  1. I preordered the SSC EX of Luke. If you want HT Luke, I think the EX is necessary. No Han as I don't like the portrait. I didn't get Chewie since I didn't get Han. They will do more versions I imagine. I am really an Imperial collector, but I like the Luke. I got the EX Stormtrooper 2 pack and have the Spacetrooper on order. I might get another Sandtrooper but have all the SSC versions already.

  2. Before Minimates, I collected (and still have a lot of) vintage GI Joe 12", mostly Adventure Team. At some point, I got turned on to Action Man, which was never sold in the USA. He is GI Joe's European and Canadian cousin. I hate to say it, but Palitoy took GI Joe and made him so much better and more worldly. I often could only find the stuff in the UK and many did not want to do the work to ship to me in the USA. Therefore, I feel your pain and do not discriminate with trades or prizes/giveaways on this site. Being left out because of your location sucks. If a post carrier services your area, you are eligible.

  3. that must cost you a small fortune to mail out all those Shane?

    Sometimes, yes it does. Shipping a Minimate in the USA first class is about 1 to 2 dollars and I buy the bubble mailers in bulk so its still cheap. Shipping the same Minimate outside the USA is generally a minimum of $7 plus the added hassle of declarations (I can't just drop it in the post). Its all good though. I consider it a small matter considering how much fun it seems to bring to the group. I am not paying for the figures, thanks to Zach, so it tends to be a wash, from my point of view.
