I would have loved to have seen Taz included with Excalibur but I digress...

Crippler Jones over here...

Kind of a weird choice for a Excalibur, but I suppose this means I have to buy three sets so I can make Tazz, JR and Tony Schiovane.

As a massive GI Joe fan... I have absolutely no interest in these. Like... my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Everyone here asking for troop builders, Flint, Lady Jaye, Firefly, Zartan, Dreadnoks, Serpentor, Gung Ho, Tunnel Rat, et all.

I saw no one asking for the Adventure Team.

I hope this sells well so the GI Joe line continues but... I'm not convinced this won't be a misstep causing the end of it, instead.

Oh man, now you've got me worried about the future of this license. GI Joe Minimates is a dream line for me and it feels like its just barely gotten started but that statement makes me feel like maybe these aren't doing as well as we hope they are for you guys. I hope I'm reading it wrong but I guess past history with Minimate licenses I loved the most dying prematurely (DC, MAX, Star Trek, Rocky) have me concerned. I really hope there is more life left in this line because I still have some pretty significant needs to feel even slightly fulfilled...especially some army builder Cobras.

Army Builders. Make a set with Trooper, Viper, Crimson Guard and BAT and it will sell like crazy to Joe fans.

I would THINK that Amazon would receive their shipment when the other retailers did. UNLESS they get everything they order in their own shipping container, in which case it could be a little later, if they're waiting to fill it. Honestly not sure. Sorry for the delay, guys. 

Appreciate the reply. Looks like I'm stuck atm, then. Talked to my LCS who is just ordering it from y'all direct.

Hey @DSTZach any chance you know when Amazon should get their shipment?

I'd really like my set..but I pre-ordered from Amazon. Clearly, Luke's is the way to go..

Oy, I will be bummed if Typhoid Mary dropped. 

Same. No Mary, no buy. I'll pick up Echo from a second hand seller some time, as I already made a decent one, custom. If Mary and Echo are that, it gets enough of my attention to buy the set and hold the rest for potential customs.

Stalker, Guh Ho, Flint, Lady Jaye

THE JADA STUFF IS TOO SMALL.

They are designed for figurines about chest height of a minimate.

If you want vehicles, look into Sigma Six adventure sets.

Noooooooooooooooooo, please continue carded figs, they are so good!

Agreed. The presentation is perfect.

Army builders have been discussed, but Series 3 and 4 are all uniques, and real crowd-pleasers, we're just working on release format. May shift from carded to something else. We'll see. 

Do one set; Crimson Guard, Trooper, Viper, and BAT. Joe fans will buy multiple of that set to make a legion. I alone would buy six.

I have not heard talk of vehicles, but that would be awesome. 

Ditto army builders, but if the next few sets do well I don't see why they would not try it. 

Army builders are a need.

That said, any update on more sets? I NEED MORE JOE MINIMATES!!!!

Nah, Shredder, Kraang, Rocksteady and Bebop with a single Foot soldier to capitalize on troops building.

I have one, DM me your address. 

Any chance you have a series 1 Scarlett torso also free? Mine had a painting missprint and the yellow is on her neck and sternum.

Yes! Thank you, Zach. This is one of the lines I’ve really been waiting for. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

 

**ouch! Bucks are limited to 2000 pieces??** 

Yikes. Very limited.

Not sure how this scale would work, but seems close?

I bought the Stinger to try. It's too small. I recommend the Sigma 6 adventure sets.

Second set came in; still not perfect, but much better, so gonna have to open up the first one. Super happy to get these on my shelf.

I am having trouble opening these. They have been sitting here for days. I just can't bring myself to open them up because they look so amazing on the single cards. This is the first Minimate set that I did not open right away. I think I might have to buy an extra set so I can feel good about opening these tonight. I would actually be ok with buying these as single packs for $10 or so each.

I ordered two sets, one got here today, next set is due on Sunday.

Glad I did. This set is banged up a bit. If the next set is better, keeping that one in package and opening this set.

Getting my Series 1 tmw. Super stoked!!!

Waiting for them to show up on Amazon like- ;~;

I am not sure, to be honest. Backpacks aren't normally something we do, unless it's Glen or Peter Parker. And without holes in their backs, they'd need to use straps, which the characters didn't always have, you know?

But never say never! I'm just happy they come with character-accurate guns! 

SAME.

I didn't even know who Ivan was, before this thread, but yeah, the Database has really been quiet. It took a while for the last update, though, with the spy wave.

Gonna guess...

Flint, Lady Jaye, Gung Ho, Shipwreck.

Then-

Firefly, Tomax or Xamot with pieces to make the other, ad a Viper and a trooper.

My guess is Zartan with Torch,Buzzer and Ripper as a set,someday

Also got mine! Thank you!
