Could be a LEGO Batman one in the works too if my sources are correct....

Pulled Boyd and Donny per their request. Sorry about not updating with the people posting in this list - I was really busy at work yesterday and didn't have an oppotunity to update. I'll be getting that done now gang.

Works fine for me.

Ok - I got you, Xybot and Drknight001 fixed on the list. Anyone else I missed, please lmk. Like Ady said, keep in mind, this is just a rough list for interest - not a guarantee that you'll get a JS 'mate. Keep chanting Timbo's name and posting those pimpin' smileys!

Good idea to put this together though. Hopefully the MMMV boys on scene will be able to hook everyone up! Sorry 'bout that! There were so many threads I missed yours. I've added you to the list up top, based on the time of your post. If anyone else was missed, please let me know!!

I'm putting this together based on requests that have already been posted elsewhere and I'm sorting them by time and date posted as far as first, second, third, etc ranking. Continue to add names here and you'll go on the bottom of the list. (Ady, Danny, TBT, Shane - if this isn't how you think this should be handled, feel free to remove/alter.) Here's the list (below the list are the quoted times and posts to compile the list): Samwise Gamgee Ckerus Lantern Returns TITAN Drknight001 Shaolinwolf Xybot Nestle' JIrish780 True Believer Cyc Santos L Helper The Crippler Andimus Prime Jatta Pake Rickyroma Webhead Jcastick Xybot Antacost Rad JC Awesome Drgnbrn316 Mini Myte Mav-man HansomeDevil Logan Zombieboyfiend Hawkeyes Junk Ressurection Bob Mystery Man Mack NoSkill Icon Mr Exciteable NeoLego Infallible That's why you da man, Timbo! Just PM me when you have mine in hand!

I recently picked up another clear Frodo and I'm thinking of a custom. If you don't mind, what paint are you using on these for the body and still retain their translucent qualities? Is it just really thin acrylics?

You need another option on the poll. "All of the above"

I was hoping the armor was removable to reveal the Superfriends suit we saw from C3. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's the case.

add me to the list as well.

I agree on the Kubricks & Quees point. People buy them in droves, but - many of the more popular lines are either a) licensed figures (the scope of Kubricks licenses is HUGE and dwarfs any other line I've ever seen) OR artist related figures. I think the Design-a-mate competiton (and subsequent line) could have been great, but someone (AA/Play Along/Jakks restructuring) dropped the ball and IMO they missed their window of opportunity. This could have been a line similar to Quees, Kubricks, Dunny, Tofu or any other artist line out there. Think about it - they had Evan freakin' Dorkin on board. How much more credibility do you need for dorks to come out in droves for a line of toys? Anyway, my point is, I agree that 'mates could (and should be) dominating the category. They clearly, IMO, have the best product out there - because I like a little articulation in my minifigs. Unfortunately a reluctance to take a chance or possibly a lack of capitol/backing to undertake such a venture is really limiting the potential for the line and perhaps the future of 'mates in general.

Yep - they've got a set up right now of community workers (31 of them): http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=9247&am...mp;d=14&t=7 but for $43.00, I'll just buy a couple of sets.

LEGO doesn't do it very often. With the exception of really expensive 'people' sets, the only way to get LEGO people is to buy sets. It's too expensive for LEGO to just make the people and sell them alone. (Besides the fact that the driving force behind LEGO are the bricks - not the people in the sets.) AFIK, Playmobil doesn't do it either, but I'm not as familiar with their product. I see lots of sets on shelves at Target and TRU, but no 'people' only sets. I think generic figs of policemen/firemen/whatever could have been a possibility if C3 had really taken off, but in the market they were trying to enter, it just wasn't possible.

See, that's where we differ. I'm not. It's not worth it to me, to buy every Wolverine or Spidey (Cyclops, Captain America, etc) that's put out, just to get one or two new 'mates. Sentry, Echo, Fury and Cage won't have homes on my shelves as a result. With the exception of Fury, I'm ok with that. For Fury, I'll go to the secondary market and buy just that figure. If he's too expensive, I'll by just that 2 pack and that's all. Same goes for Kitty and Beast. Neither one is a big enough 'want' for me to justify buying figures I already own in some form (or 4 -5 forms as the case may be). DST and Marvel really have an uphill battle to get me to go back to the days where I purchased whole sets plus the chase as soon as I found them at retail. As far as DC, I agree - new molds, new characters (even the characters we've already gotten look to be improvements on past attempts) and different sizes are all excellent. As long as they continue to put out consistently different characters, I'll be onboard. However, when we get to our 5th or 6th version of Batman in day glo pink and orange camo, I'm dropping the line. (Or Turner versions of the characters vs Superfriends versions vs Miller versions, as DCD is probably going to be more apt to do...) I hope that doesn't happen.

Amazing. Downtime and virtually no one noticed it except the people involved. How do you do it Ady? (and, why can't AA do something similar? Unless of course, they aren't coming back with a forum....)

I actually suggested an even split between SDCC and Chicago, but LEGO is only going to be at SDCC, so really no question. I also suggested just send them to my house and I'll handle sales, but for some reason they turned that one down...

That was the plan when I was there in December. The box has changed a bit since then (the sound chip is new and the artwork is new). I'm working on finding out the details now (cost, what cover - if any, etc).

I just got the email on this. It's so frickin' COOL!! Batman LEGO Comic Con Exclusive news If anyone can get one for me, I'll happily pay you for it. PM me to work something out!!

$89.99 for the cave.

Snagged it. Thanks!

I'm in if you're taking names.

Dispute the charge with your credit card company. You should have some kind of buyer's protection since you paid thru them. They'll reverse the charges and notify Bad Apple/AuctionWiz. At that point they'll either contact you to arrange some kind of amicable arrangement to get your purchase out to you OR you'll get your $$ back.

At the very least, there are variants of Lightning, Mater, Ramone and Flo. Lightning, like I mentioned, has both clean and dirty versions. Mater and Flo have different eyes/expressions on their 'faces' and Ramone, like you mentioned has 3 color variants. I believe all of the cars have facial variants, but I haven't seen all of them yet, so I can't officially confirm that.

So you have all the variants then? Which Lightning are you missing? The clean or dirty version? Or is it both?

I would if it was longer. I like Dave School and would love to be able to support them more. Even if it was a 1/2 hour, that would be fine. At under 9 minutes though? Nah.
