I hope we at least get an alternate helmeted head with a different facial expression, if not some additional armor pieces as well, with future figures. I'm definitely ready for those 10th Anniversary villains (though I hope I have the room, haha)...

I would absolutely much rather support Luke than anyone else, but I can never afford to pay for anything up front (unless I'm getting it at that moment, obviously - I don't preorder groceries, lol), especially large bulk orders (a single wave of Minimates is bare minimum $32), but being able to reserve it for free gives me time to save up, the grace period to pay once it comes into stock helps me make sure I have the money saved (or at the very least move that saved amount to the right card - I've learned the hard way too many times to not have any funds on the cards I use online, just in case someone gets ahold of the number), and the Pile of Loot feature lets me pile months worth of toys up to ship for $4 flat (they used to start with a $7 charge, then 90cents-$1 per additional item depending on weight, so even then I'd get a thousand dollars worth of toys from 8 months of ordering for around $12-15). Being smaller, I don't expect Luke to compete with any of that, because I know he's got a much higher overhead, especially with shipping (being an occasional eBay seller or even trader on these boards, I have a hard time sending two Minimate packs for under $6 - I would never expect Luke to be able to ship a 4'x4' box for $4), and I know "if you don't support the little guy, the little guy won't be around much longer," but I don't make a lot of money, and I try to make every penny count, and if I have to pay even a few dollars more for Minimates even if it's just the shipping and not the toy prices themselves, that means I have to get fewer Minimates.

True.

I lived through this myself with Tower Records, and my mother did with Borders. What pisses me off about crap like this, and every other unjust BS in this country, is that the people this affects outnumber the people this benefits. We all need to stop fighting each other, and take them down. If only 200 people stop paying their taxes, they go to jail, and the politicians keep raking in their 6-figure incomes. But if everyone in the country stops paying their taxes, the politicians lose their salaries, and have to do what we say in order to even get a paycheck comparable to a McDonald's employee, let alone more. But everyone has to cooperate. Half the union can't strike while the other half are scabs. I don't honestly know what I could've done for Tower Records or my mom for Borders or Jason for TRU to keep them from closing while the execs get rich, but the fact that this keeps happening to the working class, while the "suits" not only get off scot-free, but benefit from it, needs to f*cking stop, and there has to be something that we can do to fight back in the future.

Alright, Specter, what's that set from?

I literally always preorder every Minimate that goes up on BBTS the second they go up, but I've had tons of them cancelled when the releases were then cancelled (like the 80's Turtles, for one). I'm not sure what else I could be doing.

Figures the better Rocket & new Groot get f*cked the same way Kurse & Frigga/Fandral & Hogun, and the solid Cheshire Cat & White Rabbit did...

I badly want at least one dropship, but if it's not in the cards, at least give me a two pack of clean Bishop & Ferro. (But seriously, please release both of them each with their own dropship.)

Are there reports of Alfred being broken before the box is opened?

It's not the easiest QC to build, and official is almost always better than custom, but a Mumm-Ra & Nathan Drake make for a pretty nice Hood.

Yeah, I stopped at the one by my work the day of the "announcement," and there were no signs & nothing was discounted at all, but it was packed.

I grabbed another Starlord & Strange on my way to work today (from Menagerie's store, even...oops). So, I now have one Starlord left, and two Stranges.

Two full sets have been claimed! I have one full set & 1 Star-Lord/Proxima set left.

Just remove the kerchief. That's what I did, haha.

Let me preface this by saying I literally only did this to help you swell gents & ladies. That said, who needs help?

We might get him in the Walgreens animated line, as IIRC, Zach said we're getting a new character who could double for their movie version as well, and the animated Collector looks exactly like Del Toro's version.

I go at least weekly.

Same. What's the matter with the previous Hammer figure, besides being harder to get because of the dump case?

I love you.

Not only did you forget Multiple Man, but you only listed two and a half 2-packs...

I just need Thing! Also, if anyone isn't building Thanos, but ending up with pieces (except for his torso, as I already got Proxima Midnight), I need them, please.

No TRU packs last night. Gonna check a different store tonight. (Also no TRU exclusive Groot Pop, either. )

Classic BSG Baltar's loincloth is on my Radioactive Man (ha, and as I type that, Fall Out Boy comes on my shuffle).

I'd honestly rather have the Disney versions.
