Yeah, I hope they have some good minimates there... I'll probably spend a bit too much there as well as I hear the guests are charging for autographs! Also, what kind of minimates were they selling at the Memorabilia con? This is my first con so I don't know what mates they'll have; whether they're exclusives or not.

Patriot

Yeah, I do live in London. I'll tell you what it's like; maybe you'll be able to go next year.

Patriot

Edit: Seeing as I now know this is my hundredth post, I feel I should do something special...soo...parcheesi?

For all you brits out there, there is a film and comic convention in london; various film and tv stars and possibly some comic writers/artists. The website is http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/ Is anyone going?

Patriot

Or Minimates... COUGHCOUGH.

Patriot

Wow. In my local forbidden planet they have got some awesone tfs'. 5 Classics Jetfires (£19.99), 2 Classics Grimlocks(£13.99), 3 Movie Dreadwings (£12.99), and empty pegs for Movie Arcee (£12.99); sadly no 08 BB, but i'm still ecstatic that we've actually got these due to Hasbros treatment of us Brits. I picked up Jetfire, and am not regretting it one teensy little bit.

Patriot

I somehow need to raise £300 before H3 comes out.

Any ideas other than selling my limbs and organs, I may need those.

COUGHsellmeyourminimatesCOUGH. COUGHi'lltakethemoffyourhandsforareasonablepriceCOUGH. COUGHnotforthreehundredquidthoughCOUGH.

I must get my cough sorted out one of these days...

Patriot

I'll be waiting for ultimates 2. Volumes 1 and 2 to come out together in a hardback; does anyone know when this will happen? Patriot

You need to let her use a Minimate as a dummy; it'll be good for her to get into the addiction early. But then again, she'll be wanting a silver spidey to use as a dummy eventually...so maybe not a good idea...

Patriot

Oh, I will. My current disgruntledness is spurring from the way Hasbro treats the UK, especially with the transformers line. I went to my nearest TRU recently, and for THE FIRST TIME EVER, saw cybertron thundercracker. This, and i'm starting to wonder if the UK will EVER get the full movie line. Americans are waiting for like wave 3 or something, and us Brits are stuck here waiting for wave 1, all the while being disgruntled. Has anyone spotted some of the non-preview transformers movie figures at a reasonable price?

Patriot

Ok, so this thread is basically a place for Brits to talk about anything and everything, from Hasbro's 'unique' pricing for UK toys to the latest news in britain. Feel free to be disgruntled, just as long as you don't flame, and as Rad says, no bashing Americans, and please don't say anything offensive about america.

I met Barrowman the other day, on the set of a game show called 'the kids are all right'. He would just burst into song randomly...

Patriot

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. If it's in a stand alone store chances are either my local FP or LCS will have it, but i'll wait for seanus to reply. Thanks again; and have a good holiday!

Patriot

Not sure about Banner/Hulk but there a couple of wave 1s and 2s (including venom and black spidey!) on ebay uk, but I hear you're going on holiday, Dan, so you probs wont be able to bid.

Patriot

Ps thats the same time I started collecting too!

I found this in my LCS today for £15. I thought it was a fair price, but as I go on holiday in 2 days, I have no money to buy it right now. I really hpoe they are still there when I get home in 3 weeks.

What shop was this? Was it a stand-alone comic shop or something like a forbidden planet?

Patriot

Do you think that DCD will make DC Minimates box-sets? Seeing as Marvel has these, it is possible that we'll be seeing them eventually. Also, if they were to make them, what type of set would you like (4 packs with a hidden figure, 5-packs, 4-packs, 10-packs, etc.), and who would you want in them?

Patriot

I won't be getting any complete 2-packs. Instead, I will just buy Nightwing, Flash, and Clayface separately.

Patriot

Why does Hasbro put us brits through all this torture! The only movie figures I have seen are the previews, legends, V.C. helmet, F.A.B.s, a couple of real gears, and ratchet + blackout. In stores like forbidden planet they have a wider range but are selling tem for £2.99 over the RRP and I'm a cheapskate. Plus they should have been out over a month ago. Plus plus given the current exchange rate us brits should only be paying five quid for a deluxe and a tenner for the voyagers.

That's my rant over and done with, people.

Patriot

Why, the silver surfer, of course!

Patriot

I'll probably get Red Spiderman, New Goblin, Venom, and Green Goblin because I missed it the first time around (same with red spiderman), but New Goblins loose-fitting belt is gonna become a no-fitting belt after a few minutes in my possession.

Patriot

A man? HOPEFULLY the romance will be gone if that ever happens. But then again, I'm not one to judge!

I'm just a romantic at heart.

Aren't we all?

Patriot

Not sure if this has been said yet but in the paper that my dad was reading it said that Catherine Tate is going to be the doctors new sidekick, as Donna, the runaway bride; and that Martha Jones will be returning midway through the series.

Patriot

Danny, you will be missed. MMC was the first minimates website I ever visited and is still one of the best. I never buy a 2-pack without reading your reviews of the figures first. Sites like MMC don't grow on trees!

Patriot

I'm loving the alternate faces there Kiyohime! That's one hell of a talent you've got there! I can barely paint, let alone sculpt at all (my Warhammer collection speaks for itself; thats why I stopped collecting them as they looked like crap! On my behalf, of course...)

Patriot

Not sure if it has been reported yet but hasbro have revealed the spiderman ML wave. You can see them here:

I must say, Black spidey looks... worrying...

Patriot

How long do 'Mates take to reach UK generally? I really want this boxed set.

If any UKers see this could they drop me a PM saying where, and how much. Thanks in advance.

One for me too, please! I really can't do without these 'Mates.
