  1. About Ponyo... The Disney website has a coupon to get $10 off the Bluray (which also comes with the DVD) and some places had a deal when you bought Ponyo you got X off Totoro, Kiki's or Castle in the sky (which is the first of many rereleases).

  2. I get the weekly emails from Bad Apple Comics for two reasons,

    1, I visit Bad Apple Comics when I go to Florida

    and 2, In hopes thye will have something on their exclusive mates.

    Looks like it paid off. Here is what the email read:

    Charity benefit auction for a set of THREE exclusive

    American Red Cross MiniMates! Only $19.99 with FREE US shipping!

    Proceeds go to directly benefit the American Red Cross.

    Figures are 2 inches tall, feature the American Red Cross logo on their chest, are fully poseable with 14 points of articulation and come individually bagged. They are compatable with most existing 2" MiniMates figure series (Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, Terminator, etc) so you can swap parts and customize them however you like! These are official MiniMates by Art Asylum.

    Best of all, this is all for a really good cause!

    "You can help the victims of countless crises, like the recent earthquake in Haiti, around the world each year by supporting the American Red Cross, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need around the world."

    And here is the ebay link for the auction:

    Also, I can forward you the email, just PM me your email.

  3. Today was a slow day and I was looking through the system at work and what do I find? Looks like after months of no news in any form, the first wave of TRU (now exclusive) Mighty Muggs will be Iron Man 2. They have also increased the case size from four to six figures.

    Just wanted to share that Mighty Muggs are not dead yet.

  4. Neat. I used to get an old Dinosaur magazine when I was little and it had a T-Rex shaped 3D Glasses set you would use for each issue. Each issue also came with a piece to build a Skeleton and then green skin pieces to put over top.

    Never thought about that until you mentioned the Lego magazine.

  5. I don't want to come off as rude, but why even get it if you are just going to "throw it away"?

    I can understand reading it and then discarding it. You make it sound as if it is not even worth your time. Like you are too good for the Lego magazine. Almost in a way to try and make darkredshdow feel ashamed for enjoying it.

    Enough with the Captain Negator around here.

    Anyway, is it the 'focus' 3D or the old-school Green(or blue) and Red 3D?

  6. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!FINALLY!I DONT NEED TOO ORDER MINIMATES ONLINE!the timing is also great!i get to get iron man 2 sets!do you know if they are going to come to ontario's toy's r us's?if so do you know if they are going to woodbridge{in ontario?}that's my closest toy's r us.

    Don't worry, as new news comes available to me, I will let you all know.

  7. So, I finally have some good news :)

    Looks like TRU Canada finally has some more minimates on order (last we saw was BSG three years ago). Though they are not the exclusive series you see in the states (as TRU Canada does not order directly from DST, yet) at least we will see some more which is hopefully a baby step in the right direction.

    These are the sets we will see:

    Minimates Spider Man Box Set

    Minimates Ironman 2

    These will hopefully see a late March / early April release. Unless there are shipping delays or TRU Canada decides to cancel the orders.

    As always, I will keep you all posted on such updates I can assist with.

  8. If I'm not mistaken, Pickle, a couple of those 2003 Mattel Batman figures (like Joker, Robin and Nightwing) were repainted for the short-lived DC Superheroes line that unofficially started DCUC...

    That is my understanding as well. I ordered one super cheap (croc attack Batman) so I guess I will see how well he stands up to the colorful new gods when he shows up. Thanks Handsome.

  9. Just a question for the long time DC toy collectors.

    How does the 2003 Mattel Batman line compare to the DCU line? What I would like to know is how do the theme Batman's compare to the DCU Batman's in quality. I like the look of the Croc Armor Batman, but I want him to look nice beside the other DCU figures.

  10. Just started buying these the other day. I always liked them, but for some reason never bought them. Once I saw that a Darkseid BAF was coming out, I had to have him. So far I have purchased Big Barda from work, Both Parademons from the local comic shop, Firestorm from Target in the states and I was lucky enough to find a Power Girl at the Wal-mart on my little trip yesterday. I have a SuperHeros line Dark Darkseid coming in the mail. Mr. Miracle, Dr. Impossible and the Lantern 2-pack on hold at work and I cannot wait to order the Matty Collector 'Color of Fear' Romat-Ru and Karu-Sil 2-pack Monday (and of course a box of stands). I was surprised by how nice these figures are out of the package, but what would I expect from the four horsemen.

    Anyway, to why I am posting, the plan for the trip down to the states (besides TRU BSG) was to find a WalMart Forager figure. With this line I am not purchasing any figures online (with the exceptions of Matty Collector and the SuperHeroes Darkseid's), as I am tired of spending more then I have on toys, not a good idea. But I really want that Forager (MIP), so if anyone on here can give me a hand, I would appreciate it.

    Also, I would totally buy Superman's spaceship for this line :P

  11. Added you MinnesotaIceman. Also sent you an other request minivenom, guess I messed up the first time.

    Donny B, I can't seem to find you on facebook.

    I will be Kevin Thomas on facebook. I will be in a white hood shirt. Kneeling beside a lil kid in a green shirt.

    Also, please send me the Red Maple Trees as a gift anyone who has me, being Canadian I am partial to these trees.
