No price drop at the FYE near me. I always check it out on my weekly toy hunts so, hopefully, I'll see some Minimates there on the cheap side soon.

Fantastic! I cannot wait to get my hands on this set! Thanks for the pics, Shane!

Awesome! Can't wait for the contest/giveaway!

Hello, Long time reader, first time questioner. Is there any chance Commander Riker might come with a trombone accessory when he comes around in the Star Trek line?

I did actually try the other Jack Bauer head. I didn't think it looked quite right. I think it was the eyebrows. It's all about preference, I guess. I'm just glad I actually came up with something relatively inspiring.

It's from Tank Top Rocky. The best part of the John McClane is, aside from the feet, it's all from the Rocky 2-pack and the first 24 2-pack. I bought both packs at the same time and it just kinda hit me.

There's a free 7 page prologue here that reveals the identity of another Skrull.

Mark "Shaky Hands" McGuinty.

Oh absolutely! Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp, Tom Berenger? Endless possibilities. It's probably the closest we'll ever get to a SM movie "Green Goblin"...of course it will be without the costume. Still, a cool set even if you don't care for the film. Personally, I know I'll be working on some Major Jeague Minimates!

I'm still getting the time-shift thing.

Yeah, lighting is very important. An adjustable exposure setting helps a lot, too.

My first Minimate was the FCBD blank so, $0.00.

Has anybody tried the Elite Force figures from TRU or the Forces of Valor figures from Target? They might get expensive eventually but some of them come with a lot of nice looking accessories that appear to be just about Minimate compatible.

I remember being dragged to a DMX show by a girl I was dating a few years ago. It was free at some kind of festival so I didn't complain too loudly. He was 20 minutes into his performance, started crying half way through a song and just left. I couldn't relate to him before that and couldn't respect him after. It wasn't the crying that bugged me, it was the leaving that did it.

With LEGO!

Well, they always get a nice amount of attention from ToyFare magazine. Over here, for a niche-market collectible, that's pretty significant.

Dude, it's some random people you've never met with no real credentials making a "best of" list. Why even pay attention to something like that?

I gotta say, up till now, I've been more excited about BSG when those come out but ever since the Trek series 4 and 5 announcements, I have a feeling that'll change when those come out.

I'm in the same boat. I've been waiting on this one so I can ship my current Pile of Loot. Stuckakid had 'em and sold out and I think AFX just got 'em in so, hopefully, BBTS will have them any day now.

Also, the add in the new Previes reads, "All armored figures have removable armor pieces revealing another figure underneath!" That makes me very curious about the possibility of a tiny Jeff Bridges hiding under the Iron Monger armor that we haven't seen yet.

I'm very disppointed with this news. The promo pictures of the series 3 sets were what made me hunt down all the previous releases. Crap! I really wanted the laptop.

Everything is BSG Gina except the hair. That's from the SM3 Mary Jane.

Do you have a macro mode on your camera? If so, make sure that it's on, turn off the flash and pull your zoom all the way back. If not, try moving the camera a bit farther back and then zoom in. Remember, you can always resize and crop the picture.

No, DiDio is the Editorial Director (or something that sounds just like that). This means that DiDio is in charge of the crative talent on the comics side wheras Brewer is in charge of DC Direct. They're pretty much at the same level for each of their respective divisions within DC Comics.
