Vigilante

That looks like a perfect fit! Minimates don't seem to look out of place on this set either. Now if only we had a movie Batman to go with it

Well, because I am a poor old Brit, I am looking forward to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, out here on June 27th. Over 3 months later than America. And to think that Americans were saying that it wasn't fair that their Brawl was delayed by a few weeks, while we had no release date until about a month ago.

Bah.

Hey,

My Wii Code is 2752-6437-8180-3627

And my MKWii FC is 2105-8890-7716

Vig

Depends. What kind of games do you like? PS3 has more "hardcore" games and while the Wii has some, it has a wider range of types of games. I don't know much about the PS3 so someone else can make an argument for that, but the Wii is cheap, has a wider range of (cheaper) games, and it seems that you've been playing Nintendo systems a lot so you may feel more at home with the Wii.

It has some fantastic games such as:

Zack and Wiki: The Quest For Barbaros' Treasure

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Smash Bros Brawl

Okami

Wii Fit

Mario Kart Wii

And don't forget that you'll still be able to buy some gaming 'perfection' from the Virtual Console! The controls are a lot simpler as well, and although the Wii doesn't have nearly as good graphics, sales speak for themselves!

I also recommend when buying a Wii that when you want to get a second remote, buy Wii Play. I don't know about the prices in the US but in the UK, games range from £35 - £40 and remotes cost £30, and with Wii Play only costing £35, it's like buying a remote and getting a great collection of minigames for only a fiver!

It should be just as good a deal in the US.

Hope this convinced you to stick with Nintendo!

I got it a few weeks ago, and I'm not really using it to lose weight (I should try the opposite because I'm underweight) but for fun. The balance games are fun and I like how you don't need to be that good at it to unlock anything. I really like the

balance game, and

is hard! I only managed 30 seconds, but I guess I'm just too hyperactive! Good luck Neologo in losing some weight!

Vig

Thats a good point. I mean, if you give someone a picture of GR and a picture of IM, who are they more likely to recognise? They just lost a fair bit of sales there, doing a GR one and not an IM one. Maybe there'll be one for the DVD release?

Vig

Betty Ross looks like my English teacher.

My English teacher does not look like Liv Tyler.

'Nuff said.

Vig

Good god, LTD ED has to get this in. It is AMAZING. I only have Zombie IM and the one the came with Ghost Rider, so this will be great. Now I need to get myself an armory...

Vig

Darn out by one number!

Vig

For al you wondering how MKWii is, I have to say it is great. The controls are simple but have a lot of depth. There are a good selection of characters and the online is great fun. When you americans get it you really should buy it.

Vig.

Right, It's not a top 10 but it's a wave.

Red Hood + Hush

Superboy + Wonder Girl

Superboy-Prime (in his battle armour) + Alex Luthor

Firestorm + Modern Blue Beetle

My real name is Joe, so my screenname is not influenced by my real name in any way. My first screenname, Patriot, was chosen for two reasons - firstly, I had just fiished reading the first arc of Young Avengers and liked Patriot's character, and secondly, I spent so long moaning about the Americans getting everything for half the price us Brits do that I felt almost Patriotic, hence the UK flag that my avatar was.

My second and current screenname, Vigilante came from an old folk song called Vigilante Man (just so you know, I do not listen to folk, my Dad was listening to it). The pic came when I Google Imaged Vigilante.

So there you go!

Okay, I need to win that competition. I NEED to. Not only have I never won a luck - based competition, I also live in the UK so life will be hell to get them if it don't win that competition, but, most ironic at all, I am going to NYC later this week and am leaving a couple of days before NYCC starts

The story of my life.

Vig

I'd like Blogs. I have a fairly boring life so I may not bore you with the details but it would be interesting to read them.

I dont see the link though Is it because I am a sort of new member and it was removed before I arrived?

Vig

Congratulations mate!

Vig

Thanks guys, and oh, they did.

I got:

Peter Parker and Eddie Brock

New Goblin and Red Spider-man

Sandman and Black Spider-man

Nightwing and Starfire

and

Batman and Clayface

So that's all the mates I got, I did get various other things, but this is a minimate board so I decided to mention the mates.

Happy Birthday Donny B; hopefully yours was as good as mine!

Vig

Any pics?

Nah, sorry mate. I am terrible at uploading.

Vig

Thanks guys, and oh, they did.

Well I was trying to keep it to a 4 - pack.

Or you could have a big pack with all the metal men, and a Oolong Islang set with Doc Magnus, Egg Fu, Dr. Sivana, and T. O. Morrow.

That would be better actually lol.

Vig

Great thanks mate!

'Cos it'll be a cold day in hell before I give in to AFX's shipping lunacy.

Then again, give the current global warming crisis a cold day in the realm of The Horned One may not be that long...

Vig

I was really hoping this was going to be someone wanting to trade guns for minimates. Where's Michael Moore's phone number?

Your bloody monkey would be getting some plastic crack then. Didn't someone shoot that damn primate?

1945 Berlin .......''Mein gott und himmel, Speer ! You mean that the whole bunker is made from verdamt LEGO !''

''Jawohl mein fuhrer,we bought it off ebay''

'' D-day ?''

Somehow a Lego recreation of WW11 ,to me at least ,seems hilarious enough to rival 'Dad's Army' & 'Alo Alo'.

Oh my God! Dad's Army Minimates.......I am in need :biggrin:

"You stupid boy..." - that would never happen :biggrin:

Vig

Hmm... perhaps they could attach the extra spider arms via a harness attached in a similay way to Angel's?

Vig

I think I'll make an order with LE (lots and lots of DC mates; I'm very behind with them) and I'll order a WAS then. Any idea how long they'll have them?

Vig

Although there is an minuscule chance of this happening due to DC's "death", here are some box set ideas I have had.

52 Box Set 1: Space and Time heroes.

Animal Man (with goggle hairpeice and normal, with a leather jacket)

Adam strange (with some of his flight gear)

Supernova (with removable mask, no accesories needed)

Rip Hunter (with Red Tornado head?)

52 Box Set 2: Black Marvel Family

Black Adam (with cape, of course)

Isis

Osiris

Sobek The Talking Crocodile (with vest, kind but wary expression, convincing bulk, and is standing on hind legs)

52 Box Set 3: The Four Horsemen

Death

War (biggest scale possible)

Pestilence

Famine (hunched on all fours, blood on mouth, no vest)

52 Box Set 4: The Metal Men

Doc Magnus

Mercury (possibly with Mr. Fantastic style stretch limbs?)

Lead

Tin

(Yes, I know that the metal men should be absolutely teeny to be in scale with 52, but what the heck.)

That is all.

Vig

So... it'll be £37 for a 2-Pack?

Ouch.

That is all...

Nice. I'll look out for them.
