aside from the behind the scenes drama and the interacial storm family and the stories of doom, I will say the neg zone looks awesome, super missed opp for annihilus, and even though it may look cool in some ways, the cast hasnt seen the movie, they may have acted their asses off, but the director and editing can still make a good looking piece of shit. If it doesnt flow and the editing jumps around and the story sucks like revenge of the fallen, then it will bomb.

That was a lot of stuff for a two pack back then

Good job, now I have to get 2.

so what's your issue with the original moon knight mate? I love that one, one of the first mates to use the giant cape effectively, the hood, the weapons, it's a fantastic mate.

Ostog better get ready!

I've neever seen that, is that what kostis is trying to get as a mate? Seems impractical for beatdowns and stuff.

Clap clap clap.

Ok, so at this point I think your grievances are obvious as you have repeated them quite a few times. So what kind of response are you looking to get here exactly? I don't understand why you are repeating yourself when its already been addressed that changes are on the way. This is more aggressive than I'm used to seeing you.

for realz do that! I have a friend that was vending at the show and ended up next to the paizo booth. I had her ask if they are doing any more minimates and when she asked her response to me was "They do still make them" Not the most clear response but its what we got.

Kluh was included over others because its the hulk, and a 2nd hand captain america, 2nd hand wolverine werent going to cut it. Oh year we also get white supremacist Iron Man. I havent read axis, but maybe we can get a medusa or enchantress in a tru wave later on. Again I forgot the format the tru lines will follow after their animated wave 20 in regards to their tying in to comic waves. It either can or can't happen.

Or Targaryens

I remember the 2 dollar difference f0or sure and thinking, Ill buy these like all other minimates but this is bullshit. Im not even a dc fan. (around the time I wasnt, I grew into one because of these mates.)

That's weird, I remember early marvel being 7.99 for 2 packs and 9.99 for DC mates when they came out.

That makes sense

Has there been a licensing hurdle that kept a full wave pic from being shown on the back of any of the bags or the boxes? Either way I look forward to seeing how tmnt 3 turns out and how the bags progress from this point forward.

Happy birthday!

This is a pic I've been dying to see. Looks great!

Just saw the movie today and it was fantastic. Super stoked to pick up the new sets for it now.

I love the first couple of seasons, and even though I have seen the show in quite some time, the nostalgia alone here would have me army building putties like foot soldiers, i.e. a lot.

Gamestop, comes down to gamer's and toy collectors not being synonymous. I had a friend who bought halo minimates because I had always talked about minimates (he didn't really care for them) and they were way cheaper than mcfarlane halo or mega block sets. Gamer's who are toy collectors as well are way way less common than one might think. The whole reason gamestop carries toys is for young gamer's who come in with their parents and impulse buy stuff for their kids. Which is exactly why they have veered to cheaper, blinder collectibles. Of course they do have some statues in some gamestops now so clearly they are still trying to figure out collector mentality in a gamer environment. I think the bags should have had a mate pictured like the back of 2 packs, or at least on the box the bags were in like the blind lego boxes, but they didn't. Zach said they are changing this for wave 3 of tmnt and hopefully they can make this adjustment for ALL future bags so we can all rest easy on that. Whats done is done, as more companies start using the blind format, more companies adjust to the learning curve involved in their sales. It will get better buddy. Edited for atrocious spelling

you posted while I was trying to get this in. Its funnier if you see this right after Tommy's post.

You have some very interesting points and it sounds like you have some insight into how the process works.So Ill respond. A lot of this supports everything I already said. Despite the insight you may have you still seem to be drawing conclusions on a few factors without leaving room for numerous variables. You cant assume That any sales conversations went that way, you can't assume that every retailer DST pitched too responded that way. We don't and likely will not get detailed accounts of these meetings. Retailers/buyers are trying whatever they can to make some money. There is plenty of blind boxed crap that sells well here and now, and Japan has been doing it for a long time with success. Buyers also come with their own personal preferences and may not like minimates, or maybe they want them in bags by the registers and not in the toy aisles since their layout is full of toys from a company with more money than DST. Its all about Variables and it is what it is. I might not like blind bags, but I sure like that Im getting predator mates, NBXM, more ninja turtles, etc. I would much rather have a hard time finding what I want than to not have the option to ever have it because they couldnt afford to get made any other way.

You don't have to quit all out. Just moderate. Everyone has periods that they can't keep up with stuff. Just keep in mind college is a fun thing to do, but it doesn't mean you have to give up on everything else. Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I went from part time to full time to just having a baby and since my daughter was born I've done my first custom anything in 10 years. Take a break, no need to quit is all I'm saying.

I play a lot of board games but haven't found a lot of board games news sites like I have for toys or video games. Been trying to get news all day from gen con to see if the said anything about more minimates but I can't find anything. Anybody got some news?
