Hmm... It appears that Daredevil is dead. Should we be worried?

Vig

Or maybe he's taking a nap...?

Don't take this the wrong way....I really like your Man Thing.

Would have been worse if you said "I really like your Thing, Man"

You're lucky you didn't do some scale mixing...

"I really like your 2.5 inch man thing!"

Okay, now I've lost all respect for ME...

Vig

Like MiniFiend UK, i've always used the Worlds Apart or Forbidden Planet in Liverpool, but i'm living in London at the moment so there's a lots of places to get Minimates from.

Check it out Pete's eBay Minimates

Lots of places? The only places I'm aware of are the FP on Shaftesbury Ave. and GOSH! opposite the british museum. Any places I'm not aware of?

Vig

You shouldn't double-post.

I have a Doom with two inside green arms, so you must be on your own.

Vig

There is always Ebay, there are some fairly good things on ATM. Another bet is Forbidden Planet online shopping, but I would not recommend them as some items I have ordered took about 3 months to arrive (if you have lots of patience

and a long temper go for them). I also hear that Winkerbean's LCS does shipping and has a good selection. You should PM him for details (FYI this is the same one that Dan get some of his stuff from; the one in Plymouth).

Vig

Oh my lord... it appears Abomination has been turned inside out. That'll be him before he has his make-up put on then...

Vig

doomsday/darkseid (both 2.5)

alan scott/grundy (2.5)

two face/mr freeze

martian manhunter/scarecrow

This would be quite similar to what I would want for a final wave, although I would choose;

Two-face/OYL Robin (Tim Drake)

GL Alan Scott/Solomon Grundy

Captain Cold/Mr. Freeze

Martian Manhunter/Black Canary

That should round out the Justice League and JSA more or less, give us an interestingly-themed villain pack and give Batman his sidekick and more villains. It's also a selection that could give us a few interesting accessories and new parts sculpts.

Now that's what I call a 'Cool' pack.

I'm sorry, someone had to say it.

Vig

Can't wait for these. My credit card could though

I think if we all shut up for a second I think we'll hear all our wallets screaming in agony.

I think

Vig

Ultron loved his parts of many colours; they were green and yellow and pink and brown and orange and purple and blue and mauve and blah and blah and blah...

If anybody hears of a kid singing at the top of his lungs on top of Primrose Hill, that'll be me...

Vig

Right. I'm going to Oxford (in ENGLAND, where the University is) on Friday the 22nd (tomorrow), and was wondering if there were any Comic shops there, particularly ones that stock minimates. Any addresses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Vigilante

Brilliant! In this picture I'd be interested to see him reach the turkey, since someone considerately put it in the middle of the table.

aka The Market Gardeners ...... Captain Carrot, Dick Turnip , The Green Pea, Harry Cobean & The Pulse ......just a bunch of has-beans who have now gone to ground

Punbelievable!

Don't...just don't.

I'm sorry, but you two have lost my respect forever...

Vig

My God. Now THAT is just taking the piss. I am going to New York and the week after I leave, the Con is on.

That would have been my best chance to get it without having to hunt ebay or enter competitions (not once have I won one).

Sigh.

off the top of my head... Spidey's got comic battle damage, melee black costume, and SM3 battle damage to Cap's comic battle damage [from the Classic Punisher 2-pack] and this one. i LOVE the fact that they did the bloody shield thing from the promo poster though!

Yeah, there was the one that came with Venom in wave 2, battle damage black costume from the 4-pack, the one from the new avengers wave, and the one from the SM3 wave.

Then there's the 2 battle damaged Caps.

No contest.

Vig

But it's an... AFX exclusive... and we Brits won't be able to get them...

Vig

*Goes off to cry somewhere*

p.s. I dont get a warm and fuzzy feeling that DCD doesn't have any new mates on show either!

I read this,then re-read it. I then re-wrote & re-read it to myself re-writing it without the double-negative. Once re-written I decided to post a reply. I read my proposed reply & promptly re-read it ,re-wrote it & decided that I was f**king wasting my time anyhow!. So Timbo...... do you or don't you even if they do or don't ?

Maybe

T.

Oohhh... My head...

Vig

I've just had an idea concerning the Hulk's bulk (accidental rhyme). You could get a normal Bruce Banner, but you could get a Hulk 'suit' to put on him, similar to the movie Iron Man armours. It could have lots of extra bulk on it and it would make the Hulk bigger.

Vig

Edit: Boo, Hiss. The spellcheck on the type box tried to say I spelt Armour wrong, and it's a British computer!

Looks like even the computers are against us, Brits.

On another note, I have just realised that it is gonna be hell for me and the other Brits to get these mates, thanks to DST's great choice.

No, I won't shut up.

Wooh that would be telekenesis for me. If anyone pissed me off I could go Sylar on their ass!

Not sure abut the brain eating though...

Vig

Got the Venom and Constipated Pete today.

They're good, but a few odd things.

First, Venom's big crotch piece...Why?

And also, the Constipated Peter is kind of pointless... I mean you can use him for like one scene and thats it...

But they're still good figures, and Pete does have my hair - which brings me just a bit closer to my Me-Mate!

Vigilante

Right. First I'll get my rant out of the way. I ordered some items off Forbidden Planet (UK). It was a couple of Ultimate Spidermans, Marvel Zombies Minimates, and the hardcover for The Ultimates 2. I ordered it early December, and had it confirmed to arrive before Christmas.

And It's stilll not here.

I called them early January to ask them what had happened to it, and they said it had been dispatched a couple of days ago, and that it should be here a few days later. Nothing. I call 10 days later to have a go at them, to find that it had not been dispatched when I called earlier, but was DEFINATELY going to be dispatched later that day, and would be mine within a week. Still nothing. I got it shipped to my Dads work so that it wouldn't go straight to the post office. They deliver it WITHOUT any names at all, so it gets sent back, so I'll probably have to go through this whole ordeal again.

And it doesn't help that whhen I ordered something off them on September 8th, it arrieved on December 17th.

I am furious at them for such bad service, and am not likely to ever order anything from them ever again.

But thats my rant, time for yours! Can you beat mine?

Vig

Thats great stuff, I'll pop over to my LCS soon.

Ah, if only we could get a scarlet spider/hobgoblin without ebay...the only way I can get one now is ebay, or when I go to NY in april (but I doubt they'll still have them then...)

Vig

Theres an FYE in NYC?! Thats the place that sells Scarlet Spider/Hobgoblin, right? Do any of you guys know if it will still be available in April because thats when I'm going.

Vig

Great, thanks. I can still e-mail or text him and he may not even get a chace but thanks anyway!

Vig

You don't have to give your right arm. Make a deal with Mephisto.....it's magic!!!

Nah. Dumb idea!

Vig

Will these be available in the UK? I really want this set.

Vig

I might need one!

Vig.
