy technician...... :biggrin: .....I need a real job.

karamazov80 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not the Minimates, but I just saw these on BBTS, which seem to be more strongly inspired by the original toys: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11446&mode=retail Apparently they're pieces you can use in some role playing game. Kind of weird, and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Zach, can you say anything about the larger sized BBs that were shown a few years ago by DST and if those are still being considered (or do I need to ask DST)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
