Check out Stuckakid.com they have variants of batman (http://www.stuckakid.com/index.php?cPath=2_75)

My advice is to keeping watching eBay and if you REALLY want the figures you may have to buy the vehicles or playsets. I mean really apart from a few vehicles (batmobile and batwing) most of us only bought them for the figures in the first place.

I like phasing Kitty. If you like yours non-phasing, this is an easy fix.

I agree she has kinda of grown on me too!

Heck yes I play with my minimates! Except for the chase ones I leave those in the box. But it is nice to know that I am not the only person over 15 still playing with toys. I mean admiring them with sound effects.

Was making the rounds today. TRU has only one box of avengers minimates left! Of the 3 targets I went (over the course of 4 days) 2 had minimate all were the sue and thing 2 pack.

These guy sound sweet. Even if they are interrupting a regular line, which I doubt they are. Think of what these will do for minimates popularity. If this movie is a success and everyone wants the toys people are bound to come across minimates. And once you pop the fun don't stop!

CHASE:

Elektra (Black)

Stealth Iron Man

Invisible Woman

Emma Frost (Diamond Form)

Ice Man (Frosty)

Imprisoned Sentry

Days of Future Past Wolverine

Not a complete collection, but I get what I can find. Just to note all these were purchased for regular retail price!

Grey Hulk & Ultimate Spider-Man 2-pack

Silver Surfer

Professor X & Magneto 2-pack

Mary Jane & Peter Parker DST 2-pack

Giant-Size X-Men #1 Boxed Set

Power Man & Iron Fist 2-Pack

Classic Iron Man & Silver Centurion Iron Man

Clobberin' Time Thing & Super Skrull

Battle Damaged Captain America & Punisher

Marvel Minimate 10-Pack

Dark Phoenix & Cyclops

Fantastic Four Set

Thanos & Silver Surfer

Out of this list those close to my heart are black Elektra I found here 75% off at a store in the Tucson mall. Also the giant-size x-men which I was able to get when it came out.

I just stood mine up on a shelf, and hoped they would not fall over. If they did then I would set them up again, and again. I suggest sticky-tacky, that is what I use on some of my other action figures. I would use it on minimates but I take them down and play with them all the time that it is not worth it. Right now we are about to move so they are in a shoebox. Which is very convenient, but I takes forever to find anyone and forget it if they are missing a hand or foot.

I think there is a thread on how other display there mates.

Hands down, without a doubt, Dark Knight Batman (the one that came with the batmobile) such a great mate

Followed by the entire rouges gallery; Joker (batcave), Riddler, and Catwomen were all really well done, some of the best mate around.

We actually don't have a lot of pegwarmers here with the exception of the Sue and Ben 2 pack. THere's like a case here that never moves at our Target.

I know the feeling. we have four ben and sue at our Target. I know once they go we will some GSX, but they seem not to move.

I just finished watching the first season of JL. Man that is a great show! I enjoyed watching the episodes that I had seen many times. You know from that time when cartoon network only had that first season and would just keep replaying them over and over. But know I am moving on to season 2 which have many episodes that I have only seen once, can’t wait! I would recommend to any comic fan that they take time and check these out they are great!

Has anyone tried returning or exchanging them to Target???

I have done this in the past with many types of figures (Star wars, Spiderman...ect). Simply present the figure and tell them it is broken and you would like to exchange it for a new one. You then get a new one from the shelf and bring it back to the Returns Desk. They swap out the broken one for the new one and send the broken one back to the company.

My Blade’s leg broke not to long ago and I am planning on doing this when TRU release the Marvel Knights 4 Pack, although I may just buy it given all the paint variation.

I just checked my TRU and there were only 4 left, 2 of each set. I really hope this means the Marvel Knights come out soon!

Has anyone from DST/AA addressed the quality issues with these waves yet? I would go to their site to see but I don't want to give them the hit count.

I don't necessarily see any of the quality issues mentioned being extremely bad, except the Sentry's missing belt. My perception of these figures is that they are fine. They are not perfect, but when I opened them all and played with them a little bit, nothing bothered me much other than the stiff legs on my Chase Sentry. If anything, AA will probably fix these issues if they are rereleased at Target. I'm a happy camper, but I can understand why the issues are brought up.

I agree with Storm here. Sure they are not the best minimates ever. But they were both a really solid lines.

Man I missed these pictures by the time i got around to the site it was shut down.

I would love it if someone could help me out.

thanks

I know what you guys mean those were some great shows, better then the crap they have now. I mean The Batman is ok but LoSH is kind of sucky granted I have only seen one episode so I will give it more time, really only because it is on right before the batman. But the rest of the Saturday morning line is just trash. I do have the all justice league on my netflicks and will start them right after the batman superman movie.

Netflicks, by the way as all these DVDs for rent, if anyone is interested.

I just called my LCS and they only have the x-men wave.

Has anyone tried returning their broken mates to target? Just ask for an exchange. This way target will send it back to AA and AA might start to see the problem.

I don’t know about anyone else but I really dig the cat look. I don’t like the hair piece it will not stay on. But not to worry X3 beast is not to far away.

I know what you mean Cloneme my LCS owner was about to call his distributor and see why he was skipped, until I told him that this happened to everyone. When he asked why series 13 came out before 12 I told I did not know but would find out. Needless to say it seems no one knows.
