PM and let me know what you would need.

Ive got my media pass and will be there Friday and Saturday. Let me know if you need help then.

Damn spent all week F5ing HasbroToyShop that I stopped chekcing TRU.

Hopefully more will come in stock as TRU.com has been doing great with quantities for the last few waves.

I just want to commend AFX for how easier it was for me to order the Thundercats and Alpha Flight box sets this morning.

As a Joe fan I'm used to the hell that is waiting on HasbroToyShop for days. AFX however has always been a breeze when it comes to con exclusives.

Updated 7/16/12 - #142: The Times they are a Changing

The Silver Surfer yearns for better days.

Not to look gift horses in the mouths, but...Onslaught over Banshee, Mojo, & the Cuckoos? Ugh. I wanted him, but the least of all the X-characters.

I try to look at this positively as I'm sure everyone we voted on is considered for a future figure and I'm sure that they know fan interest on some of these to expect them coming in some form (wave, tru, con exclusive) sooner than later.

Just saw the winners and super excited!

Cyborg Spider-Man

Ghost Rider (Danny Blue)

Songbird

Onslaught

Nova Centurians

Baron Zemo

Baron Zemo WW2 Variant

So excited for all of them.

Love the 4 pack model for the T-Cats.

However Battle Beasts look better than I ever imagined.

Also love the new "fat guy" mold on the tekken figure.

I hope the Walking Dead success means we get some Invincible minimates asap.

I'm overjoyed to still see Wave 13 available online.

I'm not sure if it's because these were in stores first and then online or if TRU finally increased their quantities but it's great to see that everyone who wants the wave will be able to get them without paying eBay prices.

cobraaaaa!

La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La!

Very cool! Would love to see those in traditional paint schemes, as well. I need to find and buy from this guy.

In the article is a link for his email, he was very reasonably price and did a great job.

A couple months back I connected with a minimate customizer on eBay and had one of my favorite GI Joe faction immortalized as Minimates. He did such an incredible job I had to share it with the world so for those of you interested you can click the link and listen to me ramble on and review these awesome customs.

Seriously no matter what you may think of the Python Patrol, these minimates are awesome. Big thanks to Michael Giaritelli for these amazing designs.

Updated 7/9/12 - #141: Age before Beauty

Spider-Man takes it out school and tries to swipe Emma Stone from Andrew Garfield.

http://crimsonmonkey.com/comics/minimate-theatre/minimate-theatre-141-age-before-beauty/

Nobody wants to launch a line with a crummy box set.

But I think a 4 pack of all Berbers would have been the better way to go.

Followed up with an entire wave of just Wilykit and Wilykat variations.

That's where the money is at!

Came so close to buying on eBay. Happy Boomer showed up and happy to see the whole wave remaining in stock. Did they finally increase their orders? Or is this wave not selling?

I saw this and wondered if they had mislabeled the Boomer Richter set but they can't be that misinformed, can they?

Updated 7/2/12 - #140: Andrew Garfield's Not Expendable

Andrew Garfield challenges the old guard of action heroes.

http://crimsonmonkey.com/comics/minimate-theatre/minimate-theatre-140-andrew-garfield-s-not-expendable/

WTF? I ordered all of wave 13 yesterday but Boomer and Richter. The hell? Very angry at this since I can't even get that pack by itself on eBay. I'll keep patrolling the site until the end of the week but then I may need some help getting my Boom Boom.

My TRU still doesn't have these and with no sign of these on tru.com, I am going to have to pay ebay prices.

I am beyond happy. I love the new toon and hope it returns but I am digging the classic mates. I wish I could preorder all of these now. Zack anyway I could just send you my credit card number and you can charge me whatever as long as you send me every mate produced each year.

Thundercats and Walking Dead minimates, in the same year no less. Best year ever!

Updated 6/18/12 - #138: Pimpin' NO MORE

Destro tries to have his cake and eat it too.

http://crimsonmonkey.com/comics/minimate-theatre/minimate-theatre-138-pimpin-no-more/

Nothing at my TRU and nothing online. This is a big must have set for me, so getting a little annoyed.

Super pissed I missed out on these figured there would be a ton of stock and was waiting for wave 13 to show up. I knew I should have bought.

BTW it is an exclusive set. See here: http://crimsonmonkey.com/previews/preview-the-expendables-minimates/
